9903.85.67 Russian Aluminum: 200% Duty Rate, Scope, and Stacking

Key Points

• HTS 9903.85.67 imposes a 200 percent additional duty on aluminum articles (Chapter 76) that are the product of Russia, effective 2023-03-10 with no announced end date.
• The duty applies based on Russian origin, not country of shipment: goods smelted and cast in Russia, or of unknown smelt-and-cast provenance, can trigger the rate regardless of where they were shipped from.
• This code was created under Proclamation 10522 and continues under the 2026 Consolidated Metal 232 regime.
• A companion code, 9903.85.68, covers Russian-origin aluminum derivative articles at the same 200 percent rate, effective 2023-04-10.
• A data-migration correction effective 2026-04-06 clarified that the 2023-03-10 origin arm applies retroactively to Russian-origin Chapter 76 entries dating from 2023 onward; entries from that period without a provenance declaration may need review.

HTS 9903.85.67 is the Chapter 99 tariff code that imposes a 200 percent additional duty on aluminum articles classified in Chapter 76 that are the product of Russia. The code took effect on 2023-03-10 under Proclamation 10522 and has been continued without an announced end date under the 2026 Consolidated Metal 232 regime. Any importer bringing in Chapter 76 aluminum goods with Russian smelt-and-cast provenance, or goods of unknown provenance, must declare this code on every affected entry.

What 9903.85.67 covers and what program created it

The official heading text for 9903.85.67 reads: Russian aluminum articles; 200%. The code sits in the 9903.85 block of the Harmonized Tariff Schedule, which is reserved for metal-era Chapter 232 measures. The specific arm for Russian-origin primary aluminum articles was established by Proclamation 10522 and is carried forward under the Consolidated Metal 232 program.

The product scope is all aluminum articles classifiable in Chapter 76 of the HTSUS. That chapter covers unwrought aluminum, aluminum powders and flakes, aluminum bars, rods, wire, plates, sheets, strip, foil, tubes, pipes, fittings, structures, and other aluminum articles. If your goods fall in Chapter 76 and they are of Russian origin, 9903.85.67 applies.

The 200 percent rate and its effective window

The additional duty rate is 200 percent ad valorem. This rate became effective on 2023-03-10 and has no announced end date as of 2026-08-29. There is no scheduled step-down, no quota mechanism, and no publicly announced sunset under the current Consolidated Metal 232 regime. Until CBP or the White House publish a modification, every qualifying entry is subject to the full 200 percent.

The companion code 9903.85.68, which covers Russian-origin aluminum derivative articles, carries the same 200 percent rate but took effect on 2023-04-10, one month later. If your product is a downstream derivative rather than a primary Chapter 76 article, confirm whether 9903.85.68 is the correct code to use. This article addresses 9903.85.67 only.

Country and product scope: origin controls, not shipment controls

The critical compliance point for 9903.85.67 is that the duty is triggered by Russian origin, not by the country from which the goods were shipped. Specifically, smelt-and-cast provenance is the determining factor. Goods that were smelted and cast in Russia are treated as Russian-origin aluminum for purposes of this code, even if they were subsequently processed, transformed, or shipped through a third country before arriving in the United States.

Equally important: goods of unknown smelt-and-cast provenance can also trigger the code. If an importer cannot document where the aluminum was smelted and cast, CBP may treat the goods as potentially of Russian origin and assess the 200 percent duty. Importers and brokers should obtain mill certificates, certificates of origin, and supply-chain documentation that trace metal back to the point of smelting and casting, not just to the country of the last substantial transformation.

The country code that activates this rule in the tariff schedule is RU. The effective period runs from 2023-03-10 onward with no announced end date.

The 2026 Consolidated Metal 232 continuation

The 2026 Consolidated Metal 232 regime consolidated a large number of Section 232 metal measures, country-specific arms, and derivative duties into a reorganized Chapter 99 block. HTS 9903.85.67 was carried forward into that consolidated structure as an active, continuing measure. The 2026 continuation did not reset the effective date or alter the rate. The code remains 200 percent, the scope remains Russian-origin Chapter 76 aluminum articles, and the governing authority remains Proclamation 10522.

The 2026-04-06 correction and its entry implications

A data-migration correction was applied effective 2026-04-06 (migration reference 202607301700) to clarify that the 9903.85.67 origin arm, with its 2023-03-10 effective date, governs Russian-origin Chapter 76 entries from 2023 onward. Before this correction was applied, the consolidated-era continuation row in the automated system showed a 2026 date, which created ambiguity: Russian-origin Chapter 76 entries filed between 2023-03-10 and the 2026 consolidation date were left without a confirmed provenance declaration in some records.

In practical terms, this means entries for Russian-origin or unknown-provenance Chapter 76 aluminum filed from 2023-03-10 onward should carry 9903.85.67. If your broker's ACE records for that period do not reflect a provenance declaration, those entries may require a post-entry amendment or a protest, depending on when they were liquidated. Confirm open liquidation windows with your broker before taking action. For context on how ACE reports Chapter 98 and 99 codes, see our article on CBP Updates ACE HTS Reporting Order for Chapter 98 and 99 Classifications.

How 9903.85.67 stacks with other duties

The 200 percent additional duty under 9903.85.67 stacks on top of, and does not replace, other applicable duties. The full landed-duty stack for a Russian-origin Chapter 76 aluminum article typically includes:

• Column 1 general rate: the standard MFN ad valorem or specific duty for the Chapter 76 subheading, applied to entered value.
• 9903.85.67 additional duty: 200 percent on entered value, on top of the Column 1 rate.
• Any applicable antidumping or countervailing duties: assessed separately if an ADD/CVD order covers the specific product and Russia as a country of origin. Confirm current orders at CBP's ADD/CVD lookup.
• Merchandise Processing Fee and Harbor Maintenance Fee: applied in the normal course regardless of additional duties.

Note that Russia is not eligible for USMCA treatment, so no USMCA aluminum exemption applies. For background on how exemption codes interact with the broader 232 structure, see our articles on 9903.82.19 Consolidated Metal 232: Aluminum Exemption Heading.

How this code appears on a customs entry

Like all Chapter 99 codes, 9903.85.67 rides alongside the base Chapter 1-97 classification on the entry summary. A typical line for a Russian-origin aluminum extrusion might look like this:

• Line classification: 7604.29.3160 (or whichever Chapter 76 subheading applies)
• Additional Chapter 99 line: 9903.85.67, entered value repeated, 200% additional duty assessed

Both lines must appear on the entry summary (CBP Form 7501). The Chapter 76 line carries the entered value and the standard Column 1 duty; the 9903.85.67 line carries the same entered value and the 200 percent additional duty. CBP's ACE system requires both to be reported, and the order of reporting matters. Confirm current ACE reporting order requirements with CBP or your software vendor.

What importers should do

• Audit supply-chain provenance documentation now. Obtain mill certificates and certificates of origin that trace aluminum to the point of smelting and casting. If provenance is unknown or cannot be documented, treat the goods as subject to 9903.85.67 and price accordingly.
• Review past entries filed from 2023-03-10 onward. Given the 2026-04-06 correction, confirm with your broker that all Chapter 76 entries involving Russian-origin or unknown-provenance aluminum from that date forward correctly declared 9903.85.67. Identify any entries still within an open liquidation window.
• Stack all duties before contracting. Model the full duty stack, including Column 1 rates, the 200 percent 9903.85.67 additional duty, and any ADD/CVD deposits, before signing purchase agreements for Chapter 76 aluminum that may have Russian provenance.
• Verify the current HTSUS text at liquidation time. Confirm the code, rate, and scope in the live HTSUS on the USITC website or with your broker at the time of each entry, as Chapter 99 codes can be modified by proclamation with short notice.
