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 carry a combined tariff of approximately 62.7% — the MFN base rate of 2.7%, Section 232 (auto parts) at 25%, Section 301 (List 1) at 25%, and the 10% Section 122 emergency tariff, set to expire July 24, 2026. On a $1,000 shipment, that works out to roughly $627 in duties. A May 2026 Court of International Trade ruling found Section 122 to exceed presidential authority; CBP continues collecting pending the government's appeal.
