Checked and not applied
- Section 232 auto parts: This HTS code is on the Section 232 automobile-parts list (U.S. note 33(g); CBP CSMS #64913145). If imported as a part of a passenger vehicle or light truck, an additional 25% Section 232 duty applies under HTSUS 9903.94.05, and Section 122 would not stack on top. Goods under this code that are NOT automobile parts, or that qualify for USMCA preference, are entered under 9903.94.06 with no auto-parts duty. Not auto-applied: part identity cannot be determined from the HTS code alone.
Stack priced from China on a $10,000 customs value, ocean entry. Other origins carry different programs; the calculator prices any of them.
