The HTSUS (Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States) is the US tariff: the list of 10-digit codes and duty rates used to classify every product imported into the US.
What does HTSUS stand for?
HTSUS stands for the Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States, often shortened to HTS. It is published by the US International Trade Commission and applied by CBP.
Who needs to use the HTSUS?
Anyone selling or shipping goods into the US. The importer of record is responsible for declaring the correct HTSUS code and paying the matching duty.
How it relates to classification
The first six digits of an HTSUS code are the international HS code; the last four are US-specific. UK and EU codes share the first six digits but split differently after that, so each market needs its own classification.
