Not included in the numbers above
Antidumping and countervailing duties, tariff-rate quotas, and partner-agency requirements are never in these rates. The engine also flags regimes it knows about but does not compute for this heading:
No unmodeled regime in the current measures bundle touches heading 8205. That is not a statement that no AD/CVD order exists for these goods: check the Commerce Department's orders for the specific product and origin before relying on a landed cost.

How this page is built
The rate lines are the USITC 2026 HTS Revision 17 export, unedited. The all-in rates come from the Borderless tariff engine (the same code behind the tariff simulator), run for each 8-digit line and origin with an entry date of 2026-09-02; its measures bundle is dated 2026-08-21and cites the Federal Register and CBP notices behind every layer. Page generated 2026-09-02. These are estimates for planning, not classification advice or a filing: the classification of your goods, the origin determination, and any claim are confirmed by a licensed broker before an entry is filed. Maintained by Borderless CHB; Joy Xue, Licensed U.S. customs broker (CBP filer code NQR), confirms the classification and the duty stack on every entry before it is filed.
