Why do USB-C and HDMI cables pay more duty than power adapters?
Answers from the sources
Kestner Supply
“Because since 6 April 2026 they are articles of copper. HTS 8544.42.10, 8544.42.20, 8544.42.90 and 8544.49.10 are listed in HTSUS U.S. note 16(c)(viii), so a connectorized cable carries a 25% Section 232 copper duty on its full customs value under heading 9903.82.09 — from every origin, USMCA-originating Mexico included.”
