Actors are a software tools running on the Apify platform, for all kinds of web data extraction and automation use cases. In Batch mode, an Actor accepts a well-defined JSON input, performs an action which can take anything from a few seconds to a few hours, and optionally produces a well-defined JSON output, datasets with results, or files in key-value store. In Standby mode, an Actor provides a web server which can be used as a website, API, or an MCP server. Actors are written with capital "A". ## How to integrate an Actor? If asked about integration, you help developers integrate Actors into their projects. You adapt to their stack and deliver integrations that are safe, well-documented, and production-ready. The best way to integrate Actors is as follows. In JavaScript/TypeScript projects, use official [JavaScript/TypeScript client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js.md): ```bash npm install apify-client ``` In Python projects, use official [Python client library](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python.md): ```bash pip install apify-client ``` In shell scripts, use [Apify CLI](https://docs.apify.com/cli/docs.md): ````bash # MacOS / Linux curl -fsSL https://apify.com/install-cli.sh | bash # Windows irm https://apify.com/install-cli.ps1 | iex ```bash In AI frameworks, you might use the [Apify MCP server](https://docs.apify.com/platform/integrations/mcp.md). If your project is in a different language, use the [REST API](https://docs.apify.com/api/v2.md). For usage examples, see the [API](#api) section below. For more details, see Apify documentation as [Markdown index](https://docs.apify.com/llms.txt) and [Markdown full-text](https://docs.apify.com/llms-full.txt). # README ## US Tariff Lookup - HTS Codes & Import Duty Rates Search the official US Harmonized Tariff Schedule (HTS) for import duty rates, trade program eligibility, and tariff classification. Data sourced directly from the US International Trade Commission (USITC) at hts.usitc.gov. **No API key required.** Just enter a product keyword and get current duty rates. ### What you get - **HTS Code** — Full 10-digit Harmonized Tariff Schedule classification - **Product Description** — Official tariff line description - **General (Column 1) Rate** — MFN duty rate for normal trade relations countries - **Special Rate** — Preferential rates under FTAs and trade programs (USMCA, KORUS, GSP, AGOA, etc.) - **Column 2 Rate** — Rate for non-MFN countries - **Units of Quantity** — kg, m2, liters, etc. - **Footnotes** — Regulatory cross-references and additional duty notes ### Use cases **Importers and customs brokers** — Look up applicable duty rates for import cost analysis and customs classification. **Trade compliance teams** — Verify HTS classification and check FTA eligibility for preferential rates. **Supply chain analysts** — Evaluate tariff impact on sourcing decisions across product categories. **Market researchers** — Assess trade barriers and duty rates before entering new product markets. **Policy analysts and journalists** — Track tariff rates on products affected by trade policy changes. ### Output Fields | Field | Description | |---|---| | `htsCode` | Harmonized Tariff Schedule code | | `description` | Product description | | `generalRate` | General (Column 1) duty rate — MFN countries | | `specialRate` | Special/FTA preferential rates (USMCA, GSP, etc.) | | `otherRate` | Column 2 rate (non-MFN countries) | | `units` | Units of quantity (kg, m2, liters, etc.) | | `additionalDuties` | Additional duties or surcharges | | `footnotes` | Regulatory footnotes and cross-references | ### Example Input Search by product keyword: ```json { "query": "steel", "maxResults": 100 } ```` Search by HTS code: ```json { "query": "aluminum", "htsCode": "76", "maxResults": 200 } ``` ### Example Searches | Query | What it finds | |-------|--------------| | `steel` | All steel and iron product tariff lines | | `aluminum` | Aluminum products, plates, foils, tubes | | `passenger vehicles` | Cars, SUVs, trucks — Chapter 87 | | `soybeans` | Agricultural tariff lines | | `semiconductors` | Electronic components, chips, wafers | | `lithium batteries` | Battery tariff lines | ### Data Source All data comes from the [US International Trade Commission](https://hts.usitc.gov) — the official source for the Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States. This is the same data used by US Customs and Border Protection for tariff classification and duty assessment. # Actor input Schema ## `query` (type: `string`): Product keyword to search (e.g. 'steel', 'aluminum', 'passenger vehicles', 'soybeans', 'semiconductors'). Searches product descriptions and HTS code fields. ## `htsCode` (type: `string`): Optional: filter results to a specific HTS chapter or heading (e.g. '72' for iron/steel, '8703' for passenger vehicles). When combined with a search query, only returns matches within this HTS section. ## `maxResults` (type: `integer`): Maximum results to return (default 100, max 5000). ## Actor input object example ```json { "query": "steel", "htsCode": "", "maxResults": 100 } ``` # API You can run this Actor programmatically using our API. Below are code examples in JavaScript, Python, and CLI, as well as the OpenAPI specification and MCP server setup. ## JavaScript example ```javascript import { ApifyClient } from 'apify-client'; // Initialize the ApifyClient with your Apify API token // Replace the '' with your token const client = new ApifyClient({ token: '', }); // Prepare Actor input const input = { "query": "steel", "htsCode": "", "maxResults": 100 }; // Run the Actor and wait for it to finish const run = await client.actor("pink_comic/us-tariff-hts-lookup").call(input); // Fetch and print Actor results from the run's dataset (if any) console.log('Results from dataset'); console.log(`💾 Check your data here: https://console.apify.com/storage/datasets/${run.defaultDatasetId}`); const { items } = await client.dataset(run.defaultDatasetId).listItems(); items.forEach((item) => { console.dir(item); }); // 📚 Want to learn more 📖?
