Checking HTS Risk Codes

Understand Your Product’s Import Risk Level

The HTS Checker helps you understand how CPSC’s Risk Assessment Methodology (RAM 2.0) views your product based on its HTS code.

What Is an HTS Code?

A Harmonized Tariff Schedule code is the 10-digit number that identifies your product for customs. It determines your duty rate, and under RAM 2.0, it also affects your CPSC risk score.

How to Use the Checker

Enter your HTS code (or search by product description) and we’ll show you the risk level, whether the code triggers automatic CPSC review, and which testing standards are typically required.

Understanding RAM 2.0 Scores

• Low risk (0–30): Standard processing. Minimal inspection likelihood.
• Medium risk (31–60): May face additional document requests.
• High risk (61–100): Expect inspections, lab testing holds, or exam orders.

If your HTS code is flagged, consider using the Disclaimer Bot to see if you qualify for an exemption, or upload a lab report to strengthen your compliance profile.
