Narrow source-backed beta

Section 232 steel tariff calculator coverage

TariffCalc now calculates one exact slice: China-origin goods under a complete 10-digit HTS code beginning 7208, using Chapter 99 heading 9903.82.02 at 50% of full customs value. Every other Section 232 family remains review required or outside automatic coverage.

Calculate an HTS 7208 import

Implemented rule

China-origin primary flat-rolled steel under HTS 7208

The current official HTS places heading 7208 primary steel within the relevant Section 232 scope. For the implemented China-origin slice, the beta uses 9903.82.02 and applies 50% to the full entered customs value. The ordinary HTS duty and any supported Section 301 amount remain separate calculation components.

Current boundary

What TariffCalc does now

Included 10-digit HTS 7208 and China origin

Uses the published 2026 HTS Revision 12 schedule, 9903.82.02, a 50% rate and full customs value.

Included Separate Section 232 calculation line

The result shows the Chapter 99 heading, rate, taxable basis, formula, amount, required entry lines and official sources.

Review Every origin other than China

Other origins can require different headings, rates or conditions. An HTS 7208 result stops at review required instead of presenting zero.

Review All other products and special treatment

Other steel, aluminum, copper, derivatives, exclusions, quotas and special origin tiers are not automated.

Exact calculation contract

When the beta is allowed to calculate

Required Complete classification

A published 10-digit ordinary HTS code beginning 7208. A shorter heading or a code outside 7208 is not calculated by this rule.

Required China origin and supported date

Country of origin must be China and the date must be covered by the published 2026 HTS Revision 12 schedule.

Required Full customs value

The Section 232 component is customs value multiplied by 50%. The beta does not estimate or allocate material content.

Conditional No inferred exception

The rule does not infer an exclusion, quota, alternative country treatment or derivative-product treatment.

Reliability boundary

Why the coverage remains beta

  1. The deterministic code, origin, date, rate and basis contract is locked.
  2. Positive, non-China and incomplete-code fixtures are included.
  3. Automated tests must reproduce the separate Section 232 and Section 301 components.
  4. A qualified customs professional must still approve the fixtures and warning language.
  5. Target-hosting MySQL and Apache workflows must pass before a production label.

The source-backed amount is an estimate, not filing advice. If any locked fact is missing or mismatched, the engine returns review required rather than silently treating Section 232 as zero.
