Country tariff detail
South Africa tariff rates and US import-tariff planning
These are annual country-level averages. Product-specific import duties still require HS/HTS lookup, origin review, Chapter 99, AD/CVD, quota, and broker confirmation.
Which tariff question are you trying to answer?
The same country name can mean an import schedule, US policy on that origin, or a landed-cost estimate. Pick the right path so the page answers the right question.

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.
