USITC HTS Tariff Schedule Scraper
Search the US Harmonized Tariff Schedule by product keyword or HTS code and get every matching tariff line with its duty rates. Each row includes the full HTS-10 code, article description, general and special rates, and the Column 2 rate. Export to CSV, JSON, Excel, or XML.
The official USITC HTS website is built for browsing chapters, not for bulk keyword search. Finding every tariff line that mentions a product like 'apple' or 'steel' means clicking through dozens of headings. This Actor searches the entire Harmonized Tariff Schedule for your keyword and returns every match in one flat dataset, ready for compliance checks, cost modeling, or trade research.

| Import compliance managers | Pull all HTS lines containing a material to audit for Section 301 exposure. |
| E-commerce sellers | Find the correct HTS code and general duty rate for a new product line. |
| Trade data analysts | Collect tariff schedules for multiple keywords to feed into a landed-cost model. |

Troubleshooting
Why am I getting no results for my keyword?
The USITC HTS uses specific legal article descriptions. Try a broader term, a different variation, or a partial HTS code. For example, 'apple' returns fruit-related lines, but 'iPhone' will not match because the schedule uses terms like 'smartphone' or specific HTS codes.
The run stopped before collecting all matches.
Check the 'Maximum tariff lines' setting. If it is set to a low number, the Actor stops once it reaches that count. Increase the limit and rerun.
Some duty rate fields are empty in my results.
Not every HTS line has all rate types. Some lines may have only a General rate and no Special rates, or the Column 2 rate may be the same as Column 1. This reflects the official schedule.
The search returns too many unrelated lines.
Try a more specific keyword or a partial HTS code. Searching 'fresh apple' will narrow results compared to 'apple'. You can also lower the max items to sample results first.
Can I get Section 301 or 232 flags in the output?
This Actor returns the raw tariff schedule without trade remedy overlays. For Section 301 and Section 232 flags, consider a specialized Actor that computes those overlays.
FAQ
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| What is the USITC HTS? | The Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States, published by the USITC, is the official list of every import tariff code and its duty rates. It is the primary reference for US customs classification. |
| Does this Actor return the full HTS-10 code? | Yes. Every result row includes the complete ten-digit HTS code and its full article description as published by the USITC. |
| Can I search by HTS code instead of a keyword? | Yes. You can enter a partial HTS code like '8471' or a full code, and the Actor will return all matching lines. |
| What duty rates are included? | Each row includes the Column 1 General rate, any applicable Special rates, and the Column 2 rate. The exact fields depend on what the USITC publishes for that line. |
| Does this Actor flag Section 301 or Section 232 lines? | This Actor returns the raw tariff schedule data as published. It does not compute or overlay Section 301, Section 232, or other trade remedy flags. |
| How many results can I get in one run? | You set the maximum with the 'Maximum tariff lines' input. The default is 10 for a quick test, and you can raise it up to 1,000,000. |
| What export formats are supported? | You can export your dataset to CSV, JSON, Excel, or XML from the Apify run console. |
| Is this the same data as the official USITC HTS website? | Yes. The Actor reads the public tariff schedule directly from the USITC website, so the data matches the official publication. |
| Can I search for multiple keywords in one run? | The Actor accepts one keyword per run. To search multiple keywords, run the Actor once per keyword or use an Apify workflow to chain runs. |
| Does this Actor require an API key or login? | No. It reads the public USITC HTS data directly, so no registration or API key is needed. |
