Last updated: July 2026 dataGoods exported under this heading are humanitarian or charitable donations not elsewhere specified — a classification used primarily for statistical tracking of US outbound relief shipments rather than for duty assessment. The single tariff line (9802400000) captures a wide range of donated merchandise, from food aid to medical supplies, that does not fit a more specific export schedule B category. Accurate classification here supports USAID, NGO, and disaster-response logistics reporting, and exporters should ensure export documentation clearly identifies the donative nature of the shipment to satisfy EEI filing requirements.

No. The HTS classification is used for statistical purposes and does not override EAR, ITAR, or other export control requirements. Donated goods that are otherwise controlled still require the appropriate export license or license exception before shipment.
Exporters should include a letter or certificate from the donating organization confirming the charitable purpose, along with a standard commercial or pro-forma invoice noting zero sale value. The Electronic Export Information (EEI) filing in AES must reflect the donative nature of the transaction.
