That is the 0% normal (MFN) rate plus Section 301 and IEEPA country programme, each of 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.
