Agreements with no rule specific to this code
This code carries a preferential rate under the agreements below but has no line of its own in the product-specific rules annex. The goods must still meet an origin requirement.
The agreement sets a general rule for codes outside the annex:
1. The goods referred to in Clause 3, Article 5 of this Circular, other than the goods provided in Clause 2 of this Article, are considered originating if:
a) The goods have a regional value content (RVC) of not less than 40% of the FOB value calculated in accordance with Article 8 of this Circular and the last production process is carried out in a Member State; or
b) Goods of Chapters 25, 26, 28, 29, 31 and 39; Chapters 42 to 49; Chapters 57 to 59; Chapters 61, 62 and 64; Chapters 66 to 71; Chapters 73 to 83; Chapters 86 and 88; and Chapters 91 to 97 of the Harmonized Commodity Description and Coding System using non-originating materials undergo a change in tariff classification at the 4-digit level (CTH), except for headings 29.01, 29.02, 31.05, 39.01, 39.02, 39.03, 39.07 and 39.08, to which the RVC 40% origin criterion applies.

2024: as reported by partner countries
Vietnam has not filed 2024 yet, so this is rebuilt from what its 19 largest trading partners reported about trade with Vietnam (85% of Vietnam's trade). Not the same measure as the figures above — compare it only with the 2023 row beside it.
| Flow | 2023 | 2024 | Change |
|---|---|---|---|
| Exports | 2 mn USD | 5 mn USD | +126% |
| Imports | 8 mn USD | 11 mn USD | +49% |
- Exports 2023: partners reported 2 mn USD where Vietnam reported 2 mn USD — 0.92× on this measure.
- Imports 2023: partners reported 8 mn USD where Vietnam reported 7 mn USD — 1.11× on this measure.
The gap is not a rounding difference: goods re-exported through Hong Kong or Singapore, a different heading chosen by the importing customs, and origin-based versus destination-based attribution all pull the two measures apart. Use the year-on-year change, not the level.

Corresponding US tariff lines
Six digits are identical worldwide under the HS Convention, so 0904.22 is the same subheading in both schedules. What differs is how each country splits it: below are the 5 US lines under 0904.22.
| US HTS code | Description | General duty |
|---|---|---|
| 0904.22.20.00 | Fruits of the genus Capsicum or of the genus Pimenta › Crushed or ground › Of the genus Capsicum (including cayenne Pepper, paprika and red pepper) › Paprika(kg) | 3¢/kg |
| 0904.22.40.00 | Fruits of the genus Capsicum or of the genus Pimenta › Crushed or ground › Of the genus Capsicum (including cayenne Pepper, paprika and red pepper) › Anaheim and ancho pepper(kg) | 5¢/kg |
| 0904.22.73.00 | Fruits of the genus Capsicum or of the genus Pimenta › Crushed or ground › Of the genus Capsicum (including cayenne Pepper, paprika and red pepper) › Mixtures of mashed or macerated hot red peppers and salt(kg) | Free |
| 0904.22.76.00 | Fruits of the genus Capsicum or of the genus Pimenta › Crushed or ground › Of the genus Capsicum (including cayenne Pepper, paprika and red pepper) › Other(kg) | 5¢/kg |
| 0904.22.80.00 | Fruits of the genus Capsicum or of the genus Pimenta › Crushed or ground › Of the genus Pimenta (including allspice)(kg) | Free |
Additional Chapter 99 duties apply to goods of Vietnam
- 9903.02.69 +20% — The duty provided in the applicable subheading + 20%
- 9903.05.84 +12.5% — The duty provided in the applicable subheading + 12.5%
These are added to the General duty above, not in place of it. Whether a given article falls inside their scope — and the exclusion lists — is set out in the U.S. notes to Chapter 99, which are prose and not machine-readable, so this site does not assign them per code. Check the official schedule before quoting a landed cost.

The General column is the rate for Vietnam: the Special column lists US preference programmes (GSP, USMCA, KORUS…) and Vietnam is in none of them. Source: USITC Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States — 2026 HTS Revision 13. For reference only — classification on import is decided by US Customs, and anti-dumping, countervailing and Section 232/301 measures are not covered here.
Corresponding Japanese tariff lines
0904.22 is the same subheading in both schedules (six digits are identical worldwide under the HS Convention). Vietnamese goods can enter Japan under four parallel preference routes — the columns below — and the exporter picks whichever C/O gives the better rate.
| Line | Description | MFN | VJEPA | AJCEP | CPTPP | RCEP |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 0904.22-100 | Crushed or ground › 1 Put up in containers for retail sale(KG) | 6% | Free | Free | Free | 3.8% |
| 0904.22-200 | Crushed or ground › 2 Other(KG) | Free | Free | Free | Free | Free |
MFN is the lowest of the schedule's General/Temporary/WTO columns (hover to see all three). The preference columns require the matching certificate of origin; an em dash means that agreement gives no preference for the line. Source: Japan's Tariff Schedule, Japan Customs (as of July 9, 2026). For reference only — classification on import is decided by Japan Customs.
