To calculate the import duty rate for a particular item, you will need to know the classification of the item, which is based on the description of the item and the country of origin. To calculate the import duty rate for a specific item, you will need to refer to the HTS. The HTS is available online and can be searched using keywords or using the HTS code of the item. Once you have located the item, you can then look up the duty rate associated with it.
