Description

Authoritative scope text from the U.S. Harmonized Tariff Schedule

Automobile parts the product of the European Union with an ad valorem (or ad valorem equivalent) rate of duty under column 1 less than 15 percent, as provided for in subdivision (r) of U.S. note 33 to this subchapter.

How to use this provision

When and how this overlay shows up at entry

Chapter 99 provision 9903.94.45 is a tariff modification — it 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 9903.94.45 on a separate line so its rate stacks on top.

Worked example

How this overlay applies to a real covered code

Imagine an importer files a $10,000.00 shipment of 4009.12.00.20 (brake hoses for the vehicles of subheadings 8701.21, 8701.22, 8701.23, 8701.24 or 8701.29 or headings 8702, 8703, 8704, 8705 or 8711) from a country in scope. The overlay rate of 15% stacks on top of the base HTSUS rate of 2.5%.
