Where to check the duty rate

Six digits is the internationally shared part. Every destination extends it with its own digits, and that extension is where the rate is set. Copy a code above, then open the schedule you are filing into.

  • United States

    USITC Harmonized Tariff Schedule · 10 digits

  • European Union

    Access2Markets · 10 digits

    Access2Markets needs your origin country as well as the destination, so enter both there. The Combined Nomenclature runs to 8 digits and TARIC extends it to 10.

  • United Kingdom

    UK Integrated Trade Tariff · 10 digits

  • Canada

    Canada Tariff Finder

  • China

    General Administration of Customs

  • Australia

    Australian Border Force current tariff

    Published as a schedule per chapter. Chapter 87 covers vehicles, chapter 84 covers machinery.

  • Malaysia

    Royal Malaysian Customs Department

  • United Arab Emirates

    Dubai Customs

    Applies the GCC Common Customs Tariff, shared with Saudi Arabia.

  • Saudi Arabia

    GCC Common Customs Tariff

    Saudi Arabia applies the GCC Common Customs Tariff, shared with the UAE.

No duty rates are shown here. Rates depend on the origin and destination pair and change with trade measures, so the only correct rate is the one in your destination's own schedule.

What the six digits give you, and what they do not

The first six digits are set by the World Customs Organization and are the same in every member country. That is what this lookup returns. It is enough to talk to a carrier, pre-classify a booking, or check whether two shipments are the same commodity.

It is not enough to file. Every country extends the six digits with its own detail, and that extension is where the duty rate is decided. The lookup shows what drives those extra digits for each heading, whether that is engine displacement, gross vehicle weight, or propulsion type, so you know what specification to confirm before the declaration goes in.

One distinction catches RoRo shipments repeatedly: not everything that drives onto a vessel is a vehicle for tariff purposes. Excavators, forklifts, harvesters, and similar plant sit in chapter 84 as machinery, not chapter 87, even when they roll aboard under their own power. Classifying a wheeled excavator as a vehicle is a reclassification waiting to happen.
