Historical reciprocal tariff for IN-origin goods

A historical reciprocal tariff is an additional U.S. import measure that was applied to goods based on the trading relationship between the United States and the exporting country. “Reciprocal” generally means the measure was intended to respond to tariff or other trade treatment associated with that country. “IEEPA” refers to the International Emergency Economic Powers Act, the legal authority used for certain emergency-related trade actions. The measure’s title indicates the country-of-origin scope; it does not, by itself, identify the rate or whether the measure is currently in effect.

This type of measure typically affects U.S. importers bringing covered goods of the specified country of origin into the United States. The importer of record is generally responsible for declaring the correct tariff classification, origin, and any applicable additional duty at entry. It matters because an additional duty can change landed cost and because eligibility may depend on product-specific exclusions, valuation rules, entry timing, and the measure’s current status. Confirming those details may require official customs guidance or a licensed customs broker’s judgment.

What to check

• Verify the measure’s current status, effective dates, and any suspension, replacement, or termination notices in official U.S. sources.
• Determine the product’s tariff classification under the Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTSUS); do not rely only on a commercial product description.
• Document the product’s country of origin using applicable origin rules, and distinguish origin from the shipping country or country of export.
• Check the measure’s official product scope, exclusions, quota provisions, and any special instructions for reporting an additional tariff line.
• Confirm the customs value, entry type, and filing instructions with official guidance or a qualified customs broker before entry.
