Section 301 vs. Section 232 vs. Section 122: July 2026 Status
Section 122 is historical after its stated endpoint; Section 301 and Section 232 remain event- and product-specific.
No universal current U.S. tariff rate is available from country of origin alone.
Classification, product scope, origin, entry time, MFN treatment, Section 232 status, and exemptions can change the result. When any required selector is missing, the safe output is indeterminate / review required.
What the reviewed sources support
- Section 122: Proclamation 11012 reached its stated endpoint at 12:01 a.m. EDT on July 24.
- Section 301 now includes distinct Brazil and forced-labor actions in addition to legacy programs; each has its own scope.
- Section 232 remains product-specific. Never add these authorities mechanically without checking their interaction rules.
What to do before pricing or filing
- Confirm the complete HTS classification and the product description used for entry.
- Check the current HTSUS and controlling Chapter 99 notes for the entry date.
- Evaluate product schedules, transition rules, Section 232 interaction, and exclusions.
- Keep the result in review-required state until every selector and source is resolved.
The Attahir Labs rate table and TariffShield use fail-closed containment while the legacy country snapshots lack current row-level provenance. They must not supply a current numeric customs result.
