Historical GCC reference published by Kuwait Public Authority for Industry, not a consolidated current Kuwait duty. The workbook is labelled 2022; the authority links it for the 2025 code transition. Neither label establishes a 2026 rate or a line-level effective date. Later amendments, national exceptions, trade remedies, preferential origin and import permissions require separate confirmation.

The product description in the Kuwait PAI workbook differs from the existing reference. A matching code alone does not resolve the product scope; no duty is quoted pending confirmation.
