What is in scope

Section 232 reaches copper under Chapter 99 heading group 9903.82 and the provisions of HTS 74. The full list of classifications and the instrument behind the action are on the copper page.

Malta also faces a country-wide additional duty of 10.0%, applied as a cap on the combined duty rather than a surcharge upon it, reported under 9903.05.39. That reaches goods of Malta whatever they are. The Malta 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 copper 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.
