About HTS 1212.93.00.00

This line sits within Chapter 12 (Oil seeds and oleaginous fruits; miscellaneous grains, seeds and fruit; industrial or medicinal plants; straw and fodder), Section II (Vegetable Products), and is catalogued as a tariff line in the USITC 2026 Basic Edition.

The general (MFN / Column 1 General) rate for HTS 1212.93.00.00 is $1.24/t, which applies to most trading partners of the United States. A special preferential rate of "Free (A,AU,BH,CL,CO,D,E,IL,JO,KR,MA,OM,P,PA,PE,S,SG)" may reduce or eliminate duty when goods qualify under a free trade agreement such as USMCA, CAFTA-DR, or one of the bilateral FTAs. The Column 2 rate of $2.76/t applies to imports from non-MFN countries such as Cuba and North Korea, a much higher historical "full" tariff.
Footnotes: See 9903.88.15. Beyond the published rate, importers should check for Section 201 safeguards, Section 301 China tariffs, and any active AD/CVD orders that can materially change the real landed cost.
