Historical reciprocal tariff for KH-origin goods

A “historical reciprocal tariff for KH-origin goods” is a trade measure recorded as having applied in the past to goods whose country of origin was identified by the code “KH.” In many customs systems, “KH” represents Cambodia, but an importer should verify the code and the measure’s official country description. “Historical” means the record concerns a prior period or version of the measure; it does not by itself show that the measure is currently in force.

“IEEPA” stands for the International Emergency Economic Powers Act, a US law that can provide authority for certain trade-related actions during a declared national emergency. A reciprocal tariff generally refers to an additional duty or other import treatment linked to how the United States evaluates trading-partner treatment of US goods. The measure may affect importers of covered goods from the specified country of origin, depending on the measure’s scope, product classification, entry date, and any exclusions or exceptions. The importer remains responsible for checking the current official tariff instructions and making a correct entry declaration.

What to check

• Verify whether “KH” means the relevant country of origin in the official measure record; do not rely only on a supplier’s shipping location.
• Check the measure’s status and effective-period information to determine whether the historical record still has any current relevance.
• Confirm the product’s 10-digit Harmonized Tariff Schedule classification, because coverage can depend on the tariff provision as well as the origin country.
• Review the official measure text, implementing instructions, exclusions, quota provisions, and any required reporting or entry notation.
• Ask a customs broker or trade counsel to review uncertain origin, classification, valuation, or applicability issues before entry.
