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.
