Tariff Monitoring
Automatic alerts when duty rates change for HS codes in your catalog. Pro plan and above.
How monitoring works
Dutiable periodically checks the EU TARIC, US HTS, and UK Global Tariff databases for changes to the HS codes in your catalog. When a duty rate changes or a code is amended, an alert is generated and you are notified based on your notification preferences.
Monitoring is personalized — only HS codes from products in your catalog are watched. You will not receive alerts for codes unrelated to your products.
What triggers an alert
duty_changeCriticalA duty rate changed — e.g. from 3.7% to 7.5%. Directly affects your landed cost calculations.
code_changeCriticalThe HS code itself was amended. Your existing classifications may need updating.
new_codeMinorA new subheading was introduced that may be more specific than your current classification.
Alert notifications
Alerts appear in the Monitoring dashboard. You can also configure delivery channels:
Configurable in Settings → Notifications. Options: immediately (each change triggers an email), daily digest, or weekly digest.
Slack (Business plan)
Connect an incoming Slack webhook in Settings → Business Workspace. A message is posted for every critical alert. Use the Send test button to verify the webhook is working before your next tariff change.
REST API (Business plan)
Poll GET /api/v1/alerts to retrieve current alerts and tracked product statuses programmatically.
Monitored products
The Monitoring dashboard shows two things:
Active alerts
Products with recent tariff changes. Each alert shows the market (EU/US/UK), the change type, the old and new duty rate, and when it was detected.
Tracked products
All products in your catalog that have an HS code. Status is either current (no changes detected), changed (alert exists), or review (confidence was below 85% when classified).
Pro plan requirement
Tariff monitoring is available on the Pro plan and above. Free users can classify products and view their catalog, but will not receive alerts. Upgrade from the pricing page or from the Monitoring dashboard when you are ready.
