Outil CARM Bond

Screen Your HTS Codes Against Active U.S. Tariffs
Built for anyone importing into the U.S. who needs a fast read on tariff exposure. Drop in your HTS codes and country of origin, and the tool cross-references them against our maintained list of Section 301, 232, and 338 trade actions. For anything that matches, you'll see the authority behind it, the effective date, and the duty rate before and after, when that's published.
How it works

Getting a result

Select your country of origin
Origin determines measures; Section 338 affects Canadian goods.
Paste your HTS codes
One per line, or separated by commas. Up to 10 codes without an account.
Run the check
See which codes are flagged, which aren't, and the authority behind each match.

What comes back

Every match includes a description in plain language, the specific action responsible, its effective date, and the rate shift where the data exists. Nothing gets silently dropped, codes with no match still show up in your results so you can confirm they were actually checked.

This tool answers one question: is this code affected, and by what. For total landed cost, that's what our Duty & Tax Calculator is for. And if you want a second opinion on whether a code is classified correctly to begin with, our HTS Code Lookup tool handles that.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

What exactly does this check?

Your HTS codes against every active Section 301, 232, and 338 measure we track, plus anything recently announced. Right now that includes the Section 301 forced-labor tariffs from Jul 24, 2026, and the Section 338 tariffs on Canadian-origin goods scheduled for Aug 19, 2026.

What's covered under each authority?

Section 301 is the U.S.'s go-to tool for tariffing countries over trade practices it considers unfair. Its use against China dates to 2018 and those duties are still in effect. Its footprint grew substantially in 2026: once the IEEPA tariffs were invalidated by the Supreme Court, Section 301 picked up the slack, now covering close to 60 countries under forced-labor-related tariffs at 10% (countries with a U.S. trade agreement) or 12.5% (countries without), as of this July. Some rates stack on top of standard MFN duty, others calculate net of it, which is why the interaction between measures matters as much as any single number.

Section 232 tariffs are justified on national security grounds and mostly hit steel, aluminum, copper, autos, and their derivative parts.

Section 338 is a rarely used Tariff Act of 1930 provision that authorizes duties up to 50% against a country found to discriminate against U.S. commerce. It hadn't been invoked in decades before three Jul 20, 2026 proclamations applied it to a broad range of Canadian goods, effective Aug 19. One wrinkle: USMCA/CUSMA status doesn't shield a product here, coverage depends entirely on the HTS code, not the certificate of origin. Codes with Canadian origin get checked against this automatically.

Section 122 is a balance-of-payments authority that permitted a flat, economy-wide surcharge up to 15%, limited to 150 days without Congressional extension. It bridged the gap after IEEPA was struck down, running Feb 24 through Jul 24, 2026, before Section 301 took over. We keep the explanation here for reference, it's not currently charged.

What about exclusions?

Most measures carve out exceptions, transit-period shipments, donations, specific product categories, or for the Canada action, things like energy, potash, and goods already under Section 232. Where a published exclusion exists, we surface it with the relevant HTS heading and source. Whether it applies to your shipment specifically is worth confirming, either with your broker or through our HTS Code Lookup tool.

How fresh is the data? 

Updated as new measures publish. Big announcement in the news? Check back or just rerun your codes.

Will this tell me what I owe? 

Not the total. Just the rate change per code. Pair it with the Duty & Tax Calculator for the full number.

Is this a legal opinion?

No, it's a starting point. Anything tied to a real shipment should go through a trade expert.

Nothing got flagged, does that mean I'm clear?

It means nothing on your list matched our current data. We still show every code so you know it was actually checked, not skipped.
