What is the duty rate for HTS 8702?

Heading 8702 covers motor vehicles for the transport of ten or more persons, including the driver. Duty is assessed at the 10-digit statistical line; the figures here are resolved for 8702.10.31.00, the first line under this heading. Its Column 1 rate is 2%. On top of that, the ad valorem total depends on origin: China carries 49.50% and Italy carries 20.00%.

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.

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.
