10% tier
Applies to specified economies that adopted, committed to adopt, or established a partial forced-labor import prohibition. Use the USTR Notice for the controlling economy list.
Section 301 forced-labor tariffs: resolve the origin tier, then the product rules
USTR announced final action on July 23, 2026, imposing 10% or 12.5% Section 301 duties on most goods of 60 economies, subject to product exemptions, net-of-MFN caps, and an in-transit exception. The regime cannot be reduced to “origin country × one flat rate.”

Net-of-MFN caps
MFN plus this Section 301 layer is capped at 10% for the European Union and Taiwan, and 12.5% for Japan, Korea, and Switzerland. If MFN already meets the threshold, this layer is zero.
Other investigated economies
Other investigated economies generally receive the 12.5% tier, subject to product exemptions and other controlling instructions.
Section 232 exclusion
Articles and parts already subject to Section 232 tariffs are outside this action. Product-level Section 232 and Chapter 99 review still controls applicability.
Why entry timing belongs in the resolver
The additional duties apply to goods entered for consumption, or withdrawn from warehouse for consumption, on or after July 24, 2026 at 12:01 a.m. ET. The Notice provides an exception for qualifying goods already loaded and in transit before that time and entered before July 28, 2026 at 12:01 a.m. ET.
Product exemptions are not a code-only Boolean
Annexes I and II contain product exemptions that can carry economy, scope, and other conditions. Until the annexes are imported as structured source records, TariffsChart will not return a final exemption conclusion from an HTS code alone.
Current product boundary
Public lookup now publishes only a source-backed HTS general-duty field. Section 301, Section 232, AD/CVD, quotas, exemptions, and Chapter 99 remain unresolved layers; no final total is published until every layer is directly bound to its official document, effective window, and scope.
