8543.70.8800 · imported from China

Imports from China currently carry a 10% duty — the MFN base rate is Free, but the Section 122 emergency tariff, added February 2026, applies at 10% and is set to expire July 24, 2026. On a $1,000 shipment, that works out to approximately $100 in duties. The Court of International Trade struck down Section 122 on May 7, 2026, but CBP is collecting it pending appeal.
