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 50%, driven entirely by the Section 301 (sector) charge of 50% — the MFN base rate is free. The Section 301 rate took effect September 27, 2024, following the USTR four-year review that raised duties for this product category. On a $1,000 shipment, that works out to roughly $500 in duties.
