Duty Rates
General (Column 1 - MFN)
6.5%
This is an ad valorem duty, meaning the import duty is calculated as a percentage (6.5%) of the declared value of the imported goods.
Column 2 Rate (Non-Tariff Treaty Countries)
This rate applies to countries without normal trade relations (most-favored-nation status) with the United States:
15.4¢/kg + 52%
Column 2 rates are substantially higher than Column 1 rates and are rarely applied in modern international trade due to most-favored-nation agreements.
