Verdict: NO DATA IMPACT — USTR comment request for the 2026 Notorious Markets List review (Special 301 IP program, 19 USC 2242); no tariff or duty content.
USTR opened the comment period for its 2026 Notorious Markets List review, covering markets linked to counterfeiting and piracy, with comments due October 7, 2026. This is an intellectual-property review under the Special 301 program and carries no tariff measures. No duty rates or HTS codes are affected.

Verdict: NO DATA IMPACT — Final rule mandates electronic export manifest in ACE for rail cargo (effective 2026-10-26, enforced 2027-10-26); export manifest data elements only, HTSUS mentioned only as a cargo-description field, no duty rates touched.
CBP finalized a rule requiring electronic export manifests in ACE for rail cargo leaving the United States, effective October 26, 2026 with enforcement starting October 26, 2027. It concerns export documentation only; HTS numbers appear in it solely as an optional cargo-description field on manifests. No import duty rates are affected.

Verdict: NO DATA IMPACT — CBP Dec. 26-17 establishes four Customs-Enforcement Areas in near-shore waters under the Anti-Smuggling Act (19 USC 1701); maritime enforcement jurisdiction only, no tariff content.
CBP established four Customs-Enforcement Areas in the near-shore waters of South Florida, Central/Southern California, Puerto Rico, and the Texas Gulf Coast, effective August 25, 2026, expanding maritime anti-smuggling enforcement authority. This changes where CBP can board and inspect vessels, not what anything costs to import. No tariff rates or HTS codes are affected.

Verdict: NO DATA IMPACT — CSMS 69635410 adds ACE validation error F883 blocking Post Summary Corrections that modify IEEPA HTS on FTZ type 06 entries; filing-procedure change only, no rate, scope, or exemption change.
CBP added a new ACE filing validation (error F883) that blocks Post Summary Corrections from modifying the IEEPA tariff line on Foreign Trade Zone type 06 entries, deployed August 21, 2026. This is a customs filing-procedure change for brokers and self-filers. No duty rates, tariff scopes, or exemptions change, so the rates returned by our API are unaffected.

USITC published 2026HTSRev17 and it is now live in the API. 6 rates changed.

The free tariff calculator was leaving the base duty out of its total. Any origin without a US free-trade agreement was quietly given the duty-free rate, so the calculator returned only the Section 301/232 surcharges and omitted the underlying HTS rate. A $10,000 shipment of soap from Poland showed 0.3% instead of 4.3%; sugar from the Netherlands 5.2% instead of 10.3%; knit fabric from Brazil 37.8% instead of 41.8%. The HTS pages and the API were always correct, so this affected the calculator only. Fixed 2026-08-09: the calculator now checks trade-agreement membership the same way the API does. Separately, goods from the 32 AGOA countries now correctly receive their duty-free rate everywhere; they had been charged the full rate because the beneficiary list was never populated.

A Section 201 safeguard took effect on 15 August 2026 for quartz surface products under HTS 6810.99.00.20, 6810.99.00.40 and 7020.00.60.00 (Proclamation 11051).

It is a tariff-rate quota, so there are two rates: 25% within the quota and 50% above it. Which one applies depends on whether the quarterly quota is still open when your entry is filed, and that is not something we can know from an HTS code and a country of origin.

So we do not guess. On these lanes `summary.total_resolved_ad_valorem_rate` is now `null`, and `rate_conditional.alternatives` carries both rates with their conditions. If your integration totals our response, it will need to read that block rather than the summary. The rates step down each year: 23%/49% from August 2027, then 21%/48%, then 19%/47%.

Most origins are exempt. The proclamation excludes 124 countries and territories, including Canada, Mexico, South Korea, Australia, Israel, Singapore, Brazil and the CAFTA-DR and Caribbean Basin parties. Those lanes are unchanged.

If you ask about an 8-digit heading that spans both covered and uncovered lines, such as 6810.99.00, we return a normal total and show the safeguard as advisory, because whether it applies depends on the 10-digit line your goods classify to.

We were late: the safeguard was in force from 15 August and our answers did not reflect it until 16 August. Lookups on these three codes in that window came back too low. If you priced shipments from them, re-run them.

USITC published 2026HTSRev16 and it is now live in the API. 4 rates changed.

USITC published 2026HTSRev15 and it is now live in the API. 2 rates changed.

Heading 9903.04.63, the United Kingdom lane of the Section 232 action on patented pharmaceuticals, was reduced from an additional 10% to 0%. We were serving the superseded 10% for any as_of on or after 29 September 2026.

Commerce reduced the rate effective 12:01 a.m. Eastern on 31 July 2026 (FR Doc. 2026-15799, announced in CBP CSMS #69415934). That is the same moment the action's earliest lane opened and it precedes the 29 September general date, so the United Kingdom never owed the 10% on any entry. Nothing was over-charged on a shipment already made; the wrong figure would have appeared on forward-dated quotes.

UK-origin goods on covered chapter 29 and 30 provisions now resolve to their Column 1 rate and nothing more. The heading was amended rather than withdrawn, so it is still reportable on the entry and we still return it, as a zero-rate advisory rather than a charge. If you total our response yourself, note that it contributes nothing. Verified live in production on 2 August 2026.

Fixed a Section 301 data defect affecting Chinese-origin goods under U.S. note 20: expired product-exclusion subdivisions were being served as live exemptions, under-charging 8 tariff lanes (e.g. 9401.71.00.11 served 12.5% instead of the correct 37.5%) since 2026-07-24, and the live solar-equipment exclusion 9903.88.70 (note 20(www), extended through 2026-11-09 by FR 2025-21671 Annex B) was never surfaced as claimable. 392 defective exemption rows removed, 3 re-keyed to the correct claim heading with the cited expiry; the parser now rejects the defect class at ingestion and a daily audit guard asserts it stays gone. Full regression corpus (260 tuples) green against production.

USITC published 2026HTSRev14 and it is now live in the API. 10 rates changed.

Verdict: NO DATA IMPACT — as a separate action, HSU 2618 is the ACE/HTS implementation of the Section 232 patented-pharmaceuticals duties already tracked under CSMS #69395344, which we model in full (headings 9903.04.60-.69); it announces no new rate and no scope change.

Harmonized System Update 2618, created July 31, 2026, carries 174 tariff records and 591 ABI records loading the Section 232 patented-pharmaceuticals duties into ACE, effective July 31, 2026. CBP points readers to CSMS #69395344 for the substance.

This is the plumbing for an action we already model rather than a new action. Proclamation 11020 and U.S. note 40 are live in our data across headings 9903.04.60 through 9903.04.69, including the 100% default lane, the 15% lane for the EU-27, Japan, Korea, Switzerland and Liechtenstein, the United Kingdom lane, the Annex III window that runs to September 28, 2026, and the claimable generics relief under 9903.04.67.

One operational note for anyone reconciling our numbers against the published schedule. This update is what put the 9903.04.6x range into the USITC export, and the exported text for the United Kingdom heading 9903.04.63 still reads "+10%". That figure was superseded on July 31, 2026, the same day, by a Commerce notice reducing it to 0% (FR Doc. 2026-15799, announced in CBP CSMS #69415934). We serve the reduced 0% rate. Where the published schedule and a later Commerce or CBP instrument disagree, the later instrument governs, and the schedule catches up afterwards.

Verdict: NO DATA IMPACT — a National Emergencies Act 202(d) renewal of the EO 13441 Lebanon emergency, which is an IEEPA blocking-sanctions program administered by OFAC, not a duty program; the notice contains no tariff text, names no HTS code or Chapter 99 heading, and changes no rate.

On July 29, 2026 the President continued for one year the national emergency with respect to Lebanon originally declared in Executive Order 13441 of August 1, 2007. This is a routine annual renewal under section 202(d) of the National Emergencies Act.

Executive Order 13441 authorises blocking the property of persons undermining Lebanon's sovereignty or democratic institutions. It is a targeted sanctions program, not a tariff action: it names no Harmonized Tariff Schedule provisions and imposes no duties. The renewal notice adds nothing beyond extending the emergency.

No effect on any duty rate we report. Sanctions and blocking programs are outside what this API models; we resolve Column 1 and Column 2 base rates, Chapter 99 additional measures such as Section 301, Section 232 and Section 122, their exemptions, and trade-agreement special rates. Screening a counterparty against OFAC lists is a separate compliance question from the duty owed on a classified good.

Verdict: NO DATA IMPACT — this is a CBP operational notice about a quota-processing defect in ACE; it names no HTS codes, moves no duty rate, and changes no tariff-rate-quota threshold, and quotas are outside what we model (we resolve Column 1/2 base rates and Chapter 99 additional measures, not quota or licensing administration).

CBP has reported a defect in how the Automated Commercial Environment (ACE) processes quotas for certain Chapter 99 HTS codes, and says it is investigating and will follow up when a fix is in place. CBP did not identify the affected codes.

This does not affect any rate returned by the API. Quota and licensing administration sits outside what we model — we resolve Column 1 and Column 2 base rates and Chapter 99 additional measures (Section 301, 232, 122). No duty rate, effective date, or quota threshold in our data moves as a result of this notice, and no action is needed on your side.

We are tracking CBP's follow-up message in case the resolution carries a substantive tariff change.

Verdict: NO DATA IMPACT — a National Emergencies Act 202(d) renewal of the EO 14323 Brazil emergency with no operative tariff text; the IEEPA duty authority it once carried terminated 2026-02-23 (Learning Resources v. Trump) and Brazil duties now come from Section 301 notes 50 and 52, which this notice does not touch.

On July 28, 2026 the President continued for one year the national emergency with respect to Brazil originally declared in Executive Order 14323 of July 30, 2025. This is a routine renewal under section 202(d) of the National Emergencies Act. The notice contains no tariff schedule, no Chapter 99 heading, and no change to any duty rate.

The IEEPA tariff authority that once rested on this emergency ended on February 23, 2026 after the Supreme Court's decision in Learning Resources v. Trump; continuing the emergency preserves the sanctions and blocking authorities, not duty collection. US duties on Brazilian goods today come from the Section 301 actions: +25% on all products of Brazil under heading 9903.05.01 (U.S. note 50, effective 2026-07-22) and +12.5% under the forced-labor action at 9903.05.27 (U.S. note 52, effective 2026-07-24), which stack on each other.

Rates returned by the API are unchanged. Verified against live production on 2026-07-29: 6909.19.50.95 / BR resolves to 4% base + 25% + 12.5%, and 6404.11.90 / BR to 20% base + 25% + 12.5%.

Verdict: NO DATA IMPACT — this is the source already modeled: the Section 301 forced-labor duties of 10% to 12.5% across sixty economies, effective 2026-07-24, live in production.

USTR's Notice of Actions imposes additional duties of 10% to 12.5% on imports from sixty economies under headings 9903.05.20 through 9903.05.84, effective 12:01 a.m. ET on July 24, 2026, with general exemptions at 9903.05.85 through 9903.05.92 and economy-specific exemptions at 9903.06.01 through 9903.06.21.

This action is already reflected in the API, including the exemption lists. Where an economy also carries its own country-level Section 301 action, the two stack: Brazilian goods land at base plus 25% under note 50 plus 12.5% under note 52. No further change results from this notice.

Verdict: NO DATA IMPACT — the Presidential determination directing the Section 301 forced-labor action already modeled; the operative duties are USTR's companion Notice of Actions, live since 2026-07-24.

This document records the Presidential actions in the Section 301 investigations of sixty economies over the failure to prohibit and enforce against imports of goods produced with forced labor. It is the directing instrument; the duties themselves come from USTR's companion Notice of Actions.

Those duties, 10% to 12.5% under headings 9903.05.20 through 9903.05.84 with effect from July 24, 2026, are already live in the API together with their exemption lists. No change results from this document.

Verdict: NO DATA IMPACT — Harmonized System Update 2617 carries the Section 301 forced-labor records already modeled plus Fish and Wildlife import flag changes.

Harmonized System Update 2617 contains 124 tariff records and 379 broker interface records. It carries the Section 301 forced-labor tariff records, effective July 24, 2026, and changes several Fish and Wildlife Service import flags from FW2 to FW1 following a final rule amending the shellfish definition.

The forced-labor duties are already live in the API under headings 9903.05.20 through 9903.05.84. Partner-government agency import flags govern which agency must review a shipment; they carry no duty and are outside what this API models. No rate changes.

The 10% Section 122 import surcharge under heading 9903.03.01 applies to entries through July 23, 2026 and expires after that date. From July 24, resolver responses no longer include the surcharge; total rates on affected codes drop by 10 percentage points unless another measure applies.

Verdict: NO DATA IMPACT — CBP filing guidance for the Section 301 forced-labor action already modeled; the 60 economies, the 10% and 12.5% rates, the 9903.05.20-.84 headings, and the 2026-07-24 effective date all match what production returns.

CBP issued filing instructions for USTR's Section 301 forced-labor action: additional duties of 10% to 12.5% on imports from sixty economies, under headings 9903.05.20 through 9903.05.84, effective for goods entered on or after 12:01 a.m. ET on July 24, 2026, with general exemptions at headings 9903.05.85 through 9903.05.92 and economy-specific exemptions at 9903.06.01 through 9903.06.21.

This action is already reflected in the API, including the exemption lists and the fact that Brazil takes this duty on top of its own country action, landing Brazilian goods at base plus 25% plus 12.5%. No change results from this guidance.

Verdict: NO DATA IMPACT — Harmonized System Update 2616 carries the Brazil Section 301 records already modeled plus one FDA import flag change.

Harmonized System Update 2616 contains 20 tariff records and 80 broker interface records. It carries the Section 301 Brazil tariff records, effective July 22, 2026, and changes one FDA import flag on subheading 2941.50.0000 from FD2 to FD1.

The Brazil Section 301 duty is already live in the API at +25% under heading 9903.05.01. Partner-government agency import flags govern which agency must review a shipment; they carry no duty and are outside what this API models. No rate changes.

Verdict: NO DATA IMPACT — a National Emergencies Act 202(d) renewal of the EO 13882 Mali emergency, carrying sanctions authority with no tariff text and touching no watched program.

On July 21, 2026 the President continued for one year the national emergency with respect to the situation in Mali, originally declared in Executive Order 13882 of July 26, 2019. This is a routine renewal under section 202(d) of the National Emergencies Act.

The notice contains no tariff schedule, no Chapter 99 heading, and no duty rate. The underlying emergency supports sanctions and blocking authorities, not import duties, and Mali carries no trade-remedy measure in the API. Rates are unchanged.

Verdict: NO DATA IMPACT — Proclamation 11045 creates a Commerce-administered onshoring incentive granting approved companies a half-rate 232 allowance on primary aluminum; it is company and quantity specific, sets no new rate or heading, and expressly defers any HTSUS change to a later Commerce notice.

Proclamation 11045 directs the Secretary of Commerce to establish an investment incentive program under Section 232. Companies that submit an approved onshoring plan, committing to build, refurbish, or expand a U.S. primary aluminum facility with construction starting by January 20, 2029, may annually import a quantity of primary aluminum matching that facility's anticipated output at half the Section 232 rate otherwise in effect.

No published aluminum rate changes and no Chapter 99 heading is created. The benefit attaches to an approved company and a specific quantity, not to a tariff code and country of origin, so it is not something a rate API can resolve, in the same way as the existing auto-parts import adjustment offset. The proclamation directs Commerce to decide separately whether any tariff schedule changes are needed and to publish them by Federal Register notice; that future notice is the thing to watch. Aluminum rates returned today are unchanged.

Verdict: NO DATA IMPACT — Proclamation 11046 as published matches what is already modeled: Section 338, +50% on Canadian alcoholic beverages, effective 2026-08-19 under heading 9903.03.12.

Proclamation 11046 imposes an additional 50% ad valorem duty under Section 338 of the Tariff Act of 1930 on the 63 Canadian subheadings listed in its Annex II, covering beer, wine, spirits and related goods, effective for goods entered on or after 12:01 a.m. ET on August 19, 2026.

The published text matches what the API already carries under heading 9903.03.12, U.S. note 51(b)(1), including both exclusions: the duty does not apply to goods already subject to Section 232, nor to articles on the civil-aircraft list. The duty applies regardless of USMCA origination. Verified against live production on 2026-07-29: 2208.50.00 from Canada carries no Section 338 duty at July 30 and carries the +50% under 9903.03.12 at August 19.

Verdict: NO DATA IMPACT — Proclamation 11047 as published matches what is already modeled: Section 338, +50% on Canadian dairy, effective 2026-08-19 under heading 9903.03.13.

Proclamation 11047 imposes an additional 50% ad valorem duty under Section 338 of the Tariff Act of 1930 on the 52 Canadian dairy and related subheadings listed in its Annex II, effective for goods entered on or after 12:01 a.m. ET on August 19, 2026.

The published text matches what the API already carries under heading 9903.03.13, U.S. note 51(b)(2), including both exclusions: the duty does not apply to goods already subject to Section 232, nor to articles on the civil-aircraft list. The duty applies regardless of USMCA origination. Verified against live production on 2026-07-29: the duty is absent before August 19 and present on and after it.

Verdict: NO DATA IMPACT — Proclamation 11048 as published matches what is already modeled: Section 338, +50% on the motor-vehicle annex products of Canada, effective 2026-08-19 under heading 9903.03.14.

Proclamation 11048 imposes an additional 50% ad valorem duty under Section 338 of the Tariff Act of 1930 on the Canadian products listed in its Annex II, effective for goods entered on or after 12:01 a.m. ET on August 19, 2026. Despite the title, the annex reaches well beyond vehicles: 439 subheadings across chapters 4 through 97.

The published text matches what the API already carries under heading 9903.03.14, U.S. note 51(b)(3), including both exclusions: the duty does not apply to goods already subject to Section 232, nor to articles on the civil-aircraft list. The duty applies regardless of USMCA origination. Verified against live production on 2026-07-29: covered Canadian goods carry no Section 338 duty before August 19 and carry the +50% on and after it.

Aluminum articles that are the product of Russia (HTS 9903.85.67, and derivative aluminum under 9903.85.68) now resolve with the 200% Section 232 duty under U.S. note 19 (Proclamation 10522). These Russia-specific headings supersede the generic 50% metals lane, so Russian-origin aluminum resolves at base + 200%, not base + 50%.

USTR imposed an additional 25% Section 301 duty on products of Brazil under HTS 9903.05.01 (U.S. note 50), effective 12:01 a.m. ET on July 22, 2026. Brazil-origin goods now resolve with the 25% stacked on the base rate (and Section 122 through its July 23 sunset). The note-50 exemptions are carved out, so in-transit goods, goods already covered by Section 232, civil aircraft, and pharmaceutical inputs are not over-charged.

Verdict: NO DATA IMPACT — CBP filing guidance for the Brazil Section 301 action already modeled; the rate, heading, effective date, and exemption headings all match what production returns.

CBP issued filing instructions for USTR's Section 301 action on Brazil: heading 9903.05.01, an additional 25% ad valorem on articles the product of Brazil, effective for goods entered on or after 12:01 a.m. ET on July 22, 2026, with exemptions at headings 9903.05.02 through 9903.05.09.

Everything in this guidance is already reflected in the API. One exemption is intentionally not applied automatically: heading 9903.05.02 covers goods that were already in transit before July 22 and entered before July 29, 2026. That test depends on a specific shipment's loading and entry dates, not on the tariff code and country of origin, so the API reports the full duty and leaves the in-transit claim to the filer. That window has now closed in any case.

Verdict: NO DATA IMPACT — a tariff-rate quota bulletin covering opening dates and quantity allocation, which is outside the modeled scope of duty rates.

CBP published Quota Bulletin 26-404 for the 2027 cotton quota under Chapter 52 Additional U.S. Note 8. The quota period runs August 1, 2026 through July 31, 2027.

Quota bulletins set quantity limits and opening procedures. They do not change any duty rate, so nothing in the API moves. Quota quantities and fill status are outside what this API models.

Verdict: NO DATA IMPACT — a tariff-rate quota bulletin covering opening dates and quantity allocation, which is outside the modeled scope of duty rates.

CBP published Quota Bulletin 26-403 for the 2027 cotton quota under Chapter 52 Additional U.S. Note 7. The quota period runs August 1, 2026 through July 31, 2027.

Quota bulletins set quantity limits and opening procedures. They do not change any duty rate, so nothing in the API moves. Quota quantities and fill status are outside what this API models.

Verdict: NO DATA IMPACT — a tariff-rate quota bulletin covering opening dates and quantity allocation, which is outside the modeled scope of duty rates.

CBP published Quota Bulletin 26-402 for the 2027 cotton quota under Chapter 52 Additional U.S. Note 6 (cotton, rough or harsh). The quota period runs August 1, 2026 through July 31, 2027, opening Monday, August 3, 2026, with proration if the limit is exceeded at opening.

Quota bulletins set quantity limits and opening procedures. They do not change any duty rate, so nothing in the API moves. Quota quantities and fill status are outside what this API models.

Verdict: NO DATA IMPACT — this is the source already modeled: Brazil Section 301, heading 9903.05.01, +25% on all products of Brazil, effective 2026-07-22, live in production since 2026-07-23.

USTR's Notice of Action imposes an additional 25% ad valorem on all products of Brazil under heading 9903.05.01, U.S. note 50, effective 12:01 a.m. ET on July 22, 2026, with exemptions at headings 9903.05.02 through 9903.05.09.

This action is already reflected in the API and is the pinned source for the Brazil Section 301 regime. Verified against live production on 2026-07-29: 6909.19.50.95 / BR returns 4% base + 25%, and 6404.11.90 / BR returns 20% base + 25%, both alongside the separate forced-labor duty under note 52. The in-transit exemption at 9903.05.02 is deliberately not applied automatically, because it turns on when a specific shipment was loaded and entered rather than on the tariff code and origin.

Verdict: NO DATA IMPACT — the Presidential memorandum directing the Brazil Section 301 action; the operative duty is USTR's Notice of Action, already live as 9903.05.01 at +25% since 2026-07-22.

The Memorandum of July 15, 2026 directs the United States Trade Representative to take action in the Section 301 investigation of Brazil's acts, policies, and practices related to digital trade and electronic payment services, tariffs, anti-corruption enforcement, intellectual property, ethanol market access, and deforestation. It is the directing instrument; it sets no rate and names no tariff heading.

The duty itself comes from USTR's companion Notice of Action (91 FR 45516), which imposes an additional 25% on all products of Brazil under heading 9903.05.01, U.S. note 50, effective 12:01 a.m. ET on July 22, 2026. That measure is already live in the API. No change results from this memorandum.

Verdict: NO DATA IMPACT — an ACE entry-summary validation and CATAIR error-code update for the Section 232 auto-parts import adjustment offset; no rate, no Chapter 99 heading, and the offset is granted per importer license rather than resolvable from HTS and origin.

On July 18, 2026 CBP deployed a new validation in the Automated Commercial Environment for the Section 232 import adjustment offset on automobile and medium and heavy-duty vehicle parts, and posted an updated CATAIR Error Dictionary (V51) with new error codes covering the auto-part credit.

This is an entry-filing control. It checks that an importer's Automobile License declaration carries a sufficient balance and that duty is not also claimed on the corresponding Chapter 99 line. The offset itself is allocated per importer license, not per HTS code and country of origin, so it changes no published duty rate and is not something a rate API can resolve. Rates returned for automobile and vehicle-part codes are unchanged.

United Kingdom-origin automobile parts enumerated in HTSUS Chapter 99 U.S. note 33(j) now resolve to the UK 10% all-in tariff cap under heading 9903.94.32 (US-UK Economic Prosperity Deal, effective June 30, 2025; CBP CSMS #65475725; 90 FR 27851), replacing the global 25% auto-parts lane (9903.94.05) for these codes. Previously these UK parts were returned at the global 25% rate, overstating the total duty by up to 17.5 percentage points (e.g. 8708.10.30.20 GB: 27.5% before, 10% now). The cap covers the 267 subheadings enumerated in subdivision (j), including the 8708 parts series, specific 8706/8707 chassis and body codes, tires (4011), and motor-vehicle seats (9401.20). Codes outside the UK list, such as 8706.00.03, correctly remain on the global lane. The certification-based lane 9903.94.33 (note 33(q)) is not modeled. Rates for all other origins are unchanged.

Verdict: NO DATA IMPACT — renewal of a national-emergency declaration; imposes no tariff or duty change.

The President renewed the national emergency on hostage-taking and wrongful detention of U.S. nationals. This is a foreign-policy authority renewal with no tariff or duty-rate effect, so no rates in our data change.

Verdict: NO DATA IMPACT — renewal of a national-emergency declaration; imposes no tariff or duty change.

The President renewed the national emergency on significant transnational criminal organizations. This is a foreign-policy authority renewal with no tariff or duty-rate effect, so no rates in our data change.

Verdict: NO DATA IMPACT — new ACE country-of-smelt/cast reporting fields for copper under Proclamation 11021; introduces no new duty rate or Chapter 99 measure.

CBP added new entry-reporting fields (country of smelt, country of cast) for certain copper classifications, effective July 30, 2026. This is a data-collection and filing requirement, not a rate change; the Section 232 copper duties themselves are unchanged.

Verdict: NO DATA IMPACT — Fish & Wildlife final rule updates a regulatory definition and tariff flagging for shellfish; no duty-rate change.

A U.S. Fish & Wildlife final rule updated the shellfish definition and related tariff flagging. No duty rates change.

Verdict: NO DATA IMPACT — Proclamation 11040 makes a Section 232 finding on commercial aircraft/engines/parts and directs negotiations and monitoring; it imposes no rate, names no HTS, and sets no effective date.

Proclamation 11040 makes a Section 232 national-security finding on commercial aircraft, jet engines, and parts, and directs trade negotiations. It imposes no new duty and names no HTS codes, so no rates change today. We will flag it if a follow-on action sets rates.

Verdict: NO DATA IMPACT — Harmonized System Update; HTS code changes are ingested automatically by the USITC scrape, no manual data change.

CBP deployed Harmonized System Update 2615. HTS code additions and edits from these updates are picked up automatically by our data pipeline.

Ninety headings express their duty entirely in words, with no number anywhere in the rate
text. Our internal check for unread rates required the text to contain a digit, so these
were never counted and never fixed. That filter has been removed.

Eighty-eight of the ninety now resolve to a structured reference recording which heading,
subheading, note or related article the duty defers to. No rate was invented, and nothing
is followed on your behalf.

Across the schedule, 243 duty rows now carry structured components, constraints or a
reference target. Four remain unread, and say so.

Duty rows whose rate text we could not previously read have been re-parsed through the
current grammar and now carry structured components, constraints or a reference target.

No rate value was invented. Every component is derived from the verbatim USITC text, and
any rate that could not be read in full is still reported as unreadable rather than
partially. Where a rate depends on something only the importer knows, we publish the terms
and decline to total them.

Ten watch and clock headings had been storing only the first two terms of a three-term
rate, which under-reported their duty. They now carry all three terms and are marked as
not machine-totallable.

Verdict: NO DATA IMPACT — tariff-rate-quota administration; quotas are outside our rate model.

A quarterly tariff-rate-quota bulletin for UK automobiles. We report duty rates, not quota quantity administration, so nothing changes in our data.

Verdict: NO DATA IMPACT — processing mechanics for refunding already-collected IEEPA duties; no rate change.

CBP updated the tool importers use to claim refunds of already-collected IEEPA duties (reconciliation-flagged entries). This is refund-processing workflow, not a change to any rate we serve.

Verdict: NO DATA IMPACT — USDA organic-program HTS flagging and filing reminders; no duty-rate change.

USDA's Agricultural Marketing Service updated HTS flagging and filing reminders for the National Organic Program. This is a filing requirement, not a rate change.

Verdict: NO DATA IMPACT — deployment confirmation of the IEEPA refund-processing tool; no rate change.

CBP confirmed the IEEPA refund tool (reconciliation-flagged entries) is now live in the ACE Portal. This is refund-processing workflow, not a change to any rate we serve.

Verdict: NO DATA IMPACT — filing instructions for the per-importer, Commerce-granted Section 232 auto/MHDV parts duty offset; changes no rate or scope.

CBP explained how importers claim the Section 232 import-adjustment offset on automobile and medium/heavy-duty-vehicle parts. The offset is a per-importer allowance granted by the Commerce Department; the underlying Section 232 rates are unchanged.

Verdict: NO DATA IMPACT — new ACE error code (F876); system-processing only.

CBP added a new ACE error code governing how duty and non-duty HTS lines are filed together. This is entry-processing validation, not a rate change.

Verdict: NO DATA IMPACT — Harmonized System Update; HTS code changes are ingested automatically by the USITC scrape, no manual data change.

CBP deployed Harmonized System Update 2614. HTS code additions and edits from these updates are picked up automatically by our data pipeline.

Verdict: NO DATA IMPACT — tariff-rate-quota restraint limit; quota administration is outside our rate model.

A tariff-rate-quota bulletin setting the final tuna restraint limit and proration. We report duty rates, not quota administration, so nothing changes in our data.

Verdict: NO DATA IMPACT — entry-type eligibility rules for the IEEPA refund tool; no rate change.

CBP updated which entry types (warehouse entries and withdrawals) route through the IEEPA refund tool. This is refund-processing eligibility, not a change to any rate we serve.

Verdict: NO DATA IMPACT — Paperwork Reduction Act notice extending the court-ordered IEEPA refund worksheet; no rate change.

A Paperwork Reduction Act notice seeking comment on extending the worksheet importers use to claim court-ordered IEEPA refunds. This concerns paperwork burden only, not any duty rate.

Verdict: NO DATA IMPACT — Section 232 investigation of anthracite/metallurgical coal at the public-comment stage; no duty imposed.

The Commerce Department opened a Section 232 investigation into anthracite and metallurgical coal imports (HTS 2701.11 and 2701.12) and is taking public comment through July 21, 2026. No duty is imposed at this stage, so no rates change. We will update if it results in tariffs.

The 2024 four-year review raised Section 301 duties on five specific 10-digit facemask codes under heading 6307.90.98. Between June 15 and July 6 our data applied that increase to the whole heading, overstating China-origin totals on non-mask articles (for example 6307.90.98.91) at 42% instead of 24.5%, or 17% where a product exclusion applies. Corrected on July 6: non-mask codes now return List 4A treatment, facemask codes are unchanged at their current 50% rate, and historical lookups for 2024-2025 reflect the rates in force at the time. We also added expiry dates to all reinstated product exclusions (heading 9903.88.69), which run through November 9, 2026.

The July 1 HTS revision split 24 tariff lines into new 10-digit statistical codes (including 8708.80.16, 1702.90.90, 2209.00.00, 3507.90.70, 9404.10.00). Our importer briefly reported those new codes without their China Section 301 duty, under-stating totals by 25 percentage points on affected China-origin lookups. Fixed on July 4: all 24 families now return the full duty stack, the importer anchors Section 301 at the 8-digit line so future revisions inherit automatically, and a structural audit now flags this pattern before it can recur.

Verdict: NO DATA IMPACT — Proclamation 11038 authorizes (does not self-execute) temporary duty-free entry of Moroccan phosphate fertilizer under Tariff Act Section 318; names no HTS and targets AD/CVD, which we do not model.

Proclamation 11038 authorizes temporary duty-free entry of phosphate fertilizer from Morocco, to be implemented later by the Treasury and Commerce Departments. It names no HTS codes and points at countervailing-duty relief, which is outside our rate model, so no rates in our data change.

USITC published 2026HTSRev11 and it is now live in the API. 89 rates changed.

Imports from Cuba, North Korea, Russia, and Belarus now correctly resolve at Column 2 rates per General Note 3(b) instead of Column 1, with applicable surcharges stacking on top.

Goods of US origin no longer receive Section 232 or Section 122 additional duties on re-import lookups. These import remedies never applied to US-origin goods; our data now reflects that consistently.

Backfilled the Section 301 four-year review increases under headings 9903.91 (415 code and origin rows; for example aluminum wire 7608.20.0030 from China moved from 55.7% to 80.7%). Also applied the 15% Section 232 auto-parts caps for EU, Japan, Korea, and Taiwan origins.

Mixed special-rate strings such as "Free (A, AU, BH, ...) / 3.2% (JP)" are now parsed per agreement and returned on the API. Previously these special rates could return null for partner-country lookups.

Extended Section 232 automobile and light truck coverage to the complete U.S. Note 33(g) code list, including 20 dual-use codes that rate conditionally at 0% when not entered as automotive articles. Around 1,350 code and origin combinations were added.

USITC published 2026HTSRev10 and it is now live in the API. 23 rates changed.

The Section 122 import surcharge is now reported at its statutory 10% rate under heading 9903.03.01 for entries from February 24 through July 23, 2026. Product exemptions follow the 9903.03.03 list. Over 1,200 measures were migrated and more than 6,000 affected rates were corrected.

Per Executive Order 14289, goods subject to the Section 232 automobile duty no longer also receive the Section 232 metals duty. Total rates on affected codes dropped accordingly (for example 52.5% to 27.5%).

Ingested the U.S. Note 20 (vvv) and (www) Section 301 exclusions, adding coverage for around 3,500 HTS code and program combinations that previously showed no Section 301 treatment.

Shipped a fix for roughly 100k HTS codes in Chapters 84 and 85 (computers, semiconductors, media) whose Section 122 product exemptions were missing from our data, causing the surcharge to be over-applied. Exemption coverage was extended and all affected codes were corrected in production.
