Estimate duty for 2208.90.01.00

Prefilled with 2208.90.01.00, the first of this code's 24 statistical lines and origin CN. The other lines under the same six digits can carry a different rate — pick the exact line from the entry-cost table below to price yours.

What a China-origin shipment of HS 220890 pays at entry

The Column 1 rate is only the first layer. For goods originating in China, 24 of this code's 24 HTS lines also carry additional duty under Chapter 99 note family, Section 301 (China), so every priceable line lands on 20% of the declared value. The table stacks the two layers line by line; the last column is the duty on a $1,000 declared value, and each HTS line links to the calculator with that line and this origin already filled in. 3 of those lines carry a compound rate with a per-unit component (¢ per kg or per item), so their ad valorem total and dollar figure need a quantity before they can be computed — the table says which, and the calculator takes the quantity.

Additional duty for origin CN (China) only, priced on a $1,000 declared value from the Chapter 99 composition the tariff API serves (schedule stamp 2026-11-11). A different origin can carry a different set of Chapter 99 measures on the same line — the free calculator prices one line and one origin at a time, and ExportSonar Pro monitors a set of your own codes so a rate change reaches you with its old value, its new value and the USITC source. Rates are informational and not a binding customs ruling.

Where this code sits in the schedule

Six digits is the last level the WCO Harmonized System defines internationally: chapter 22, heading 2208, subheading 220890. The US adds national digits below it — eight for the tariff line, ten for the statistical suffix — which is why two traders quoting “the HS code” can still disagree on the rate. Browse the ladder:

Frequently asked questions

What does an entry under HS 220890 cost for a China origin?

Column 1 is only the first layer. On 24 of this code's 24 HTS lines the additional Chapter 99 duty for a China origin is also charged (Chapter 99 note family, Section 301 (China)), so the entry lands at 20% of the declared value -- before merchandise processing and harbour maintenance fees. The layer table on this page lists the provision behind each line and the duty on a $1,000 value, and the calculator prices any other origin or value one line at a time.

Where does this 220890 page get its numbers?

Rates, units and descriptions come verbatim from the USITC Harmonized Tariff Schedule export dated 2026-11-06; the import value and supplier shares come from the U.S. Census Bureau monthly trade series for September 2026. Both are named in the source line at the foot of the page, and neither is estimated by us.

How much does the US import under 220890?
