Historical reciprocal tariff for ID-origin goods

A historical reciprocal tariff is an additional U.S. import measure that was designed to address differences in trading conditions between the United States and another country. “ID-origin” refers to goods whose country of origin is Indonesia. “IEEPA” is the International Emergency Economic Powers Act, a U.S. law that can authorize certain import restrictions or additional duties when an emergency has been declared. The title indicates the measure’s subject and legal authority; the official record controls whether it applies and how it operates.

This type of measure typically affects importers of covered Indonesian-origin goods entering the United States, although coverage can depend on the product’s tariff classification, origin rules, entry date, exclusions, and any later amendments or termination. It matters because an additional duty, often called an ad valorem duty when based on customs value, may be collected separately from the ordinary HTSUS duty and other fees. Importers should verify the measure in current official sources and obtain customs-broker or trade-counsel advice when classification, origin, or historical applicability is uncertain.

What to check

• Confirm the product’s correct Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTSUS) classification; do not rely only on a product description or supplier code.
• Determine the product’s country of origin under U.S. customs rules, including whether processing in another country changes the origin determination.
• Check the official measure record for the applicable entry-date rules, scope, exclusions, exemptions, and any amendments or termination notices.
• Review how the additional duty is reported and calculated, and distinguish it from ordinary customs duty, antidumping or countervailing duties, and other import fees.
• Keep invoices, manufacturing records, origin documentation, classification support, and broker instructions; seek qualified customs advice if the measure’s historical status or application is unclear.
