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 currently carry a combined tariff of approximately 62% — the 2% MFN base rate, plus the 25% Section 232 (Annex I-B) tariff effective April 2026, plus the 25% Section 301 (List 3) China tariff in place since 2019, plus a 10% Section 122 emergency tariff added February 2026, set to expire July 24, 2026. On a $1,000 shipment, that works out to roughly $620 in duties. The Court of International Trade struck down Section 122 on May 7, 2026, but CBP is collecting it pending appeal.
