U.S. imports of Goods Returned to Canada / U.S. Goods Reimported (6-Digit) (NAICS 980000) totaled $9.8B in August 2026, imported from 185 countries.
Importers of Goods Returned to Canada / U.S. Goods Reimported (6-Digit) paid $4.7M in duties in August 2026, an average duty rate of 0.05% — duty actually collected as a share of the imports that cleared customs, not the published tariff schedule.
Last updated: August 2026 dataThe six-digit statistical expansion of the goods-returned category used in U.S. Census Bureau trade data, covering merchandise returned to Canada on export declarations and reimported U.S.-origin goods on import entries. At this level of detail the code functions as a data-reconciliation tool rather than a tariff classification, helping analysts isolate return flows from genuine new-trade volumes in bilateral U.S.-Canada statistics. Trade professionals working with automated export system (AES) filings or ACE import entries should verify that the correct directional use — export return to Canada versus U.S. goods reimported — is applied consistently to maintain data integrity.

Unlike Schedule B or HTS codes that describe the physical nature of merchandise, 980000 is a Census Bureau statistical provision that identifies the transaction type — a return or reimportation — rather than the product itself. It does not carry a standard duty rate and is not used for tariff assessment purposes.
Exporters generally need the original import or purchase documentation, proof that the goods are being returned to the Canadian supplier or owner, and a completed Electronic Export Information (EEI) filing in AES citing this statistical code. A licensed customs broker or freight forwarder can confirm current CBP and Census Bureau filing requirements.
