Measured from official duty receipts, not the rulebook: the statutory MFN base rate on this code is 4%. Over the window the rate on the taxed portion moved 4% → 14%, with the largest single step -6.8pp in 2026-03. Measured from official US duty receipts · as-of 2026-06 · confidence: measured, not modelled.
