Historical reciprocal tariff for NR-origin goods

A “historical reciprocal tariff for NR-origin goods” is a trade measure associated with the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (IEEPA). In general, a reciprocal tariff is an additional import charge intended to respond to trade conditions involving the exporting country or origin. “NR-origin” is a data label whose exact meaning must be confirmed in the official measure or tariff database; do not assume it identifies a particular country or product group.

This type of measure typically affects goods entering the United States when their country of origin, tariff classification, and entry date match the measure’s scope. It matters because the charge may be added on top of ordinary customs duty and other applicable fees. The key professional terms to review are country of origin, Harmonized Tariff Schedule (HTS) classification, additional duty, effective period, and entry requirements. Because IEEPA measures can have detailed exceptions and conditions, a customs broker or trade specialist should review uncertain cases.

What to check

• Confirm what “NR-origin” means in the official measure and identify the product’s legally determined country of origin.
• Verify the complete HTSUS classification, including any required statistical suffix, against the measure’s product scope.
• Check the measure’s effective period and the relevant entry, withdrawal, or export dates used for application.
• Look for exclusions, exemptions, quota rules, and interaction with other additional duties before calculating landed cost.
• Have a customs broker or qualified trade professional review the entry if origin, classification, or measure applicability is uncertain.
