An HS (Harmonized System) code is a standardised 6-digit number used worldwide to classify traded products for customs purposes. Australia uses the HS to determine import duty rates, GST treatment, and biosecurity requirements.

How do I find the HS code for my product?

Search by keyword or product description in the tool above, or describe your product in plain language to the AI assistant. Both search the official HS2022 database of over 5,600 tariff codes.

Is this HS code lookup free?

Yes, the HS code lookup and AI assistant are free to use with no registration required.

Is the AI-suggested HS code guaranteed to be correct?

The AI assistant only recommends codes that exist in the official HS2022 database — it does not invent codes. However, final tariff classification can depend on product specifics, so always confirm with a licensed customs broker before lodging an import declaration.

Prepare the information needed for HS-code research

An HS-code search helps you investigate possible classifications using a product description or code. The product’s composition, function and degree of manufacture can matter more than its marketing name. Search results and automated suggestions are starting points for review.

Describe the actual goods

Collect the material composition, primary function, intended use and relevant technical characteristics. Explain whether the goods are complete, unfinished, a part, a set or a mixture. Use manufacturer documentation where available rather than relying on a short catalogue title.

Describe the actual goods

Read the surrounding classification

Review the heading and subheading descriptions as well as the individual result. Similar products can fall under different classifications when their materials or functions differ. Country-specific tariff extensions and treatment need to be checked for the importing jurisdiction.

Read the surrounding classification

Keep classification and costing separate

An indicative code does not establish the final duty, tax, permit or documentation requirements for a transaction. Confirm the classification and applicable treatment with a qualified professional or the relevant authority before relying on it for a declaration or final landed-cost decision.

Questions before you proceed

Can an AI suggestion confirm the final code?

No. Use an automated suggestion to narrow your research, then verify it against the actual goods and the rules relevant to the importing country.

What should I provide when asking for help?

Provide a clear description, material composition, intended function, photographs and available technical documents. Explain any features that distinguish the product from similar goods.
