Supplier code sanity check

Supplier HS Code Sanity Check

Before you rely on a supplier HS code, run a second pass against US HTS candidates, tariff exposure, and the product facts a broker would ask for.

Copy-ready prompt

Supplier code: [paste supplier HS code]
Product: [what the item is]
Origin: [country of origin]
Destination: United States
Material/use: [main material, primary use, included parts]
Packaging: [retail kit, set, replacement part, bulk component]

Please sanity-check the US HTS path, tariff exposure, and broker-prep questions.
Important: AI output requires professional review
Moya provides AI-assisted research for U.S. import workflows. Results are not a binding CBP ruling, legal advice, customs brokerage advice, or filing instruction. Verify HTS codes, duties, and compliance requirements with a licensed customs broker or official source before relying on them.

Bring these facts

  • Supplier HS code or tariff code, exactly as provided.
  • Product description from the PO, invoice, catalog, or listing.
  • Country of origin and destination market.
  • Material, primary use, included parts, accessories, and packaging.
  • Any broker, forwarder, Shopify, carrier, or duty-calculator code already suggested.

What Moya checks

Map the supplier code

Treat the supplier code as a clue, then compare it against likely US HTS branches instead of accepting the first six digits blindly.

Look for ruling evidence

Search for CBP ruling patterns, chapter notes, and product facts that support or contradict the candidate path.

Surface tariff exposure

Check Section 301, Section 232, IEEPA-style additional tariff signals, and visible rate caveats where data supports them.

Prepare broker questions

Return the missing facts and review questions a broker or internal compliance reviewer would need before filing.

Use this when

  • New SKU review before placing a PO.
  • Supplier HS code looks suspicious or too generic.
  • Shopify, carrier, or landed-cost calculator output does not match expectations.
  • Reorder margin changed after tariff or origin assumptions shifted.

Not for

  • You need a binding ruling or legal conclusion.
  • You already have a licensed broker filing the entry and need filing instructions.
  • You need a checkout duty collection app or shipping-label integration.

Turn the supplier code into a review packet

Start with one real product. Moya will help organize the likely US HTS path, visible tariff signals, evidence trail, and questions to verify before broker review.
