About Chapter 98
Chapter 98 contains 120 10-digit statistical lines grouped under 0 4-digit headings. Brokers, importers, and customs counsel use these codes to declare special classification provisions on entry summaries (CBP Form 7501) and to look up the published Column 1, Special, and Column 2 rate notation.
All 120 10-digit lines in this chapter enter duty-free under the general (Column 1) rate. Chapter 99 flags or potentially relevant AD/CVD order flags can still appear beyond the base rate; use the calculator's entry-date and origin inputs, and read any AD/CVD order's written scope.
Product-code pages link into the Tandom Tariff Calculator with the base HTS code prefilled. Chapter 99 provision pages instead show mapped base codes and send you to a dated calculator scenario, which determines whether a measure applies from the entry facts. Tandom's data refreshes daily from USITC HTSUS, CBP CSMS, the Federal Register, and the Department of Commerce — the same authoritative sources the trade community files against.
