A shipment of light fitting entering the United States from Mexico is classified under HTS code 9405.49.00.00 and pays 28.9% total import duty on its customs value. That is the 3.9% normal (MFN) rate plus IEEPA country programme, which is a separate heading in Chapter 99 of the tariff schedule. The duty is worked out on the customs value of the goods, which is normally what you paid for them; freight, insurance, customs brokerage and any merchandise processing fee come on top and are not included in the figure above.

Goods that qualify as originating under the USMCA enter free of this duty (heading 9903.01.04 / 9903.01.14).

What each of these duties is

Normal duty (MFN, column 1-General)

The normal duty is the column 1-General rate the Harmonized Tariff Schedule sets for this code. Every country the United States trades with normally pays it unless a trade agreement or a preference programme says otherwise.

IEEPA country programme

The IEEPA duty is a country programme added under emergency economic powers. It is charged on top of the normal rate and is keyed to the country of origin, not to the product.
