A word of counsel

The most common error on this tariff line is treating copper rivets as freely importable under Chapter 74 and bypassing the TRQ allocation step. The TRQ of 10,000 MT applies at the Chapter level — covering both Chapter 74 and CTH 8544 — so cumulative imports across the product group exhaust the quota faster than importers anticipate; a consignment arriving after quota exhaustion for the relevant financial year faces refusal of clearance, not merely a duty differential.
