Tariff Watch8507.60.00.10 from Qatar resolves to 15.90%: a Column 1 General rate of 3.40% and one trade remedy on top of it. That is one line of many under lithium-ion batteries. Rates within the category differ, so the figure is what this line draws rather than a rate for the category as a whole.

Considered and not applied
| Section 232 | U.S. note 33(g) reaches this provision only where the article is in fact a part of a passenger vehicle or light truck, and U.S. note 38(i) only where it is a part of a medium- or heavy-duty vehicle. The note enumerates the whole heading, which also covers articles that are not vehicle parts, and the classification does not record which is which. An article in the heading that is not a vehicle part is entered under heading 9903.94.06 or 9903.74.11, which carry the duty of the applicable subheading and no additional duty, so the 25 percent is not included above. Add it where the article is a vehicle part. |
- Heading 9903.94.05 covers 8507600010 only where the article is a vehicle part, which the classification does not record. It is not included in the total.
What is in scope
Section 301 reaches lithium-ion batteries under Chapter 99 heading group 9903.91 and the provisions of HTS 850760. The full list of classifications and the instrument behind the action are on the lithium-ion batteries page.
Qatar also faces a country-wide additional duty of 12.5%, reported under 9903.05.65. That reaches goods of Qatar whatever they are. The Qatar page sets out every action reaching that origin.
Reading this figure
Duty is assessed at the ten-digit statistical line, not at the category and not at the four-digit heading. A different line under lithium-ion batteries can carry a different Column 1 rate and, where a trade remedy enumerates provisions rather than a whole chapter, a different set of layers. The calculator resolves a specific code, origin and value.
For what each layer above is: Section 232, Section 301, Section 338, how the layers combine.
