Canadian Tariff Code Structure
Harmonized System (HS)
Every product imported into Canada is assigned a 10-digit tariff classification code based on the Harmonized System. The first 6 digits follow the international WCO standard used by over 200 countries.
Tariff Item Extensions
Canada adds 4 more digits to the 6-digit base to define specific duty rates and trade agreement eligibility. The CBSA Customs Tariff Schedule lists every code with its MFN rate and preferential treatments.
Most Favoured Nation
MFN rates apply by default to imports from WTO member countries. Preferential rates under agreements like CUSMA, CETA, and CPTPP can reduce duties to zero for qualifying goods.
Risk & Penalties (AMPS)
Incorrect HS codes can mean overpaying duties, facing CBSA penalties under the Administrative Monetary Penalty System (AMPS), or having shipments held. Accurate classification keeps goods moving.
Canadian Trade Agreements
Canada maintains preferential tariff treatments under multiple free trade agreements. Importers can claim reduced or zero duty rates instead of standard MFN.
Origin AssistanceCUSMA / USMCA
Canada-US-Mexico. Covers originating goods. Most industrial and agricultural items qualify for duty-free entry.
CETA
Canada-EU. Eliminates tariffs on most goods traded between Canada and EU member states.
CPTPP
Trans-Pacific Partnership. Covers Pacific Rim countries including Japan, Australia, and Vietnam.
GPT & Bilateral
General Preferential Tariff for developing countries, plus bilateral agreements with South Korea, Ukraine, and others.
Note: This tool shows preferential rates alongside MFN. Rates matching MFN are filtered as they offer no actual preference.
