The AI customs & import-duty engine

Classify any product. See the real duty. Cost the whole shipment.

Describe a product, get its HS/HTS code with the reasoning, look up the real US rate — Section 301, 232 and 2025–26 tariffs included — and calculate the full landed cost. Sourced figures, never guessed.

Free, no account needed. Or browse HS codes by chapter.

This is an informational estimate, not a customs ruling. Tariffs change frequently — confirm the live rate on the official USITC HTS and read our methodology & disclaimer. For a binding classification, consult a licensed customs broker or request a CBP ruling.

The problem

One wrong HS code means overpaid duty — or a penalty

Tariffs change by the week, and the same product can owe anywhere from Free to 25%+ depending on its exact code and origin. Guess the classification and you either overpay CBP or invite a penalty.

Without PortRobin

Guesswork and stale spreadsheets

You dig through a 4,000-page schedule, miss a Section 301 list, and find out the real number when the broker’s invoice lands — or when CBP flags the entry months later.

With PortRobin

Classify, cost, cited — in seconds

Describe the product, get the code and the real stacked rate with a source, and see the whole landed cost before you commit the order.

How it works

Classify → rate → landed cost → watch

01

Classify

Describe a product in plain English and get its HS/HTS code with the reasoning — grounded in the real tariff schedule, not invented.

02

Look up the rate

See the real general (Column 1) duty rate plus any Section 301 / 232 / 2025 tariff that stacks on it, each with a cited source.

03

Cost the shipment

Get the full landed cost — duty, additional tariffs, MPF, HMF, freight and insurance — as one number you can plan against.

04

Watch for changes

Track the codes and lanes you import and get alerted the moment a tariff on one of them moves.

Built for AI agents too

Classify and cost products from your own agents.

PortRobin is structured for machines as much as people: a public JSON API for classification and landed cost, an MCP server your agents can call directly, an llms.txt, and rich JSON-LD so AI answer engines can cite the same sourced figures a human sees.
