The Customs Tariff is the schedule to the Customs Tariff Act. It classifies every good imported into Canada under a 10-digit number and gives it a duty rate for each tariff treatment. The Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA) publishes a consolidated edition every year: the 2026 edition has applied since January 1, 2026.

The printed schedule is not the whole story: during the year, orders published in the Canada Gazette add surtaxes, remissions and tariff rate quotas. The rate actually paid on a given day can therefore differ from the consolidated tariff — which is what TariffCalc tracks.

How a 10-digit tariff number is built

Chapter (2 digits) — 99 chapters grouped into 21 sections; chapter 77 is reserved.
Heading (4 digits) — a product family within the chapter.
Subheading (6 digits) — the last level shared by every country using the Harmonized System.
Tariff item (8 digits) — Canada-specific: this is the level that sets the duty rate.
Statistical suffix (10 digits) — required on the customs declaration, with no effect on the rate.

Tariff treatments

Each number carries several rates. The Most-Favoured-Nation (MFN) rate is the default. A preferential rate, often zero, applies when the goods originate in a free trade partner and proof of origin is provided. The General Tariff, much higher, applies to the few countries not entitled to MFN.

Frequently asked questions

What is the Canadian Customs Tariff 2026?

It is the schedule to the Customs Tariff Act: the list of every good that can be imported into Canada, with its 10-digit classification number and the duty rate under each tariff treatment. CBSA publishes a consolidated edition every year; the 2026 edition has applied since January 1, 2026, and it is amended during the year by orders published in the Canada Gazette.

HS code or HTS code: what is the difference in Canada?

"HTS" (Harmonized Tariff Schedule) is the name of the US tariff. In Canada the schedule is the Customs Tariff and the codes are HS codes. Both share the first 6 digits of the Harmonized System; the digits after that are national, so a US HTS code cannot be used as is on a Canadian declaration.

How many digits is a Canadian tariff classification number?

Ten. The first 6 are the international HS subheading, digits 7 and 8 make the Canadian tariff item that sets the rate, and digits 9 and 10 are the statistical suffix required on the customs declaration.

Is the Customs Tariff rate the only thing I pay?

No. Depending on origin and product, surtaxes, anti-dumping or countervailing duties (SIMA) and excise may apply, then 5% GST on the duty-paid value. The calculator adds all of it up for a given code and origin.
