Why does the rate differ by country for the same HTS code?

The Column 1 rate is the same for every origin with normal trade relations. Trade-remedy duties under Sections 232, 301 and 338 are imposed by origin, by product, or by both, so two shipments of the same article from different countries can carry very different totals.

Is this the rate I will actually pay?

It is the rate that applies to this classification and origin on the date shown. The duty owed on a specific entry also depends on the 10-digit statistical suffix, declared content where a duty is content-based, preference eligibility, and any AD/CVD order in scope.

HTS 4409

Heading 4409 covers wood (including strips and friezes for parquet flooring, not assembled) continuously shaped (tongued, grooved, rebated, chamfered, v-jointed, beaded, molded, rounded or the like) along any of its edges, ends or faces, whether or not planed, sanded or end-jointed. Duty is assessed at the 10-digit statistical line; the figures here are resolved for 4409.10.05.00, the first line under this heading. Its Column 1 rate is 3.2%; other lines under 4409 carry different Column 1 rates. On top of that, the ad valorem total depends on origin: China carries 40.70% and Italy carries 10.00%.

Common questions

What is the duty rate for HTS 4409?: Heading 4409 covers wood (including strips and friezes for parquet flooring, not assembled) continuously shaped (tongued, grooved, rebated, chamfered, v-jointed, beaded, molded, rounded or the like) along any of its edges, ends or faces, whether or not planed, sanded or end-jointed. Duty is assessed at the 10-digit statistical line; the figures here are resolved for 4409.10.05.00, the first line under this heading. Its Column 1 rate is 3.2%; other lines under 4409 carry different Column 1 rates. On top of that, the ad valorem total depends on origin: China carries 40.70% and Italy carries 10.00%.
Why does the rate differ by country for the same HTS code?: The Column 1 rate is the same for every origin with normal trade relations. Trade-remedy duties under Sections 232, 301 and 338 are imposed by origin, by product, or by both, so two shipments of the same article from different countries can carry very different totals.
