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 62.7% — the MFN base rate of 2.7%, the Section 232 (auto parts) duty of 25%, the Section 301 (List 3) China tariff of 25% (in effect since May 2019), and the 10% Section 122 emergency tariff added February 2026, set to expire July 24, 2026. On a $1,000 shipment, that's roughly $627 in duties. The Court of International Trade struck down Section 122 on May 7, 2026, but CBP is collecting it pending appeal.
