US import duty for any HTS code and country of origin, layer by layer, with the MPF and HMF.
Rates from the HTS 2026 Revision 23, read from the US International Trade Commission on 10 November 2026, for entries through 9 January 2027. Worked out in your browser; nothing you type is sent or stored.
Enter an HTS code or a product description, the country it is made in and its factory price, and get the US import duty layer by layer: the base rate, the China Section 301 lists and their exclusions, the 2026 Section 301 rate for the country of origin, the MPF and the HMF. A deck of cards from China pays 12.5%; a steel kitchen tool on List 3 pays 41.2% unless an exclusion covers it. An estimate, not a ruling: the classification that counts is the one CBP accepts.

US import duty is a percentage of the goods' customs value, and the percentage is a stack of separate duties. This tariff calculator adds them up the way a customs entry does:
Duty = customs value × (base rate + each additional duty that applies), plus any per-unit amounts. The calculator shows each layer with its heading, so you can check every line against the schedule and against your broker's entry.
The countries this calculator covers, and the 2026 duty on each, read from the headings of the HTS 2026 Revision 23:
| Country of origin | 2026 Section 301 duty (note 52) | Heading | China Section 301 lists |
|---|---|---|---|
| China | +12.5% on top of the General rate | 9903.05.31 | Yes: Lists 1 to 4A, exclusions, four-year review |
| Hong Kong | +12.5% on top of the General rate | 9903.05.43 | No |
| Vietnam | +12.5% on top of the General rate | 9903.05.84 | No |
| India | +10% on top of the General rate | 9903.05.44 | No |
| Indonesia | +10% on top of the General rate | 9903.05.45 | No |
| Taiwan | Tops the General rate up to 10%; nothing if it is already 10% or more | 9903.05.76, 9903.05.75 | No |
| Thailand | +12.5% on top of the General rate | 9903.05.77 | No |
| Malaysia | +10% on top of the General rate | 9903.05.54 | No |
| Cambodia | +10% on top of the General rate | 9903.05.28 | No |
| Bangladesh | +10% on top of the General rate | 9903.05.26 | No |
| Pakistan | +10% on top of the General rate | 9903.05.62 | No |
| Philippines | +12.5% on top of the General rate | 9903.05.64 | No |
| Sri Lanka | +10% on top of the General rate | 9903.05.72 | No |
| Türkiye | +12.5% on top of the General rate | 9903.05.79 | No |
| South Korea | Tops the General rate up to 12.5%; nothing if it is already 12.5% or more | 9903.05.71, 9903.05.70 | No |
| Japan | Tops the General rate up to 12.5%; nothing if it is already 12.5% or more | 9903.05.49, 9903.05.48 | No |
Japan, South Korea and Taiwan work differently: their duty brings the total up to a floor rather than adding to it, so a product whose General rate is already at the floor pays nothing more. For a country not named in note 52, choose "a country not named in note 52" and only the General rate applies. Cuba and North Korea pay the Column 2 rates. Not covered yet: Canada and Mexico (USMCA treatment and their own notes); Brazil (a separate Section 301 action, note 50); the European Union, the United Kingdom and Switzerland (country deals in notes 52 and the Section 232 notes); the CAFTA-DR countries (textile rules) and Russia (note 30).
Goods made in China pay the 12.5% above and, if their 8-digit code is on one of the 2018–2019 Section 301 lists in U.S. note 20 to Chapter 99, that list's duty too. We read the lists from the notes of the same revision:
| List | Heading | Rate | Codes |
|---|---|---|---|
| List 1 | 9903.88.01 | 25% | 856 |
| List 2 | 9903.88.02 | 25% | 283 |
| List 3 | 9903.88.03 | 25% | 5,917 |
| List 4A | 9903.88.15 | 7.5% | 2,963 |
| List 4B | 9903.88.16 | Suspended (0%) | 538 |
Some codes are on a list only in part: the notes name a subheading "except" certain 10-digit numbers, so the calculator checks the full 10-digit code. Exclusions are narrower still. Each covers a product described in words under one 10-digit number, such as "kitchen and table implements of iron or steel, non-electric". USTR has extended the 178 still in force through 9 January 2027. When your code has one, the calculator shows its wording and asks whether your product matches, because a code alone cannot answer that.
The four-year review (U.S. note 31) raised the Section 301 rate on some codes: 25% on non-EV lithium-ion batteries, natural graphite, permanent magnets and some steel, aluminium and minerals; 50% on semiconductors, solar cells, polysilicon and face masks; 100% on electric vehicles, syringes and needles, and rubber medical gloves. That rate replaces the list rate on those codes; it does not stack on it.
Products from businesses in our database, at the factory prices in their margin models, entered on 10 November 2026. The classification is ours, argued in how much tariffs add to Amazon products, with the CBP rulings it leans on.
| Product | HTS code | Made in | Customs value | The stack | Duty rate | Duty a unit |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Spite House Games: Deck of cards | 9504.40.00.00 | China | $0.47 | Free + List 4B (suspended) + 12.5% | 12.5% | $0.06 |
| OTOTO: Silicone spatula | 3924.10.40.00 | China | $1.40 | 3.4% + List 4B (suspended) + 12.5% | 15.9% | $0.22 |
| Doctor Jupiter: Science kit, made in China | 9503.00.00.73 | China | $3.25 | Free + List 4B (suspended) + 12.5% | 12.5% | $0.41 |
| Doctor Jupiter: Science kit, made in India | 9503.00.00.73 | India | $3.25 | Free + 10% | 10% | $0.33 |
| OTOTO: Steel corkscrew, no exclusion claimed | 8205.51.30.30 | China | $5.54 | 3.7% + List 3 25% + 12.5% | 41.2% | $2.28 |
| OTOTO: Steel corkscrew, with the List 3 exclusion | 8205.51.30.30 | China | $5.54 | 3.7% + List 3 excluded + 12.5% | 16.2% | $0.90 |
| Draft Top: Can opener, as a steel tool | 8210.00.00.00 | China | $1.37 | 3.7% + List 3 25% + 12.5% | 41.2% | $0.56 |
| Drinking glass valued $0.30–$3 | 7013.37.20.90 | China | $2.00 | 22.5% + List 4A 7.5% + 12.5% | 42.5% | $0.85 |
| OTOTO: Scissors | 8213.00.90.00 | China | $2.42 | 3¢ each + 3% + List 4B (suspended) + 12.5% | 16.74% | $0.41 |
The corkscrew shows why the exclusions matter: one sentence in note 20 takes the duty from 41.2% to 16.2%, about $1.38 a unit. The scissors show a compound rate: 3 cents a pair plus 3%, which on a $2.42 pair works out to 4.24% before the 12.5%.
CBP charges duty on the transaction value: what you pay the seller for the goods, not including international freight and insurance. On an FOB or EXW price the duty is charged on that price. On a CFR or CIF price, take out the freight and insurance it includes; the calculator does this when you choose the Incoterm.
Two things are added. Assists: moulds, tools and dies you supply or pay for are part of the value of the goods they make. The calculator spreads a mould's cost over the units it will make, which is one of the methods CBP accepts; agree the method with your broker. And packing, commissions and royalties you pay that are not already in the price.
To carry freight, the broker and the trip to Amazon into a cost per unit, use the landed cost calculator.
From CBP's user fee table, updated 9 October 2026. Entries under $2,500 can usually go in as informal entries, which pay a small flat MPF instead; the calculator shows the formal-entry fee. Both fees are on the whole entry, so a shipment of several products shares one MPF.
The $800 de minimis exemption is suspended: for courier and freight shipments since 24 June 2026, and for international mail since 24 July 2026. Samples and small restocks pay duty like a container does, which is why this calculator has no lower limit.
Of the 11,414 General rates in the schedule, 1,236 are something other than a percentage or "Free". A specific rate is an amount per unit ("3¢ each", "2.2¢/kg"); a compound rate is both ("3¢ each + 3%"). The calculator works out the 883 priced per item, per dozen, per gross, per pair or per kilogram (it asks for the weight of one unit). The rest, such as per-litre rates, rates "on the case" or "on the battery" of a watch, and rates on a metal's content, are shown as the schedule writes them, and the total says it leaves them out.
Some lines also carry a value band in their description, such as drinking glasses "valued over $0.30 but not over $3 each". A value outside the band means a different line, not a different rate, so the calculator warns you when your unit value does not fit the line you picked.
When the answer changes whether a product is worth selling, pay a customs broker to confirm it, or ask CBP for a binding ruling before you order. Search CBP's rulings (CROSS) at rulings.cbp.gov for a product like yours first.
Find the 10-digit HTS code, read its General rate, add any Chapter 99 duties for the country of origin (the China Section 301 lists, the 2026 Section 301 rate of note 52, Section 232 where it applies), and multiply the total by the customs value: normally the factory price, without international freight and insurance. Then add the MPF and, by sea, the HMF. The calculator above does each step and shows its working.
From 24 July 2026: the General rate, plus 12.5% under heading 9903.05.31, plus 25% if the code is on Section 301 List 1, 2 or 3, or 7.5% on List 4A. List 4B is suspended. Playing cards and toys come to 12.5%; plastic kitchenware 15.9%; steel kitchen tools on List 3 41.2%, unless a USTR exclusion covers them.
Yes. Type the code into the search box, with or without dots. If you type 6 or 8 digits, the calculator lists the 10-digit lines under them, because Section 301 partial listings and exclusions are written at 10 digits. You can also search by description.
Not on international freight and insurance. US customs value excludes them, so a CIF or CFR price has them taken off. You do pay duty on moulds and tooling you supply (assists), and on packing, commissions and royalties not already in the price.
The merchandise processing fee is 0.3464% of a formal entry's value, between $34.58 and $670.86. The harbor maintenance fee is 0.125% of the value of goods that arrive by sea. Both are CBP charges on top of duty; your broker's own fee is separate.
No. CBP suspended it for courier and freight shipments from 24 June 2026 and for international mail from 24 July 2026. Small parcels, samples and AliExpress or Temu orders now pay duty like any other import.
Section 301 lets USTR answer unfair trade practices: the 2018–2019 China lists, and since July 2026 the forced-labour duties of note 52 on most countries. Section 232 is the Commerce Department's national-security tariffs on sectors such as steel, aluminium, copper, cars and lumber. Section 301 duties stack on each other; where a Section 232 duty applies, the note-52 duty does not.
No. It is an estimate from the published schedule. Only CBP decides the classification, and a different code can change the duty several times over. For a binding answer, ask CBP for a ruling or hire a licensed customs broker; search existing rulings at CBP CROSS.
China, Hong Kong, Vietnam, India, Indonesia, Taiwan, Thailand, Malaysia, Cambodia, Bangladesh, Pakistan, Philippines, Sri Lanka, Türkiye, South Korea, Japan, any country not named in note 52, and the Column 2 countries. Not yet: Canada and Mexico (USMCA treatment and their own notes); Brazil (a separate Section 301 action, note 50); the European Union, the United Kingdom and Switzerland (country deals in notes 52 and the Section 232 notes); the CAFTA-DR countries (textile rules) and Russia (note 30).
They are the HTS 2026 Revision 23, read from the USITC on 10 November 2026. The calculator only answers for entry dates from 10 November 2026 to 9 January 2027, the day the current Section 301 exclusions end. We re-read the schedule when USITC publishes a new revision.
