Frequently Asked Questions
How many digits does an HS code have?
The HS itself is six digits and is used worldwide. Countries add digits for their own tariff and statistical needs, such as the 10-digit US HTS code.
Why does the HS chapter matter for landed cost?
Duty rates, trade remedies, and free trade agreement eligibility all hinge on the classification, so the chapter is the first step in estimating landed cost accurately.
