Read directly from the server with tools/list, grouped by what they act on.
If a tool disappears, we record the date.
duty
duty_passport
Candidate HTS headings for a consumer product category, pulled daily from the official USITC HTS REST API: the candidate line, its general rate, every rated line in the heading, and the Section 301 status to verify on USTR. These are candidates chosen by category reading, not a classification ruling — the importer of record classifies.
duty_stack_rules
The current China→US import duty stack, rule by rule, each with the record that establishes it and the date it was decided or published: HTS base rate, Section 301, Section 232, the struck-down IEEPA tariffs (2026-02-20), the indefinite de minimis suspension (2026-06-24), the expired postal flat rate (2026-02-28), and the MPF/HMF fee rates. Use this before quoting any US import rule from memory — the 2025 guidance that dominates training data is superseded.
import
check_import_claim
Fact-check a circulating claim about US import duties against the dated official record. Returns a verdict, why, and the sources. Covers the four figures still repeated everywhere in 2026: the $800 de minimis exemption, the $80–$200 postal flat duty, the ~54%/$100 courier rule, and 'reciprocal' baseline tariffs. Use this when a user quotes a number for US imports.
import_rule_changes
What changed in the general US import rules, newest first, from the official Federal Register API: presidential tariff actions, CBP and DHS rules, USTR notices — each with its publication date, document number and federalregister.gov link. Use `since` to get only what is new to you, the same way you would poll a changelog. Case-specific antidumping, ITC and Foreign-Trade Zone paperwork is out of scope by design and the response says so.
classification
classification_rulings
Search CBP's own binding classification rulings (CROSS) for a product in plain words and get what CBP actually decided: ruling number, date, subject, the HTS codes it assigned — including any chapter 99 heading, which is what carries a Section 301 addition — and whether the ruling has been revoked or modified. This is precedent from the agency that decides, not a guess: it is how you check whether the code your supplier gave you matches what CBP has ruled on comparable goods. Queried live at call time from rulings.cbp.gov; nothing is mirrored here.
landed
landed_cost
Itemise a US landed cost from rates you supply: duties (HTS base + Section 301 + Section 232 on the customs value), MPF 0.3464% with the CBP floor disclosed, HMF 0.125% on ocean entries, plus freight and insurance. Deterministic arithmetic with the assumptions and sources attached. This tool never invents a product's duty rate: omit hts_base_rate_pct and it refuses and points you at the official schedule.
recall
recall_check
Official US product recalls (CPSC saferproducts.gov API) touching a product category in the last 365 days: date, title, hazard and the cpsc.gov URL. A keyword hit means the words appear in a recall title, not that a particular supplier or SKU is affected. Use before recommending or sourcing a category.
section
section_301_ladder
The Section 301 (China) additional-duty ladder, read straight from the official USITC HTS export of chapter 99 subchapter III: which 9903.88 / 9903.91 heading carries which addition (7.5%, 10%, 15%, 25%, 50%, 100%), which U.S. note defines its list, and — where the schedule states it — the date that heading took effect. It tells you the possible rates and where coverage is defined; it never asserts that a particular HTS8 code is on a list, because that lives in U.S. note 20/31 and the USTR annexes.

How MCP servers expose tools in the first place →

How do I connect Us Import Duty Facts?
Copy the ready config from this page — we generate it for Claude Code, Claude Desktop, Codex, Cursor and VS Code, each with the file path that client actually reads. It is a remote server, so there is nothing to install — the client connects to the address.
Does Us Import Duty Facts need an API key?
No. Us Import Duty Facts completed a full MCP handshake with us as an anonymous client and listed its tools without asking for anything. All 8 of them are readable on this page. This is what we observed, not what the docs claim.
How fast is Us Import Duty Facts?
It answers our handshake in 152 ms on average, which is faster than 87% of all working MCP servers we measure. That puts it in the quick quarter of the ecosystem. The comparison comes from our own checks across the whole registry, every 15 minutes.
