About HTS 6110.90.10

The general (MFN / Column 1 General) rate for HTS 6110.90.10 is 0.9%, which applies to most trading partners of the United States. A special preferential rate of "Free (AU,BH, CL,CO,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 60% applies to imports from non-MFN countries such as Cuba and North Korea, a much higher historical "full" tariff.
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.
