NOTES AND CAUTION: This database is being provided as an advisory tool only. For complete legal product descriptions and enacted/proclaimed tariff rates to be used on Customs Service documents, you must consult the current HTS and any supplements thereto, as well as any applicable Customs regulations and decisions.
Additionally, the database provides tariffs at the tariff-line (8-digit HTS item)level. Therefore, where there is more than one "first" unit of quantity (i.e. statistical line items are collected in different units of quantity), the unit of quantity will appear as "NA" for the 8-digit HTS. More than one line of data will appear for those 8-digit HTS items having a change within the year in a special program rate or eligibility (such as for the GSP program) or change in any other data element for the HTS item.
