A range means the 10-digit lines under that 8-digit line resolve differently. "+" marks a line with a per-unit duty component the percentage does not capture. "*" marks lines the engine could not price. Chapter 99 headings beneath a rate are the additional-duty provisions applied. AD/CVD, quota, and the regimes listed under "Not included" are not in these numbers.

Trade-agreement preferences
Lines in this heading print a preferential rate for goods that qualify under these programs. The special column above shows which program codes each line carries. Qualification is a fact about the goods (rules of origin, certification on file), not about the country they shipped from.

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:
- Section 232Section 232 metals note 16(c)(ix)/(x) equipment-class ladder (headings 9903.82.07/.08/.10/.11/.12, for classes like 8457/8428/8432/8415.10.60): a good here is a Section 232 derivative when at least 15% of its weight is the covered metal (steel or aluminum). If so, apply heading 9903.82.10 with the 'Section 232 derivative' claim (the additional duty tops the column-1 rate up to 15% total), which from 2026-07-24 also removes the forced-labor 301 duty under 9903.05.90 (note 52(f)). Origin-specific headings (9903.82.12 for GN 3(b) countries, 9903.82.17 for Russia) and capped ag/industrial-use headings (9903.82.23 to .26, including a 10% tier that needs at least 85% U.S. melt) are not computed and may apply instead. Verify melt-and-pour, metal content and end use. Goods actually under this §232 regime are likewise exempt from the Brazil 301 25% (9903.05.07, BR origin, from 2026-07-22) and the Canada §338 50% (9903.03.15, CA origin, from 2026-08-19): any such line shown for them overstates; verify.

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.
