Historical reciprocal tariff for SY-origin goods

A historical reciprocal tariff is an additional U.S. import measure that was designed to address differences between U.S. and foreign trade treatment. “SY-origin goods” means goods whose country of origin is SY under the applicable origin rules—not necessarily goods shipped from SY. “IEEPA” refers to the International Emergency Economic Powers Act, a legal authority used for certain U.S. economic measures. The official measure record controls the scope, timing, and any applicable exceptions.

This type of measure typically affects importers of covered goods from the named origin during the period in which the measure applied. It may be collected in addition to the normal customs duty and other import charges, so it can affect landed cost, pricing, cash flow, and entry filing. Importers should distinguish the measure’s additional duty from the product’s normal tariff classification and verify whether the measure is historical, currently effective, suspended, or otherwise limited.

What to check

• Confirm the product’s tariff classification (HTSUS subheading) and country of origin; shipment location alone does not establish origin.
• Read the official measure record for its effective period, covered origins, product scope, exclusions, and any special entry instructions.
• Check whether the measure is an additional duty or other trade action applied on top of the normal HTSUS duty and fees.
• Review entry records and customs data for the relevant period to determine whether the correct reporting and payment treatment was used.
• Ask a licensed customs broker or trade counsel to review uncertain origin, classification, scope, or historical correction issues.
