- How do I check if HTS 8479 qualifies for a Section 301 exclusion?
- Most machinery (Chapter 84) and electronics (Chapter 85) lines from China are covered by Section 301 List 1–4 overlays. USTR publishes exclusions with specific product descriptions — matching by HTS code alone is not sufficient, the product must meet the exclusion description. Check USTR exclusion databases and the latest Federal Register notices.

- Is this the binding duty determination?
- No. This page is a reference built on USITC + Federal Register open data. The binding classification and duty amount is determined by CBP at entry. AD/CVD and product-specific exclusions require separate review.
