- Relying on product common names rather than technical descriptions — the HTS uses precise technical language that may differ from commercial terminology
- Failing to read Chapter Notes and Section Notes, which can override apparent heading matches
- Not considering the effect of Section 301, Section 232, and anti-dumping duties on the total effective duty rate

Chapter 43 Frequently Asked Questions
How do I find the correct HTS code for my product?
Start with the General Rules of Interpretation (GRI) and identify your product's function, composition, and form. Check the Section Notes and Chapter Notes for your product's chapter. Use CBP's online CROSS database for published ruling precedents. For binding certainty, request a written ruling from CBP's National Commodity Specialist Division.
What additional duties might apply beyond the base MFN rate?
Three main categories of additional duties may apply: Section 301 tariffs (7.5-25% on Chinese-origin goods), Section 232 tariffs (10-25% on steel and aluminum), and anti-dumping/countervailing duties (ADD/CVD, which vary by product and country). Some products face multiple overlapping duties. Check all applicable trade remedies for your specific product and origin.
Can I reduce or eliminate import duties legally?
Yes, through several strategies: (1) Use Free Trade Agreements — USMCA, KORUS, and other FTAs provide duty-free treatment for qualifying goods; (2) Tariff engineering — legally modify your product's design or materials to qualify for a lower-duty classification; (3) Verify correct classification — overpayment due to misclassification is common and preventable; (4) Apply for Chapter 99 exclusions from Section 301 duties where available.
What is a CBP binding ruling and should I get one?
A CBP binding ruling is a written determination from CBP's National Commodity Specialist Division that establishes the correct HTS classification for your product. It is binding on CBP at all ports of entry. If you import high-value products or products with ambiguous classification, a binding ruling provides legal certainty and protects you from retroactive duty assessments.
How often do HTS duty rates change?
MFN duty rates are relatively stable, changing only through congressional legislation or trade agreement modifications. However, Section 301 tariff rates and exclusions change frequently — USTR updates exclusion lists periodically. Anti-dumping duties are reviewed every 5 years (sunset reviews) but can be modified at any time. Section 232 rates are adjusted by presidential proclamation. Check current rates before each import.
