Chapter 99 classification notes

Chapter 99 contains country-specific temporary tariff provisions including Section 232 / 301 surcharges. US Chapter 99 currently lists active Section 301 China tariffs across 7,000+ HS lines.

Frequent misclassification in this chapter

Items subject to Section 301 surcharges still require their substantive HS classification AND a Chapter 99 statistical reporting line.

The 6-digit level shown here is the internationally harmonised layer. Duty rates attach to national 8-10 digit tariff lines, which differ by country — use the duty calculator for lane estimates. For binding certainty, request a ruling from the destination customs authority.
