Schedule B numbers for US exports

Independent site, not a government agency or a customs broker. General information, not legal advice or customs advice.

The number for goods leaving the US, how it relates to the import tariff, and where to find it.

A Schedule B number is the code for goods exported from the United States, published by the US Census Bureau for trade statistics. The Census Bureau’s Schedule B page calls it the export commodity code, and offers a search tool, a book by year from 1990 onward, concordance files and lists of obsolete codes. It says that the tool exists to help exporters and filers give more accurate statistics. So this is a statistics number, and the page we read gives no duty rate. This site does not reproduce the Schedule B book. Its tables show the import tariff, which is a good place to start for the first six digits, since the international part of a code is shared. Past those digits, read the Census Bureau’s own lines. We did not read the Foreign Trade Regulations for this page, so we state no rule on when an export filing is required or which filings may use an HTS number. Read on November 2, 2026.

Import tariff and export schedule, side by side

The two are built on the same six digits, and they serve different purposes: the HTS for duty and statistics on imports, Schedule B for statistics on exports. Coffee shows the idea: the search above lists US import lines under 0901, where roasted, not decaffeinated coffee is 0901.21.00. An exporter of roasted coffee would look for the same family in Schedule B, then read its own detail lines.

The steps

  1. Name the good by material and function.
  2. Search it on the Census Bureau’s page, which we link above.
  3. Check the wording of the ten-digit line against the good.
  4. Keep a record of how you reached that number.
  5. Pass the first six digits to the buyer, and let the buyer confirm them.

This site’s focus

This site is about imports. Its lookup covers the US import tariff and not Schedule B. See how the three systems relate.

Questions importers ask

Which year of Schedule B should I read?

The Census Bureau publishes the book by year, with 2026 at the top on the day we read it, and it lists obsolete codes for January and July of past years. It asks readers to check back, because files change. Read the current book and the list of obsolete codes before you reuse an old number. We state no filing rule here, as we did not read those regulations.

Can I use an HTS code instead of Schedule B on export papers?

We did not read the Foreign Trade Regulations for this page, so we do not answer that here. The Census Bureau publishes concordance files between export and import codes, which show how the two systems line up. Read its regulation pages, or ask your forwarder, for your shipment. A wrong number passes bad data on to everyone who relies on it, including your buyer.

Does a foreign buyer use my Schedule B number?

A country’s customs applies its own tariff, as the US does for imports, so your number is at best a place to start for the first six digits. Share them with a clear description of the goods, and ask the buyer to check them. This site covers only US imports, so it cannot confirm what another country’s customs will decide about your goods.
