EU-origin goods are capped at the 15% all-inclusive EU-US deal ceiling instead. The top countries of origin for HTS 2009 imports include BR, MX, CA, AR, CL. Effective duty varies by source country based on trade agreements (USMCA, KORUS) and tariff programs — see the per-country tariff rates by country for how BR compares.
