Disclaimer: Rates reflect the tariff environment as of March 2026, including Section 301 China tariffs, Section 232 steel/aluminum tariffs (50% as of June 2025), and the Section 122 universal 10% tariff effective Feb 24–Jul 24, 2026 (enacted after the Supreme Court struck down IEEPA-based tariffs). USMCA-compliant goods from Canada and Mexico are exempt from Section 122. Anti-dumping (ADD), countervailing duties (CVD), and product-specific exclusions are not included. Actual duties depend on HTS classification and origin documentation. Always verify with your customs broker or the CBP HTS Online database.

📋

Base MFN Duties

Most Favored Nation (MFN) rates are the baseline U.S. duty applied to all countries not receiving preferential treatment. They range from 0% on electronics to over 30% on some apparel.

Section 301 (China Tariffs)

Additional tariffs of 7.5%–25% apply to goods manufactured in China across four product lists. List 4A consumer goods pay 7.5%; industrial goods on Lists 1–3 pay 25%.

⚙️

Section 232 (Steel & Aluminum)

A 25% tariff on steel and 10% on aluminum applies to most countries under national security provisions. USMCA partners Canada and Mexico are currently exempt.

🤝

FTAs & USMCA

The U.S. has free trade agreements with 20 countries. USMCA (Canada/Mexico) eliminates duties on qualifying originating goods — but rules of origin must be met.

What Goes Into Your Total Landed Cost?

Product Cost(FOB or CIF value)
+ International Freight(ocean, air, or ground)
+ Cargo Insurance(0.3–0.5% of CIF)
+ Import Duties(base MFN + Section 301 + Section 232 + Section 122)
+ Customs Broker Fee($150–$250 per entry)
+ MPF(Merchandise Processing Fee: 0.3464% of value, min $31.67, max $614.35)
+ HMF(Harbor Maintenance Fee: 0.125% for ocean freight)
+ Inland Freight(port to warehouse)
+ 3PL Receiving($8–$15 per pallet)
= Total Landed Cost

Most importers focus only on product cost and duties, but the "hidden" fees — customs brokerage, MPF, HMF, and inland freight — typically add 3–8% on top of the duty amount. Our calculator shows the duty layers; combine it with your freight quotes and broker fees to get the full picture.

Understanding Tariff Stacking in 2026

Multiple tariff layers can stack on a single shipment — MFN + Section 301 + Section 232 + ADD/CVD. Read our guide on how tariff stacking works and how to calculate your true landed cost.

Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about tariffs, duties, and import regulations

What is the current Section 232 tariff on steel?

As of March 2026, the Section 232 tariff on steel imports is 50%. This applies to imports from all countries with no exemptions, including Canada and Mexico. Section 232 is authorized under the Trade Expansion Act of 1962 and was escalated from the original 25% rate in 2025.

What is the current Section 232 tariff on aluminum?

As of March 2026, the Section 232 tariff on aluminum imports is 50%, up from the original 10% rate imposed in 2018. The tariff applies to all countries of origin with no exemptions. Canada and Mexico are NOT exempt despite USMCA.

What is the Section 122 tariff and when did it start?

The Section 122 tariff is a 10% universal import surcharge authorized under Section 122 of the Trade Act of 1974. It took effect in February 2026 following the Supreme Court's ruling on IEEPA tariff authority. Canada and Mexico are exempt under USMCA. All other countries face the 10% surcharge on top of other applicable duties.

Are Section 301 tariffs still in effect in 2026?

Yes. Section 301 tariffs on Chinese goods remain in effect as of 2026. Lists 1–3 carry a 25% tariff rate. List 4A carries a 7.5% rate. List 4B was suspended and never implemented. These tariffs apply only to imports from China.

Does USMCA eliminate all tariffs on Canadian and Mexican goods?

No. USMCA eliminates base MFN (Most-Favored-Nation) duties for qualifying goods from Canada and Mexico, and also exempts them from Section 122. However, USMCA does NOT exempt Canadian or Mexican goods from Section 232 steel and aluminum tariffs (50%) or from antidumping and countervailing duties (AD/CVD).

What is a landed cost calculation?

Landed cost is the total cost of importing goods to your destination, including: product cost + international freight + insurance + import duties + customs broker fees + inland freight + 3PL receiving fees. Duties alone can range from 0% to 75%+ of product value depending on product type and country of origin.

How do I find my product's HTS code?

To find your HTS code, use the USITC online tariff schedule at usitc.gov, search by product description or browse the schedule's chapter structure. Chapter 01–24 covers agricultural products, 25–27 minerals and fuels, 28–38 chemicals, 84–85 machinery and electronics. A customs broker can also provide a binding ruling from CBP.

What are antidumping (AD) and countervailing duties (CVD)?

AD/CVD duties are separate from the tariff layers shown in this calculator. Antidumping duties apply when goods are sold in the US at below-market prices; countervailing duties offset foreign government subsidies. Both can add significant additional duties — sometimes 50–300% — on specific products from specific countries. Check the CBP ADCVD portal for current orders.
