The average general duty rate across all tariff lines in this chapter is 2.5%, with the highest individual rate reaching 5%. Duty burden varies widely across tariff lines within this chapter, classification precision matters. Below, each line links to its individual detail page showing General, Special (FTA), and Column 2 rates.
