Tariff Watch8703.80.00.20 from DR Congo resolves to 27.50%: a Column 1 General rate of 2.50% and one trade remedy on top of it. That is one line of many under electric vehicles. Rates within the category differ, so the figure is what this line draws rather than a rate for the category as a whole.

What is in scope
Section 301 reaches electric vehicles under Chapter 99 heading group 9903.91 and the provisions of HTS 870380. The full list of classifications and the instrument behind the action are on the electric vehicles page.
DR Congo faces no country-wide additional duty. Every layer above is product-specific, so it turns on the classification rather than on the origin alone. The DR Congo 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 electric vehicles 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.
