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 60% — the MFN base rate is free, but three measures stack on top: the Section 232 (auto parts) tariff of 25% (effective May 2025), Section 301 (List 3) of 25% (in place since 2019), and a 10% Section 122 emergency tariff added February 2026, set to expire July 24, 2026. The Court of International Trade struck down Section 122 on May 7, 2026, but CBP is collecting it pending appeal. On a $1,000 shipment, that's roughly $600 in duties.
