US tariff codes
HTS code lookup: what goods from China really pay in 2026
Updated · By Joshua Giles, founder of Supercargo (JG Core Ltd)
What is an HTS code?
An HTS code is the 10-digit number that classifies a product in the Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States. The first six digits are the international HS heading, the next two set the US duty rate, and the last two are statistical. The printed rate is only the first layer: Chapter 99 adds Section 232 and 301 duty on many goods from China.
Matching words in the schedule is not classification. Which code your goods go under is your licensed broker’s decision.
The tariff schedule’s general rate is the first layer, not the duty. Each code below carries its full stack (Section 232, Section 301 and the country tariff that took effect on 24 July 2026), with every layer linked to the source it was read from.
| HTS code | Goods | Printed rate | Actual duty |
|---|---|---|---|
| 3924.10.40 | Plastic tableware and kitchenware | 3.4% | 15.9% |
| 6302.60.00 | Cotton terry towels and kitchen linen | 9.1% | 29.1% |
| 6911.10.80 | Porcelain and china tableware | 20.8% | 40.8% |
| 6912.00.48 | Ceramic tableware, not porcelain | 9.8% | 22.3% |
| 7323.93.00 | Stainless steel kitchenware | 2% | 27% |
| 7323.99.90 | Iron or steel household articles, other | 3.4% | 53.4% |
| 7615.10.71 | Aluminum kitchenware and bakeware | 3.1% | 28.1% |
| 9403.20.00 | Metal furniture, including steel shelving | Free | 37.5%–50% |
Where a code shows a range, the rate depends on the statistical line: Section 232 reaches only some lines, and where it does, the July 2026 country tariff does not. The code page shows which.
Classification is your licensed broker’s decision. These pages set out what the tariff schedule says about each code; they do not suggest a code for any product.

HTS codes, answered
What is an HTS code?
A Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTSUS) number classifies imported goods. The first six digits are the international Harmonized System heading, digits seven and eight are the US tariff line that sets the duty rate, and the last two are a statistical suffix. The USITC publishes the schedule.
How do I look up an HTS code?
Search the official schedule at hts.usitc.gov by number or keyword, or use the lookup on this page for the codes we have verified with their full 2026 duty stack. Matching a word is not classification; your licensed broker decides the code.
Why is the duty higher than the rate in the schedule?
The printed general rate is only the first layer. Chapter 99 adds Section 232, Section 301 and other duties on top for many goods from China, so the duty actually paid is the sum. Each code page shows the full stack.
I paid IEEPA duty on these codes in 2025. Can I get it back?
If you were the importer of record, CBP is refunding IEEPA duty paid from 4 February 2025 to 24 February 2026, with interest, through a CAPE Declaration in the ACE Portal. See our IEEPA refund guide.
The schedule itself: USITC Harmonized Tariff Schedule (Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States, Revision 19 (2026)).
