Tariff Impact Checker

Check your HTS Codes for current U.S. tariff exposure

Paste the HTS codes you import into the United States and see in seconds which ones are caught by an active Section 301, 232, or 338 trade action. You’ll see why, when it took effect, and the duty rate before and after, where the source data has it published.

How it works

Get started in three simple steps

Up to ten codes, no account, results in seconds.

01

Enter your country of origin

Origin determines measures; Section 338 affects Canadian goods.

02

Enter your HTS codes

One per line, or separated by commas, semicolons, or spaces.

03

Click Check impact

See which codes are flagged, which aren't, and why.

If you are flagged

What you get back

For every flagged code: a plain-language description, which trade action applies, the effective date, and the duty rate before and after, when the source data has it published. Codes with no match are shown too, not hidden, so you know they were actually checked.

Not sure one of your flagged codes is classified correctly? Confirm it with our HTS Code Lookup tool before relying on the result.

This won't calculate your total landed cost. For that, use the duty and tax calculator.

FAQ

Answers to all your queries

What does the Tariff Impact Checker do?

Enter your HTS codes and country of origin to instantly check tariff actions for U.S. imports. The tool flags active and announced measures showing current vs. previous duty rates, upcoming changes with effective dates, and potential exclusions that could waive duties. It reflects the latest developments, including the Section 301 forced-labor tariffs that rolled out on Jul 24, 2026 and the new, planned Section 338 tariffs on Canadian goods taking effect Aug 19, 2026.

What are potential exclusions?

Many tariff actions carve out exceptions — for example, goods already in transit before the effective date, donations, specific product categories, or USMCA-qualifying products from Canada. The Section 338 action on Canada, for instance, excludes several categories such as energy, potash, and goods already covered by Section 232. 

For each flagged measure, the checker lists these carve-outs with their HTS headings and sources so you can see whether one might apply to your goods. Whether it actually applies depends on your specific shipment, so verify with your licensed customs broker, or confirm the underlying classification with our HTS Code Lookup tool

What is Section 301?

Section 301 of the Trade Act of 1974 lets the U.S. government impose tariffs on goods from specific countries in response to unfair trade practices. It's a long-established authority — the tariffs on Chinese goods first imposed in 2018 are Section 301 measures still in force today. What's changed is its reach: since the IEEPA tariffs were struck down in early 2026, Section 301 has carried more of the load, and now spans a wide range of countries and products — the China measures, newer country-specific actions, and the forced-labor tariffs applied to some 60 trading partners — 10% for countries with a U.S. trade deal or agreement, 12.5% for those without — as of Jul 2026. Because some of these rates are calculated net of the standard (MFN) duty rather than simply stacked on top, the interaction between actions matters as much as the published rate.

What is Section 232?

Section 232 of the Trade Expansion Act of 1962 allows tariffs on imports the U.S. government determines threaten national security. It's most commonly applied to steel, aluminum, copper, and automobiles, along with related derivative products.

What is Section 338?

Section 338 of the Tariff Act of 1930 was a rarely used provision that lets the president impose duties of up to 50% on goods from a country found to discriminate against U.S. commerce. It sat essentially unused for decades until Jul 20, 2026, when three proclamations placed a 50% tariff on a broad range of Canadian-origin goods, effective Aug 19, 2026. Unlike most other U.S. actions, these duties apply even to goods that qualify under USMCA/CUSMA — coverage is determined by your product's HTS code, not your certificate of origin. If your country of origin is Canada, the checker flags any of your codes that appear on the published lists.

What is Section 122?

Section 122 of the Trade Act of 1974 is a balance-of-payments authority that lets the U.S. impose a temporary, across-the-board import surcharge — capped at 15% for a maximum of 150 days unless Congress extends it. It was used in early 2026 as a stopgap after the Supreme Court struck down the IEEPA tariffs, taking effect Feb 24 and expiring at the end of that 150-day window on Jul 24, 2026, when it was replaced by Section 301 measures. It's included here for historical context; it is not a current charge.

How often is this list updated?

Our trade team adds new measures as they're published. Check back after any major tariff announcement, or use the tool directly to see current status.

Does this tool calculate my total duty cost?

No. It tells you which of your codes are affected and the rate change where it was published. For a full landed-cost estimate, use our duty and tax calculator.

Is this legal or trade advice? 

No. This is a self-serve informational tool. For anything that affects a real shipment or compliance decision, book time with a trade expert.

What if none of my codes are flagged?

You'll still see all of them listed as checked. Nothing is hidden or silently dropped.

Check your codes now

The date is fixed even though the final code list is not, which argues for screening now rather than waiting for a certainty that will arrive after your next few shipments have already moved. Screening a code list takes a minute. Sorting out a misclassified entry after it has cleared takes considerably longer, and costs more.
