NBR's import statements also record one code under this chapter that the published Operative Tariff 2026-2027 does not list (83026090). Those figures are included in the totals above but have no tariff page here, because there is no published rate to show.

That is 66.3% of everything imported under this chapter: most of this trade never pays the duty rates shown above.

Import figures: NBR Import Statements (IM-4 commercial, IM-7 bonded), December 2025 – May 2026. Assessable value is the customs value on which duty is charged, not the retail or invoice price.
