About TariffTracker

TariffTracker is a tariff intelligence platform built for the electronics supply chain — sourcing, procurement, trade compliance, and cost analysis.

Why It Exists

Electronics importers face rapidly changing duty structures across the Harmonized Tariff Schedule, Section 301 actions, Section 232 measures, and global surcharges. Most tariff tools are built for customs brokers and lawyers — slow, expensive, and not designed for the speed of a sourcing decision. TariffTracker was built to make duty exposure visible instantly at the part and BOM level, before a purchase order is placed.

What the Platform Does

Tariff Calculator
Calculate the full U.S. import duty stack for any component or HTS code. Includes MFN duty, Section 301 China tariffs, Section 232 actions, Section 122 surcharges, and MPF/HMF fees.
BOM Analysis
Upload a bill of materials and calculate duty exposure for every line. The system resolves HTS classification, country of origin, and effective duty rates to produce total landed cost estimates.
COO Optimizer
Compare effective duty rates across major electronics sourcing countries to evaluate alternative supply chain strategies.
ECCN Lookup
Identify export control classifications using distributor classification data and export control references. Flags controlled and sensitive components by destination.

How It Works

TariffTracker maintains a structured representation of the U.S. Harmonized Tariff Schedule and applies rule logic for active trade actions including Section 301, Section 232, and Section 122. For part number lookups, the system queries distributor classification databases to resolve HTS codes and country of origin, then applies the full duty stack. For BOM analysis, each row is resolved independently using distributor data, manufacturer reference data, and, where necessary, AI-assisted origin inference for research purposes. Duty stacks are calculated deterministically from authoritative regulatory data sources maintained and updated in the system — not estimated by AI.

Data Sources

  • USITC Harmonized Tariff Schedule — complete 10-digit tariff lines with chapter hierarchy
  • USTR Section 301 tariff actions — Lists 3 and 4A
  • Federal Register trade orders — Section 232 and Section 122
  • CBP fee schedules — MPF and HMF rates
  • Distributor classification datasets — HTS and ECCN per component

TariffTracker aggregates and interprets these sources to provide rapid duty estimation for electronics procurement workflows.

Important Notice

TariffTracker is an estimation and research tool. It does not constitute legal or customs compliance advice. Duty rates and classifications should be verified with CBP, a licensed customs broker, or trade counsel before use in formal customs filings.
