Sanctions & Tariff Lookup MCP Server

Looks up one HTS code (4, 6, 8 or 10 digits, with or without dots) in the current Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States and returns its description, parent hierarchy, general, special (trade program) and column 2 duty rates, units, footnotes, Chapter 99 cross-references and the lines below it.

Searches the descriptions in the current Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (USITC) for product words and returns matching 8- and 10-digit HTS lines with code, description, parent headings, general (column 1) duty rate and unit of quantity. Some everyday terms (for example laptop, drone, e-bike) are mapped to HTS wording, and the mapping is shown in the result.

Screens up to 25 names in one call against the same list mirrors as screen_party (U.S. Consolidated Screening List, UN, UK and, when loaded, EU lists) and returns only the best possible match per name (or no match at the threshold) in compact form, with a summary count.

Screens one person, company, vessel or aircraft name against a mirrored copy of the U.S. Consolidated Screening List (trade.gov), which combines the export screening lists of the Departments of Commerce, State and the Treasury, including OFAC's Specially Designated Nationals (SDN) list and the BIS Entity List, and against mirrored copies of the UN Security Council Consolidated List, the UK Sanctions List (FCDO) and, when loaded, the EU consolidated financial sanctions list. Matches primary names and aliases while tolerating differences in case, accents, punctuation, word order, company suffixes (LLC, Ltd, GmbH, OOO), small typos, common transliterations and added place or office words (a city, a country, "head office", "branch"). Returns ranked possible matches with score, matched alias, list, programs, entity type, addresses, countries, IDs, a link to the official entry or list and the list's as-of date, or a no-match result at the chosen threshold.

Computes the same duty total as duty_stack for one 8- or 10-digit HTS line across up to 30 countries of origin and returns them sorted from the lowest total, each with its base rate, the Chapter 99 headings applied and the number of open questions. Without "origins" it compares 20 large sources of U.S. imports. Each row uses default assumptions (no trade-agreement preference claimed, no special use).

Adds up the U.S. import duty on one 8- or 10-digit HTS line for goods of one country of origin under the current HTS revision: the column 1 (or column 2) rate plus the Chapter 99 additional duties in force that this tool models (Section 232 actions on metals, vehicles and other products, the Section 301 actions on China, Brazil and the 60 economies of the forced-labor action, and the Section 338 duties on Canada). Returns each layer with its Chapter 99 heading, rate and U.S. note, the exemptions it found, the total, the assumptions it made with what changes if an assumption is wrong, measures that are printed in the schedule but not in force, and what is not covered (for example antidumping and countervailing duties). When a question cannot be settled from the code and origin, the result says so and gives a range.

Returns the versions of the mirrored data: each screening dataset (U.S. CSL, UN, UK, EU) with its as-of date, file timestamp, entry count and last update check, each list's name, agency, entry count and as-of date, the current HTS revision, and when the mirror was last built and last checked for updates.
