What is HTS 9903.85.09?

HTS 9903.85.09 is a Chapter 99 tariff modification under Section 232 Aluminum Derivative Exclusion. It is not a product classification — it's an overlay code that stacks on top of a base 10-digit HTS code at entry. Scope text: Except as provided in heading 9903.85.68 or 9903.85.70, derivative aluminum products provided for in the tariff headings and subheadings enumerated in subdivisions (j), (k), (r) or (s) of note 19 to this subchapter, where the derivative aluminum products were processed in another…

What rate does HTS 9903.85.09 apply?

The provision states: "The duty provided in the applicable subheading." That rate stacks on top of whatever the base HTSUS rate is for the underlying 10-digit code. Use the Tandom calculator to compute the full landed cost for any covered product.

Which countries does HTS 9903.85.09 apply to?

9903.85.09 applies universally to imports from all countries, except as carved out by parallel Chapter 99 provisions or country-specific exclusions referenced in the scope text.

Is HTS 9903.85.09 currently active?

Yes — 9903.85.09 is currently active (effective 2025-03-12) with no expiration on file.

How do I use HTS 9903.85.09 when filing?

9903.85.09 doesn't classify a product on its own. When a base 10-digit HTS code falls within this provision's scope and a shipment matches the country and date conditions, the broker declares the base code at entry, then references 9903.85.09 on a separate line so its rate stacks on top. It currently covers 135 base HTS codes in Tandom's catalog.
