HTS classification software with inspectable evidence

Tariff Code Compliance Explorer is a public reference surface for researching U.S. HTS classifications. It exposes the schedule version, hierarchy, code text, notes, exclusions, definitions, rates, and relationships that support a decision. Guided TCC workflows can use that evidence to compare candidates and prepare a reviewable recommendation.

• Inputs: destination, product identity, material, construction, function, intended user, and other distinguishing facts.
• Outputs: selected system and version, candidate codes, supporting evidence, rejected alternatives, assumptions, uncertainty, and open questions.
• Evidence: stable public links to the exact tariff release and code records used.

The anonymous tariff metadata currently designates 2026-rev-16 as the default U.S. HTS release. The release itself is available at this exact-version page.

Classification depends on complete product facts and the legal schedule. An AI-assisted result can narrow candidates and expose its evidence, but it cannot turn missing facts into certainty. Stop for focused questions when a material fact could change the result.

Use a qualified customs professional for binding or high-risk decisions. TCC research is non-binding support, not legal advice or a customs ruling.
