Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTS)

A comprehensive list of product categories used by the U.S. government to classify imported goods and determine the duties (taxes) that apply to them.

Subheading

A specific code within the Harmonized Tariff Schedule that identifies a particular category of goods. An 8-digit subheading provides a broad classification, while a 10-digit subheading (including 'statistical suffixes') provides more detailed information for data collection.

Duty

A tax levied by a government on imported goods. Sometimes called a tariff.

Statistical Suffix

Additional numbers added to a tariff subheading (e.g., beyond 8 digits) to allow for more specific data collection on trade without changing the actual duty rate.

Free (Duty Rate)

Indicates that no import tax is charged on goods falling under that specific classification, typically for goods from countries with Most Favored Nation (MFN) status.

Proof Liter (pf liter)

A measure of alcohol content. A proof liter is a liter of liquid containing 50% alcohol by volume, used to calculate excise taxes on alcoholic beverages.
