Historical reciprocal tariff for IL-origin goods

A historical reciprocal tariff for IL-origin goods is a past U.S. trade measure associated with goods whose country of origin is identified by the code “IL.” “Reciprocal” generally means the measure was designed to address differences in tariff treatment between trading partners. “IEEPA” refers to the International Emergency Economic Powers Act, a U.S. law that can authorize certain import-related economic measures during a declared national emergency. Because this measure is labeled historical, do not assume it currently applies; verify its status in the official tariff data and related government notices.

For an importer, the key concepts are country of origin, tariff classification, and additional duty. Country of origin is where the product underwent the required substantial transformation—not necessarily where it was shipped from or where its components came from. Tariff classification is the product’s Harmonized Tariff Schedule (HTS) number. A measure may apply only when both the origin and the covered HTS provisions match, and it may be collected in addition to ordinary customs duty or other applicable trade measures. The exact scope and any exclusions require review of the official measure text and, when unclear, advice from a customs broker or trade lawyer.

What to check

• Confirm what “IL” represents in the applicable official data and determine the product’s legally supportable country of origin.
• Verify the product’s complete HTS classification, including any statistical suffix, against the measure’s listed tariff provisions.
• Check whether the measure is historical, active, suspended, replaced, or otherwise limited, using current official sources rather than relying on an old entry record.
• Look for exclusions, product descriptions, origin rules, entry-date rules, and any relationship to other additional duties before calculating landed cost.
• Keep manufacturing records, bills of materials, classification analysis, and entry documentation supporting the claimed origin and tariff treatment.
