HS Code Lookup

Curated by Vinod Kumar Jain & Amit Jain · All Frontier Global · free, no login

Find where your product sits in the Harmonized System: keyword-filter the 21 sections and chapters 01–97 of the WCO nomenclature, then confirm in the official tariff databases. A guide, not a legal ruling — only a customs authority can fix a classification.

The HS numbers chapters 01–97 (chapter 77 is reserved for future HS use); chapters 98–99 are reserved for countries’ national use. International codes run to 6 digits, with national lines beyond that — 8 digits in India’s ITC-HS, 10 in the EU TARIC and the US HTS.

Confirm in the official classifiers

• WCO Trade Tools — the World Customs Organization’s official HS nomenclature (current edition, with the legal notes).
• India — ICEGATE and CBIC — India’s customs portal and tariff (8-digit ITC-HS); see also DGFT for the ITC-HS policy per line.
• EU — TARIC consultation — the EU’s integrated tariff (10-digit), showing duties and measures per line.
• US — Harmonized Tariff Schedule — the United States 10-digit tariff, searchable free.

What this tool will not do

• It will not give you a code. It filters the section and chapter structure so you know which part of the nomenclature to read. Headings turn on the section and chapter legal notes and the General Rules of Interpretation, not on keyword matches.
• Only a customs authority can fix your classification — through an advance ruling in India, a Binding Tariff Information in the EU, or a CBP ruling in the United States. A guess that survives one shipment can still be reassessed later, with duty and penalty.
• The structure here is the international 2-digit level only. Your actual line is 8 or 10 digits and lives in the importing country’s own tariff, which is where the duty rate is too.
• The chapter and section text is our plain-language rendering of the nomenclature’s structure for navigation. The WCO’s published nomenclature governs.

Ask about a specific product

Describe the product, its material and its use — for example “what part of the HS covers frozen peeled shrimp, export packed?” Treat any answer as a starting point and verify it in the official classifiers above before you declare anything.

The nomenclature is the World Customs Organization’s: WCO · WCO Trade Tools. National tariffs: ICEGATE · CBIC · DGFT · EU TARIC · US HTS. Nothing is fetched from any of them: the 21 sections and 97 chapters are held in the page and filtered in your browser.
