Historical reciprocal tariff for PG-origin goods

A historical reciprocal tariff is an additional U.S. import measure based on the declared origin of the goods and the trading relationship involved. “IEEPA” refers to the International Emergency Economic Powers Act, the legal authority used for certain emergency-based economic measures. “PG-origin” should be read as a product-origin category defined by the applicable official tariff data, not automatically as the seller’s location or the shipping route.

This type of measure typically affects importers bringing covered goods into the United States when the goods meet the specified origin, product classification, and time or transaction conditions. It matters because the measure may be collected in addition to ordinary customs duty and may affect landed cost, customs entry reporting, and documentation. Because this is a historical measure, confirm whether it applies to the entry’s relevant date and whether later instructions, exclusions, or amendments changed its treatment.

What to check

• Confirm the goods’ country of origin using U.S. origin rules; do not rely only on the ship-from country or the seller’s address.
• Verify the complete HTSUS classification and check whether the official measure lists that tariff provision or product description.
• Check the measure’s status, effective period, and any exclusions, amendments, or date-specific rules against current official sources.
• Determine whether the measure is an additional duty or another import requirement, and confirm how it must be reported on the entry.
• Keep origin records, commercial documents, classification support, and any exclusion or eligibility evidence; ask a licensed customs broker about uncertain cases.
