TariffsChart is a public tariff research site for importers, Amazon sellers, Shopify merchants, and operators who need a faster way to estimate import cost before ordering inventory.
The site combines four practical tools:
- Country tariff-rate pages for current and historical comparison.
- HS / HTS lookup for source-backed U.S. tariff references.
- A free landed-cost calculator for planning duty, fees, and margin.
- A Tariff Tracker that follows current U.S. tariff policy notices.
It is not a customs broker, law firm, tax advisor, government database, or filing product. The goal is simple: help you find the right official sources, understand the cost layers, and ask better final-review questions before money is committed.
Why we built it
Importers do not usually lose money because they cannot multiply a duty rate by a shipment value. They lose money because one tariff layer was missing from the model.
Common examples:
- A seller knows the MFN base duty but forgets Section 301.
- A buyer compares China and Vietnam but ignores manufacturing-cost differences.
- A team sees a country-level average tariff and treats it like a product-specific quote.
- A product has a plausible HS code but no source URL, version date, or retrieval date.
- A policy notice changes, but the old spreadsheet keeps driving prices.
TariffsChart was built to make those layers visible. A tariff estimate should show what is sourced, what is modeled, and what still needs review.
What you can do today
Compare tariff rates by country. The country-rate pages combine World Bank / WITS historical indicators with selected WTO HS6 recent schedule samples for high-intent countries and products. They are useful for broad sourcing questions such as "is Vietnam generally lower than China for this product family?"
Look up HS / HTS references. The HS lookup surfaces verified U.S. HTS rows when source-backed data is available. Detail pages show the base HTS field, source URL, retrieval date, confidence state, and related codes.
Estimate landed cost. The calculator models dutiable value, base duty, additional tariff, import tax, fixed fees, unit cost, and suggested price. It is a planning tool, not a final filing calculation.
Track current policy. The Tariff Tracker follows source-backed Federal Register and trade-policy records. It is designed to answer "what changed recently?" rather than pretend every tariff layer can be reduced to one live number.
Request a Quick Check. If you want a human-prepared planning summary for one product and route, the optional $29 Import Duty Quick Check can organize source links, likely duty layers to review, and open questions for your broker or advisor.
What TariffsChart deliberately does not do
TariffsChart does not automatically classify goods for customs filing. Classification depends on product facts, legal notes, rulings, materials, use case, and sometimes lab or engineering details.
TariffsChart does not decide final origin, valuation, admissibility, AD/CVD scope, exclusion eligibility, or preference-program qualification. Those decisions can require a licensed customs broker, trade counsel, official ruling, or direct review of customs rules.
TariffsChart also does not promise a complete global tariff book. Some pages have deep verified data; others show country-level indicators, official-source links, and "needs review" states. That is intentional. A missing or uncertain result is safer than a confident guess.
Who should use it
TariffsChart is most useful for:
- Amazon and Shopify sellers checking whether a product can survive U.S. import duties.
- Importers comparing China, Vietnam, Mexico, India, Canada, and other sourcing routes.
- Operators who need a quick landed-cost estimate before approving a purchase order.
- Content researchers and analysts looking for source-backed tariff-policy pages.
- Teams preparing questions for a customs broker or trade advisor.
If you already have an enterprise global trade management platform and an internal trade-compliance team, TariffsChart may be too lightweight. If you are still using spreadsheets, supplier guesses, or generic duty calculators without source dates, it can help.
