2026 HTS Revision 9: Taiwan Auto Parts and Wood Capped at 15%

At a glance

2026 HTS Revision 9 caps the Section 232 tariff on Taiwan auto parts, upholstered wood furniture, kitchen cabinets and vanities at 15% including the regular duty, down from an extra 25%, and exempts certified Taiwan civil aircraft components from the metals duties. Everything is effective May 1, 2026, four weeks before the revision was published. It brings Taiwan into the deal structure that Japan, the EU and South Korea already had, carrying out the Section 232 terms of the January 15, 2026 Taiwan-U.S. investment MOU.

What changed for Taiwan in Revision 9

Taiwan auto parts: 15% including the regular duty

New U.S. note 33(u) and four new headings set the treatment for passenger vehicle and light truck parts that are products of Taiwan:

Headings 9903.94.05 and 9903.94.07, the general 25% auto parts headings, now list the Taiwan headings as exceptions. Under note 33(u), Taiwan parts entered under these headings also don't pay the Section 232 metals duties or the wood duties.

Taiwan wood products: 15%

New heading 9903.76.24 covers wood products of Taiwan in subdivisions (d) and (f) of U.S. note 37, at 15%. Those are upholstered wood furniture and kitchen cabinets and vanities. Notes 37(c) and (e) now exclude Taiwan from 9903.76.02 and 9903.76.03, the 25% headings.

Taiwan civil aircraft components: exempt from metals duties

New note 35(c) says the duties in 9903.82.02 and 9903.82.04 to 9903.82.19 don't apply to civil aircraft components of Taiwan that meet the criteria of General Note 6 and are classified in the listed provisions. New heading 9903.96.03 ("No change" in every column) is how you claim it.

Cross-references and wording

• The Section 122 exemption in note 2(aa)(v) now lists 9903.94.66 to 9903.94.69 and 9903.76.24.
• Note 39(a) keeps semiconductors under 9903.79.01 clear of the new Taiwan auto parts headings.
• UK headings 9903.94.31, 9903.94.32 and 9903.96.01 now read "on or after June 30, 2025". That's a wording fix with no duty effect.
