How many exemptions are listed as exempting goods from the general rule of Section 104?

• A. 7
• B. 6
• C. 9
• D. 8

Answer: (C)

The main idea is that Section 104 starts with a general rule about duties on imports, then lists specific carve-outs that are exempt from that rule. There are nine separate exemptions enumerated in the section, so the correct count is nine. To verify, read the text and count each listed exemption as its own item; the total you’ll find is nine. This means any import falling into one of those nine categories does not follow the general duty rule.
