Tariff Data
This page contains the data that Miguel Acosta and Lydia Cox have put together
for the paper The Regressive Nature of the U.S. Tariff Code: Origins and Implications (which is the appropriate reference for these data). We will continue to populate the page with more data as it is ready.

We have constructed a concordance from 1989 HTS codes to 1987 TSUS codes.

1989-1996 MFN and Column-2 Tariff Rates
We have digitized U.S. tariffs for all HTS products from 1989 to 1996 from the original source files. This corrects some
missing specific tariffs in the work of Feenstra, Romalis, and Schott.
