- ✕Not checking for FTA preferential rates that may reduce the applied rate below MFN
Frequently Asked Questions

The first 6 digits of HS codes are harmonized globally by the World Customs Organization. However, countries add additional digits (8-10 total) for national classification, and duty rates vary entirely by country.
Which country has the lowest average tariff rates?
Singapore and Hong Kong have 0% tariffs on nearly all goods. Among larger economies, the US (3.4% average), EU (5.1%), and Japan (4.2%) have relatively low average applied rates. Developing countries average 10-20%.
