# US Harmonized Tariff Schedule (HTS) number (`us_hts_number`)

> **Draft.** Draft records have not been reviewed yet and may be incomplete or wrong; do not treat them as authoritative for legal or compliance decisions.

Number of the Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTSUS), published by the US International Trade Commission. The first six digits are the HS subheading (hs_code); digits seven and eight make the eight-digit subheading, written 0101.21.00, and a two-digit statistical suffix makes the ten-digit statistical reporting number, written 0101.21.00.10. US Customs rulings often drop the last dot (6110.20.2079). The regexp requires the dots, because ten digits without them cannot be told from other codes.
