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 50% — the MFN base rate is Free, with the balance driven by Section 301 (List 1) at 25%, the Section 232 (Annex III) measure at 15%, and the Section 122 emergency tariff at 10%, set to expire July 24, 2026. A May 2026 Court of International Trade ruling found Section 122 to exceed presidential authority, but CBP continues collecting it pending appeal. On a $1,000 shipment, that's roughly $500 in duties.

Estimates only — not legal or customs advice.
This estimate models the Section 232 measure as a flat 15%. The measure actually applies to the combined duty rate rather than as a separate line — a detail Portigo does not yet compute exactly — so the total shown may be slightly overstated, typically by 0–3%.
The Section 301 rate shown is the full List rate. Active USTR product exclusions may reduce or remove it for specific products — check the USTR exclusion portal and confirm with a licensed customs broker.
