8426.11.00.00 from Taiwan resolves to 10.00%: no Column 1 rate on file and one trade remedy on top of it. That is one line of many under ship-to-shore cranes. Rates within the category differ, so the figure is what this line draws rather than a rate for the category as a whole.

Column 1 General (MFN)Heading 9903.05.76 states a rate that applies in lieu of the Column 1 rate, under U.S. note 1 to subchapter III of chapter 99.

What is in scope

Section 301 reaches ship-to-shore cranes under Chapter 99 heading group 9903.92 and the provisions of HTS 8426. The full list of classifications and the instrument behind the action are on the ship-to-shore cranes page.

Taiwan 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 9903.05.76. That reaches goods of Taiwan whatever they are. The Taiwan 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 ship-to-shore cranes 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.
