Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about TariffBase, our data, and how the platform works.

TariffBase is a global tariff intelligence platform designed to make professional-grade tariff data and HS code classification affordable and accessible. Our platform is divided into two areas:

  • Tariff Tools: Tariff Search, Tariff Schedule, Smart HS Code Finder, and Tariff API - operational tools for daily trade work.
  • Tariff Intelligence: Tariff News, Daily Summary, Tariff Tracker, and Reports & Insights - strategic tools for monitoring policy developments.

All data is sourced from official government customs authorities and official publications. Our system is updated on a frequent schedule, with fast turnaround for major tariff actions. Each tariff result includes the effective date, source reference, and a change trail where applicable. We use a human-in-the-loop quality assurance process to ensure data accuracy.

TariffBase is explicitly built for small and medium enterprises (SMEs) and lean teams that need to move fast without hiring dedicated trade specialists. This includes e-commerce importers and small retailers, small manufacturers and exporters, distributors and wholesalers, and freight forwarders and logistics providers.

Trade consultants and customs brokers typically charge hundreds of dollars per consultation. With TariffBase starting at $24/month, you get unlimited lookups per account for the same professional data at a predictable monthly cost. Instead of paying per lookup, you can do as many tariff checks and HS code lookups as you need.

Yes. We offer a 10-day free trial so you can explore the platform and validate our data coverage before committing to a subscription. Our pricing is transparent and subscription-based, with monthly billing and an annual plan discount of 20% off.

The Smart HS Code Finder uses AI and a curated classification database sourced from official data to help you identify the correct HS codes for your products based on names or descriptions. It generates a structured classification report showing:

  • Top candidate codes with confidence indicators
  • Concise reasoning and references where available
  • Ability to save records for an internal audit trail

Note: This tool supports compliance decision-making but does not guarantee legal classification outcomes.

TariffBase currently covers the three largest import markets: the United States (HTSUS/HTS tariff schedule), the European Union (TARIC Combined Nomenclature), and China (China Customs Tariff). Together, these markets represent over 43% of global imports. We plan to add more countries over time.

Tariff classification is the process of assigning the correct Harmonized System (HS) code to a product for customs purposes. The HS code determines the duty rate you pay, whether trade agreements or preferential rates apply, and whether any restrictions or special measures are in effect. Incorrect classification can lead to overpaid duties, shipment delays, or customs penalties.

TariffBase's AI-powered HS Code Finder uses a combination of machine learning and official classification databases to provide accurate results with confidence scores. Each result includes a classification report with reasoning, so you can review and verify the suggested codes. The tool is designed to support compliance decisions -- for binding rulings, consult your customs authority.
