Track official USITC Harmonized Tariff Schedule lines by HTS prefix or description keyword. Build a source-linked watchlist for customs, trade compliance, or import operations.

🎯 What it does

The Actor reads the currently published USITC schedule and returns tariff lines that match your scope. Each line carries its general duty rate, special (preferential program) rate, and Column 2 rate, plus the official release it came from. Run it for a full snapshot, or switch on changes-only mode to get just the new and changed lines on repeat scheduled runs.

👥 Who it is for

• Customs brokers who need the general, special, and Column 2 rate for a line in one place instead of three lookups.
• Trade compliance teams monitoring specific tariff families for rate or classification changes.
• Import operations teams maintaining internal HTS watchlists tied to the official schedule.
• Researchers who need a reproducible, source-linked tariff export with full release provenance.

⚙️ How it works

STEP 1 Add code prefixes Enter the tariff families you want to follow.

STEP 2 Refine the match Optionally add a description keyword.

STEP 3 Monitor the release Schedule changes-only checks for the same scope.

💡 Good to know

• This Actor reads the currently published schedule. It reports the special and Column 2 rates published on each line, but does not resolve which country-specific trade program applies to a shipment or calculate landed duty.
• Use the same scope for scheduled change-only runs.
• A partial run does not replace the saved baseline.

💰 Pricing

This Actor uses pay per result. Empty runs do not create result charges. There is no subscription. Start with a focused prefix to confirm the output fits your process.

❓ FAQ

Can I search a full code? Yes. Prefixes can contain two to ten digits.

Does this cover special or Column 2 rates? Yes, when the official line publishes them. The Actor returns what USITC publishes; it does not determine which program applies to a specific shipment.

Does it provide legal advice? No. Verify tariff treatment with your own qualified trade adviser.

Why are unchanged lines missing? Change-only mode omits them after a complete baseline run.

Can I schedule a watchlist? Yes. Schedule the same saved input in Apify.
