Connects to the US International Trade Commission's Harmonized Tariff Schedule. Helps importers find HTS codes by product name, calculate total tariff rates including base MFN, Section 301 China tariffs, Section 232 steel/aluminum tariffs, and forced-labor tariffs, and compare duty costs across origin countries for sourcing decisions.

Example request: "What's the total US tariff on wireless earbuds from China versus Vietnam, and how much will it cost me annually?"

How to connect: Not in Muse's Connectors list yet, but Muse can still use it. Paste this into Muse: "Use Tariff Monitor to help me. It is a free service with an MCP server at https://adcreator-ai.com/mcp-free. It does not need an API key. Ask me before you share anything with it." Muse asks before it shares anything with the app's site. Meta does not review apps used this way, so only use ones you trust. We tested this in the Muse app on September 24, 2026: Muse used an app's link directly this way and returned a live answer.
