The rates in this summary are the full program rates as the calculator computes them; one or more may not apply to your shipment — the conditions are noted below.

Imports from China carry a combined tariff of approximately 63.3% — the MFN base rate of 3.3%, plus 25% under Section 232 (auto parts, effective May 2025), plus 25% under Section 301 (List 3), plus a 10% Section 122 emergency tariff added February 2026, set to expire July 24, 2026. On a $1,000 shipment, that's roughly $633 in duties. The Court of International Trade struck down Section 122 on May 7, 2026, but CBP is collecting it pending appeal.
