Batch HS code lookup tool for US HTS and CBSA

US HTS · Canada CBSA · batch CSV · Instant Lookup · Free Audit

Manual USITC lookups do not scale to a Shopify catalog. This page is the merchant path for a batch HS code lookup tool for US HTS and CBSA: preview one SKU free, audit gaps, then classify and export in bulk with Jstars AI HS Code Classifier.

Single lookup vs batch classification

• Single — Homepage Instant HS Lookup: title (+ optional description / existing code). Ideal for testing a hero SKU or a supplier’s 6-digit guess.
• Batch — Free workspace or Shopify app: CSV import (up to 500 data rows per file), classify against monthly quota, export for brokers.
• Gap scan — Free Catalog Audit before you spend classifications on already-complete SKUs.

Why batch both US HTS and CBSA

US-first brands expanding to Canada (or Canadian brands selling south) cannot reuse one 10-digit string. HTS and CBSA share six digits and diverge nationally. Batch tools that only emit US lines create silent Canada errors. Jstars generates market modes: US only, CA only, CA + US, or CA + US + CN — so batch jobs match how you ship.

Variant-heavy apparel and accessories catalogs are the usual failure mode: identical titles, different composition, different national lines. Batch classification with reviewable reasoning beats copy-paste from last season’s sheet — especially after 2026 HTS revisions.

Recommended batch workflow

1. Run Free Catalog Audit or export products; list SKUs missing HTS/CBSA.
2. Spot-check 3–5 titles on Instant HS Lookup.
3. Sign in at /web/login?welcome=1 — passwordless OTP, no credit card.
4. Import CSV or sync catalog; classify top international revenue first (Free = 20/month).
5. Review flagged rows; export CSV; write codes to Shopify / carrier fields.
6. Re-run after HTS/CBSA schedule updates or large catalog adds.

FAQ

Can I batch Canada and US in one pass?

Yes — choose CA + US mode so you are not pasting HTS into CBSA fields.

Is there a CSV row limit?

Web Classify accepts up to 500 data rows per import file. Split larger catalogs.

Do I need login for Instant Lookup?

No. Login is only for catalog sync, batch CSV, and saved workspace results.

US HTS revisions and stale batch sheets

HTS schedules are living documents. A batch file that was “done” in 2024 can still be structurally valid yet carry different 2026 duty outcomes. After revision news, re-audit chapters you sell heavily (apparel, footwear, accessories are common) and re-classify affected SKUs. Pair this page with our US tariffs 2026 checklist.

CBSA batch mistakes to avoid

• Using HTS as a drop-in CBSA code
• Leaving Canada Markets on a generic 6-digit
• Updating only the hero variant and ignoring fabric-different siblings
• Never re-checking after a supplier composition change

Throughput tips on Free vs paid

On Free (20/month), classify the SKUs that drive international revenue first. Use Instant Lookup for one-off PDPs. When the audit shows hundreds of gaps, Starter (250) or Growth (2,500) is usually the ROI break-even versus a weekend of manual research — especially before a Markets launch.
