The stickers pointed at Mexico

These are the Chapter 99 measures whose scope names this origin — the trade war’s add-on codes, each with the Federal Register document that created it. They do not sum: which ones reach a given product is set list by list, and some of those lists were published as PDF attachments we have not machine-read yet. Absence from this table is never proof of exemption; the citation is what settles it. What was actually collected is the number at the top of this page.
