Historical reciprocal tariff for NO-origin goods

A historical reciprocal tariff is an additional U.S. import measure that was tied to the country of origin of the goods and, generally, to how that country treated U.S. goods. “NO-origin” means the goods were considered products of Norway under the applicable origin rules—not necessarily that they were shipped directly from Norway. “IEEPA” refers to the International Emergency Economic Powers Act, the legal authority used for certain trade-related measures.

This type of measure typically affects importers entering covered Norwegian-origin merchandise during the period in which the measure applied. It matters because the measure may be separate from the normal Harmonized Tariff Schedule classification duty and may require an additional tariff line, declaration, or entry calculation. Coverage can depend on the product’s HTSUS classification, country of origin, exclusions, and the measure’s stated scope. Confirming those details may require guidance from CBP, official tariff instructions, or a qualified customs broker.

What to check

• Verify the product’s HTSUS classification and read the measure’s scope, exclusions, and applicable tariff provisions.
• Determine the goods’ country of origin using substantial-transformation rules; do not rely only on the shipping country or seller location.
• Check the entry date and official instructions to confirm whether the historical measure applies to that importation.
• Look for any required additional tariff number, Chapter 99 provision, reporting instruction, or interaction with ordinary customs duties.
• Keep records supporting classification, origin, valuation, and any exclusion claim, and ask a customs broker or trade attorney when the facts are uncertain.
