Range of the Chapter 99 duties (percent of customs value) across the lines of this heading. A range means the result differs between lines or depends on facts about the goods; an asterisk marks lines whose duty also depends on a specific (per unit) base rate. Other origins (Japan, South Korea, Taiwan, India, United Kingdom and any other country): in the calculator and the API.
