Historical reciprocal tariff for ID-origin goods

A “historical reciprocal tariff for ID-origin goods” is a trade measure associated with the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (IEEPA). “ID” generally identifies Indonesia, and “origin goods” means products determined under U.S. country-of-origin rules to have been produced or substantially transformed there—not simply shipped from Indonesia. “Reciprocal” generally refers to an additional import charge intended to respond to trade conditions involving the exporting country.

“Historical” indicates that the measure may relate to an earlier period or may no longer apply to current entries. For an importer, the key questions are whether the product falls within the covered tariff classification (HTSUS subheading), whether its country of origin is Indonesia, and whether the relevant entry date, exclusions, exemptions, or other conditions make the measure applicable. An IEEPA measure may be collected as an additional duty separate from the ordinary HTSUS duty, so classification and entry documentation should be reviewed carefully.

What to check

• Confirm the product’s correct HTSUS classification; do not rely only on a supplier’s product description or tariff code.
• Document the product’s country of origin using the applicable substantial-transformation analysis, not merely its shipping location.
• Check the official measure text and current customs guidance for the relevant entry date, effective period, exclusions, exemptions, and filing instructions.
• Determine whether the IEEPA duty is an additional duty and whether it must be reported together with other applicable trade measures; ask a customs broker about stacking rules when unclear.
• Keep invoices, bills of materials, manufacturing records, and origin statements that support the classification and origin declared on the entry.
