Duty is computed as customs value × the HTSUS duty rate for the product, plus — since 24 July 2026 — the Section 301 forced-labor duty of 10% or 12.5% for the country of origin (which replaced the flat 10% Section 122 surcharge when it expired), plus the China Section 301 lists and Section 232 (steel/aluminum) where they apply, plus the CBP Merchandise Processing Fee on every entry.

Indicative estimate from the pinned tariff dataset — not a CBP-official assessment. The legally binding duty depends on the HS10 your broker declares and the rules in force on your entry date.
What you pay on a US import today (August 2026)
With the $800 de-minimis exemption gone since 29 August 2025, a US import now stacks: the HTSUS base duty for the product, the Section 301 forced-labor duty of 10% or 12.5% for the country of origin (in force since 24 July 2026, when the flat 10% Section 122 surcharge expired), Section 232 (50% on steel/aluminum) and the China Section 301 lists where they apply, plus the CBP Merchandise Processing Fee on every entry.
| Layer | Rate | Authority / status |
|---|---|---|
| HTSUS base duty | 0% – 17.5% by product | HTSUS 2026 (MFN column 1) |
| Across-the-board layer | 10% or 12.5% by country of origin | Section 301 forced labor — in force since 24 Jul 2026, no sunset (CBP CSMS #69326983). Replaced the flat 10% Section 122 surcharge, which expired the same day |
| Steel / aluminum | 50% | Section 232 — survives the ruling |
| China-origin uplift | 25% – 50% by HTS list | Section 301 — survives the ruling |
| Merchandise Processing Fee | 0.3464% ($33.58–$651.50), or $2.69 informal | CBP user fee — applies to every entry now |

How the calculation works
- Pick the origin country (where the seller ships from) and the broad product category. If you know the HTS10 code, enter it; otherwise the category fallback applies.
- Enter the declared price you actually paid and the shipping method. Ocean cargo also pays the Harbor Maintenance Fee.
- The calculator stacks the duty: HTSUS base + the Section 301 forced-labor duty for the origin country (10% or 12.5%, applied for entry dates from 24 July 2026; before that date the old flat 10% Section 122 surcharge applies instead) + Section 232 (steel/aluminum, 50%) + the China Section 301 lists. Section 232 goods, semiconductors and informational materials are carved out of the forced-labor duty; the EU, Japan and South Korea are assessed net of their MFN rate.
- The CBP Merchandise Processing Fee is added on every entry — a flat $2.69 for low-value informal parcels, or 0.3464% (bounded $33.58–$651.50) for formal entries over $2,500 — together with a carrier brokerage estimate.
Frequently asked questions
Do I still get the $800 duty-free allowance?
No. The Section-321 $800 de-minimis exemption was eliminated by Executive Order 14324, effective 29 August 2025, and the suspension was continued by Executive Order 14388 in February 2026. Every parcel from a foreign seller is now dutiable, regardless of value.
What happened to the IEEPA "reciprocal" and China tariffs?
On 20 February 2026 the Supreme Court ruled 6-3 in Learning Resources, Inc. v. Trump that IEEPA does not authorize the President to impose tariffs, striking down both the "reciprocal" tariffs and the China trafficking surcharge. Older calculators that still add an IEEPA reciprocal or a 20% China IEEPA surcharge are out of date.
So what is the across-the-board tariff now?
Since 24 July 2026 it is the Section 301 forced-labor duty: 10% or 12.5% depending on the country of origin, with no sunset date. USTR announced final action on 23 July 2026 in 60 Section 301 investigations into economies that failed to impose and enforce a ban on imports made with forced labor, and the duties took effect at 12:01 a.m. ET on 24 July 2026 — the same minute the old flat 10% Section 122 surcharge lapsed. CBP collects them under HTSUS headings 9903.05.20 to 9903.05.84 (guidance: CSMS #69326983).
Which countries pay 10% and which pay 12.5%?
10%: Argentina, Bangladesh, Cambodia, Canada, Ecuador, El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras, India, Indonesia, Jordan, Malaysia, Mexico, Pakistan, Sri Lanka and the United Kingdom. 12.5%: the remaining covered economies, including China, Hong Kong, Vietnam, Brazil, Thailand, the Philippines, Singapore, Türkiye, Russia, Norway, New Zealand and Australia. Five are assessed "net of MFN" instead of stacked — the European Union and Taiwan are topped up to a combined 10%, and Japan, South Korea and Switzerland to a combined 12.5%, so goods whose ordinary HTSUS rate already exceeds that threshold pay no extra. Source: CBP CSMS #69326983.
What happened to the old flat 10% Section 122 surcharge?
It expired on 24 July 2026 by operation of law. Section 122 of the Trade Act of 1974 caps a balance-of-payments surcharge at 150 days unless Congress extends it, and no extension was enacted. (Separately, the Court of International Trade had invalidated it on 7 May 2026 and the Federal Circuit stayed that ruling on 11 June 2026, so CBP kept collecting it until the statutory clock ran out.) This calculator stops adding it for entry dates from 24 July 2026 and applies the Section 301 forced-labor duty instead.
Which tariffs survived the Supreme Court ruling?
Section 232 (steel and aluminum, currently 50%; copper 25%) and Section 301 (China-origin uplifts by USTR list, 25% to 50% for the categories this tool covers) rest on different statutes and are unaffected. The CBP Merchandise Processing Fee and Harbor Maintenance Fee also still apply.
What is the Merchandise Processing Fee?
A statutory CBP user fee charged on every entry now that de-minimis is gone. For most low-value consumer parcels it is a flat $2.69 (automated informal entry). For formal entries over $2,500 it is 0.3464% of the customs value, bounded between $33.58 and $651.50.
What about the old postal flat-rate option ($80/$160/$200)?
That temporary postal flat-rate regime under EO 14324 ran for six months and ended on 28 February 2026. Since then all postal parcels use the ad-valorem path, so this calculator no longer offers the flat-rate option.
Does this include US sales tax?
No. The landed-cost figure covers federal import duties, the CBP fees and a carrier brokerage estimate only. State and local sales/use taxes are charged separately and are not included.

This is an estimate, not customs advice
US tariff law is in active transition. The Supreme Court struck down the IEEPA tariffs in February 2026; the replacement 10% Section 122 surcharge expired on 24 July 2026 (statutory 150-day limit, no congressional extension), and the Section 301 forced-labor duty took its place the same minute at 10% or 12.5% by country of origin, with no sunset date. This calculator switches between the two automatically on the entry date you give it. Section 232, the China Section 301 lists, and the CBP Merchandise Processing Fee are unaffected. The final duty assessed at the border depends on the HS10 your broker declares, whether one of the forced-labor exemptions applies to your goods, and the rule snapshot in force on the date of entry. Use this as a pre-purchase planning tool, not as a customs declaration.
