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 60% — the MFN base rate is Free, but Section 301 (List 3) adds 25% (in place since May 2019), Section 232 (Annex I-B) adds 25% (effective April 2026), and the Section 122 emergency surcharge adds 10%, set to expire July 24, 2026. On a $1,000 shipment, that's roughly $600 in duties. The Court of International Trade struck down Section 122 on May 7, 2026, but CBP is collecting it pending appeal.
