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 MFN base rate of 2%, plus the Section 232 (auto parts) duty of 25%, plus the Section 301 (List 3) China tariff of 25%, plus the 10% Section 122 emergency tariff added February 2026, set to expire July 24, 2026. The Court of International Trade struck down Section 122 on May 7, 2026, but CBP is collecting it pending appeal. On a $1,000 shipment, that works out to around $620 in duties.
