Historical reciprocal tariff for MK-origin goods

A historical reciprocal tariff for MK-origin goods is a past trade measure associated with goods whose country of origin is identified as MK, the country code for North Macedonia. “Historical” means the measure may apply only during a specified former period or may have been replaced, suspended, or otherwise changed. Confirm its status and effective period in the official source before relying on it.

“IEEPA” refers to the International Emergency Economic Powers Act, a US law that can authorize certain import-related measures during a declared national emergency. A reciprocal tariff generally describes an additional duty intended to respond to another country’s tariffs or trade barriers. For an importer, the measure may be an extra charge applied in addition to the normal HTSUS classification duty, so the importer must evaluate country of origin, product classification, and the applicable measure instructions together. Customs-broker or trade-counsel review may be appropriate where the facts are uncertain.

What to check

• Verify whether the measure is currently effective, and check its exact effective and termination or modification periods in the official source.
• Confirm the product’s country of origin under US origin rules; the shipping location, seller location, or routing country may not determine origin.
• Review the complete HTSUS classification and any headings, subheadings, exclusions, or product descriptions tied to the measure.
• Check whether the measure is an additional duty layered on top of ordinary customs duties and other applicable fees or trade remedies.
• Keep manufacturing, sourcing, classification, and origin records, and ask a licensed customs broker or trade attorney to review uncertain cases.
