Hair dryers 8516.31.0000 · imported from China
Imports from China carry a combined tariff of approximately 13.9% — the MFN base rate of 3.9%, 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 $139 in duties. The Court of International Trade struck down Section 122 on May 7, 2026, but CBP is collecting it pending appeal.

What else affects this line Forced-labor (UFLPA) detention risk Electronics of Chinese origin carry significant UFLPA exposure — particularly polysilicon-based solar cells and modules, and finished electronics whose component materials are sourced from the Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region. CBP actively enforces against solar imports under the rebuttable presumption. Verify polysilicon and component provenance.
You may be owed a CAPE refund
Imports from this origin were subject to IEEPA emergency duties between 2025-02-04 and 2026-02-20.
The Supreme Court ruled IEEPA does not authorize tariffs, and CBP's CAPE process can refund
IEEPA duties paid on past entries. This does not affect Section 301, 232, 122, or fees.
