Historical reciprocal tariff for DZ-origin goods

A historical reciprocal tariff is an additional U.S. import measure that was designed to respond to the treatment of U.S. goods by another country. “DZ-origin” refers to goods whose country of origin is Algeria under the relevant trade-data code. “IEEPA” is the International Emergency Economic Powers Act, a U.S. law that can authorize certain economic measures during a declared national emergency. Because this measure is labeled historical, do not assume it is currently collectible; verify its status and effective period in the official tariff or government source.

The measure typically affects importers entering covered goods into the United States when the goods meet the specified country-of-origin and product-classification conditions. It matters because an additional duty, if applicable, can change the landed cost and may require separate reporting from the ordinary customs duty. Applicability depends on details such as the HTSUS classification, origin determination, entry date, exclusions, and any suspension or termination notices. A customs broker or trade professional should review uncertain cases.

What to check

• Confirm whether the measure is active, historical, suspended, or terminated for the planned entry date using an official U.S. source.
• Verify the product’s HTSUS classification; do not rely only on a product description, SKU, or supplier’s tariff code.
• Determine country of origin under U.S. customs rules and distinguish origin from the shipping country or supplier location.
• Check the measure’s scope, exclusions, quota treatment, and any required reporting instructions for the exact HTSUS provision.
• Ask a customs broker or trade counsel to review ambiguous classification, origin, valuation, or entry-date issues before filing.
