TariffSense

HS codes you can stand behind.

Describe a product in plain words. TariffSense finds the right code, asks only the questions that matter, and writes up the reasoning so you can show your work when customs asks.

From a product description to the right code.

Not a guess. Every option first, then narrowed down with you.

  1. Describe it your way.

    Type a description or paste the line from the invoice. Brand names and marketing language are fine: TariffSense works out what the item actually is.

  2. See every code it could fall under.

    All the realistic options, side by side, with what separates them. Codes that do not fit are shown too, with the reason, so nothing is quietly skipped.

  3. Answer a few questions.

    Only the ones that change the answer, most important first, in plain language. No tariff jargon needed.

  4. Get a report for your file.

    The code, the reasoning behind it, and the one detail that would change it, written down and ready to share.

A report ready for your file.

Every report gives the code, the reasoning in plain terms, the tariff rules and notes it relies on, and the one detail that would change the answer. When an auditor, a broker or a colleague asks why, the answer is already written down.

Backed by real rulings.

When two codes are close, TariffSense looks at how similar goods have been ruled on: CBP rulings for the US, Canadian International Trade Tribunal decisions for Canada. It only cites rulings it has found and read, and tells you why each one matters to your product.

Try "what if" before you commit.

Change a detail, like the material, a feature or how the product ships, and instantly see whether the code changes. Useful before you switch suppliers or redesign a product.

The US and Canada, one workflow.

Classify for imports into the United States or Canada, using each country’s own tariff, notes and rulings.

Look up any code fast.

Search the tariff by number or in plain language, and read the notes that matter for the code in front of you.

From the code to what you will pay.

Once the code is settled, see every duty that applies on the entry date: base rate, Section 232, Section 301, IEEPA, surtaxes and any trade-agreement rate you can claim.

Frequently asked questions

One answer, with the alternatives shown. You first see every code the product could fall under and what separates them. As you answer a few questions the list narrows to one, and you get a written report explaining why.

Every answer shows its work: the tariff text, the notes and the classification rules it relies on, plus any rulings on similar goods. Rulings are only cited after they have been found and read, so you or your broker can check the reasoning yourselves.

TariffSense is built for tariff classification. It works from the current US and Canadian tariffs and their notes, and only cites rulings it has actually found. Instead of one confident-sounding answer, it shows the alternatives and the detail that decides between them.

Yes. Pick the United States or Canada as the destination and TariffSense uses that country’s tariff, notes and rulings.

Not while classifying: the code should depend on what the product is, not what it costs. Once the code is settled, the duty calculator shows every duty that applies on the entry date.

TariffSense stays up to date with the latest trade regulations, and our internal team reviews and validates regulatory updates before they're published. However, the tool is intended for research and planning purposes. We recommend working with a licensed customs broker to prepare and file your customs entries.
