Every country publishes its tariff schedule online. Here is a directory of the official lookup sites importers use.

Why use the official site

Government tariff databases give the legally current rate, including VAT/GST, trade-agreement preferences, and anti-dumping measures - more reliable than third-party estimators.

Major official tariff databases

Region / Country	Official site	Notes
European Union	TARIC (ec.europa.eu/taxation_customs)	Includes VAT, anti-dumping, quotas

What you typically need

The HS code (at least 6 digits; more digits = more precise)
The country of origin (affects preferential rates)
The product description to confirm classification

Caveats

Rates shown are usually the duty line only - add VAT/GST and fees
Trade-remedy measures (anti-dumping) may override the base rate
Some countries require registration to see full data

Use these sites to estimate, but confirm the final 10-digit classification and total landed cost with a licensed broker before committing to a shipment.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is there one global tariff site?

No single site covers all countries; the WCO provides the HS framework, but each customs authority publishes its own schedule.

Do these sites include VAT?

The EU TARIC and Australia ABF include VAT/GST; some show duty only. Check each.

Are rates the same as what I pay?

They are the duty line; total cost also includes taxes, fees, and any trade-remedy surcharges.
