Give catalog and commerce teams a practical starting point for classification research, directly in the applications they use.
Use the information your catalog already contains.
Include the destination country with your request.
Use the returned results to support classification research.
Built around your workflow
Bring classification search closer to your catalog.
Catalog teams
Research HS codes while preparing product information for international selling.
Commerce developers

A practical example
Start with a description. Review possible HS codes.
A catalog manager prepares a boxing-glove product for a destination market. Your application submits the product name, description, category, SKU, and destination country, then presents the returned codes for review.

Information you receive

Common questions
Before you get started.
Do I need an existing HS code to search?
No existing HS code is required in the documented search request. You provide product information, a SKU, and the destination country along with your API access key.
Can I request more than one result?
The documented API lets you request between one and five top HS code results. See the documentation for the request format and response fields.
Does HS Code Search calculate duties and taxes?
This API focuses on classification search. The separate Landed Cost Calculator API estimates duties, taxes, and fees. Tell us if your application needs both capabilities.
How do I discuss pricing and supported markets?
Request access and share your product categories, destination countries, and expected usage. Ask our team to confirm support, pricing, and evaluation options for your use case.
