Tariff Check
Look up duty rates, Section 301/232 add-ons, IEEPA duties, and trade agreement preferences for any HTS code and country pairing.
What is this feature?
Tariff Check returns the full duty picture for an HTS code: MFN rate, Section 301/232 surcharges, IEEPA duties, AD/CVD orders, FTA preferences, and quota status — for any country pairing. Use it to price imports, evaluate sourcing alternatives, and confirm preferential eligibility before you commit.
When should I use it?
- Pricing a new import or quoting landed cost
- Evaluating sourcing alternatives across countries
- Confirming whether a USMCA/FTA preference applies
- Checking for active anti-dumping or countervailing duty orders

Common Issues & FAQs
Why is my Section 301 rate higher than expected?
Section 301 surcharges apply on top of MFN — BITE shows the stacked total. Check the HTS exclusion list for relief.
How do I claim an FTA preference?
BITE indicates eligibility; you still need a valid certificate of origin and qualifying rules-of-origin documentation.
Are rates real-time?
Yes — BITE syncs with USITC, USTR, and Federal Register publications.
