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.

ACFTAC/O EGeneral rule applies

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.

b) Is produced entirely in the territory of one or more Member countries exclusively from originating materials;

c) Is produced entirely in the territory of one or more Member countries using non-originating materials, provided that the good satisfies all applicable requirements set out in Appendix I issued together with this Circular.

The agreement sets a general rule for codes outside the annex:

1. General origin criterion

a) Goods specified in Clause 2 of Article 2 shall be considered as originating in the Member State where the working or processing of those goods has taken place if:

- The goods have a regional value content (hereinafter referred to as the “Viet Nam - Laos value content” or the “regional value content (LVC)”) of not less than forty percent (40%), calculated in accordance with the formula provided in Article 5; or

- All non-originating materials used in the production of those goods have undergone a change in tariff classification (hereinafter referred to as “CTC”) at the four (4)-digit level (meaning a change of heading) of the Harmonized System.

b) Each Member State shall allow the exporter of the goods to decide to use either of the two criteria “LVC of not less than forty percent (40%)” or “change in tariff classification at the four (04)-digit level” referred to at point a of Clause 1 in order to determine the origin of the goods.

Vietnam trade in subheading 1302.20

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.

20232024Change
Exports2,996 USD18,106 USD+504%
Imports8 mn USD9 mn USD+1%
  • Exports 2023: partners reported 2,996 USD where Vietnam reported 3,000 USD — 1.00× on this measure.
  • Imports 2023: partners reported 8 mn USD where Vietnam reported 10 mn USD — 0.82× 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 1302.20 is the same subheading in both schedules. What differs is how each country splits it: below are the 1 US line under 1302.20.

US HTS codeDescriptionGeneral duty
1302.20.00.00Pectic substances, pectinates and pectates(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.

Already terminated: 9903.01.72 +46%

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.

For reference only — classification on import is decided by US Customs, and anti-dumping, countervailing and Section 232/301 measures are not covered here.
