Historical reciprocal tariff for JO-origin goods

A historical reciprocal tariff is an additional U.S. import charge that was created under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (IEEPA) for goods associated with a specified trading partner. “JO” is the country code for Jordan. “Historical” usually means the measure is being shown for past periods or for reference, so you must verify whether it applied on the product’s entry date rather than assuming it applies now.

The measure typically affects commercial importers bringing covered Jordan-origin goods into the United States. Whether a product is covered depends on its tariff classification, country of origin, entry date, and any stated exclusions or exceptions. In customs terms, review the applicable Harmonized Tariff Schedule (HTSUS) provisions and the measure’s legal scope; the importer of record is generally responsible for declaring the goods correctly and paying any applicable duties or fees.

What to check

• Confirm the goods’ country of origin under U.S. origin rules; shipping from Jordan alone may not establish Jordanian origin.
• Verify the complete HTSUS classification, including any additional tariff line or Chapter 99 reporting instruction associated with the measure.
• Check the historical effective period against the date of entry, entry summary, or other date specified by the official measure.
• Read the measure’s product exclusions, exceptions, quota provisions, and any special rules before deciding that the goods are covered.
• Keep commercial invoices, production records, origin documentation, and classification support; ask a customs broker or trade lawyer to review uncertain cases.
