US import tariffs - current status
Current policy status: China
China-origin imports need a source-backed layer check before you estimate landed cost.
Last verified2026-05-12
The current planning stack starts with the temporary Section 122 surcharge, then checks China-specific Section 301 lists and product-specific Section 232 coverage. Do not add every policy card blindly: Section 122 does not apply in addition to Section 232 goods.
Use this as a policy map, not a final duty quote. The actual entry rate depends on HTS classification, Chapter 99 notes, product exclusions, valuation, AD/CVD, quota, and broker review.

Fact check
Official-source review path for China
Tariff research should not rely on one average number. These sources separate HTS base rates, Section 301 actions, CBP filing guidance, formal notices, and country-level macro data.
HTS / base dutyVerified: 2026-06-07
USITC HTS is the official entry point for HTS codes and Column 1 rates
Use it to verify HTS classification, product descriptions, general Column 1 duty rates, special rates, and Chapter 99 notes.
- Does not prove
- It does not automatically decide origin, Section 301/232, AD/CVD, quotas, or a specific customs entry.
China Section 301Verified: 2026-06-07
USTR maintains China Section 301 lists, four-year review actions, and exclusions
Use it to decide whether China-origin goods need a List 1/2/3/4, four-year-review, or exclusion-extension check.
- Does not prove
- Section 301 depends on country of origin and HTS classification; do not infer it from export country or supplier location alone.
CBP filing guidanceVerified: 2026-06-07
CBP FAQ confirms Section 301 is origin-based and points importers to rulings
CBP FAQ helps review Hong Kong/Macau, drawback, Chapter 98, FTZ, sets, and ruling questions.
- Does not prove
- The FAQ is filing guidance, not a binding classification for your SKU; high-risk shipments still need broker review or a CBP ruling.
Official noticesVerified: 2026-06-07
Federal Register is the formal publication channel for tariff notices and effective dates
Use it to confirm proclamations, notices, effective dates, comment dockets, and formal legal text.
- Does not prove
- Notices are usually policy- or product-scope documents; they do not directly calculate a shipment landed cost.
Country averagesVerified: 2026-06-07
World Bank/WITS and WTO TTD are useful for country comparison, not final shipment duty
World Bank indicators summarize applied/MFN averages; WTO TTD / IDB adds more product-level tariff-line context.
- Does not prove
- These datasets usually lag current policy and do not include every Chapter 99, AD/CVD, quota, or origin-rule issue.

Data scope note
Latest available annual indicator: 2022
These country-level rates come from annual macro indicators. They answer searches such as “tariff rates by country” and “historical tariff rates,” but they usually lag 2025/2026 policy notices and do not replace product-specific HS/HTS duty review.
For a shipment decision, start with HS/HTS lookup, then review Chapter 99, Section 301, Section 232, AD/CVD, quotas, and broker guidance.
