Description
Use the smaller of quantity and quotaRemaining as inQuotaQuantity and the positive excess as outQuotaQuantity.
A specific duty is an amount per unit, while an ad valorem rate is a fraction of a valuation base. Quotas and input-output adjustments introduce additional supplied assumptions.
Use the smaller of quantity and quotaRemaining as inQuotaQuantity and the positive excess as outQuotaQuantity.
When to use this tool
Use Tariff Rate Quota Two Tier Cost Term when you need a tariff or quota-model arithmetic component.
How to use the tool and how it works
- Enter quantity, quotaRemaining, inQuotaRate, outQuotaRate, customsValuePerUnit. Use the units and conventions below.
- Run the tool. Correct any format, range, or cross-field input error before interpreting the output.
- Read inQuotaQuantity, outQuotaQuantity, duty. Use the output convention below.
Use the smaller of quantity and quotaRemaining as inQuotaQuantity and the positive excess as outQuotaQuantity. Multiply each by its fractional rate and customsValuePerUnit for duty.1

}Limitations and assumptions
- Quota availability, valuation, and rates are supplied; no customs classification, allocation entitlement, exemptions, or legal liability is determined.
- Inputs must satisfy both the field types and the cross-field conditions above. Invalid input causes an error; a successful false flag or documented placeholder is a different result.
- Numeric calculations use binary floating point unless exact decimal-integer arithmetic is explicitly stated. No hidden measurement tolerance or decimal rounding is added; nonfinite or out-of-contract results are rejected. Numeric signed-zero results are exported as zero.
Alternative or Complementary methods
Verify classification, origin, valuation, quota allocation, and current law with the responsible customs professional.
