Historical reciprocal tariff for NR-origin goods

A “historical reciprocal tariff for NR-origin goods” is an archived or past trade measure associated with the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (IEEPA). A reciprocal tariff generally refers to an additional import charge intended to address differences in trade treatment between the United States and another country. “NR-origin” is a data label for the covered origin category; the official measure record should be checked to confirm exactly what it means.

This type of measure typically affects goods imported into the United States based on their country of origin, product classification, and the measure’s stated scope. It matters because a covered charge may be added to ordinary customs duties and other import fees, affecting landed cost, customs entry information, and pricing. Because the measure is labeled historical, an importer must confirm whether it still applies to the entry being made rather than relying on an archived record alone.

What to check

• Check the official measure record for the definition of “NR-origin,” covered countries, product exclusions, and any stated conditions.
• Verify the product’s HTSUS classification and country of origin; do not use the shipping country alone as the origin.
• Confirm whether the measure is historical, current, suspended, replaced, or otherwise inapplicable on the intended entry date.
• Look for the measure type, legal authority, effective and termination information, and any relationship to other additional duties before calculating landed cost.
• Ask a customs broker or trade professional to review ambiguous origin, classification, or applicability issues.
