Rate tables 2026-06-16 · instruments 2026-08-0412.5% additional ad valorem for goods of CN, in force since Jul 24, 2026 with no sunset date (CBP CSMS #69326983). It replaced the Section 122 surcharge, which lapsed the same minute.
Pre-Aug 29, 2025 this would have been $0.00 under the $800 de minimis exemption — you are paying $29.68 more than the same parcel cost under the pre-repeal regime.
Note: the former IEEPA “reciprocal” and China “fentanyl” tariffs were struck down by the Supreme Court on Feb 20, 2026 and replaced by a flat 10% Section 122 surcharge. That surcharge then expired on 2026-07-24, when its 150-day statutory window closed with no extension from Congress — and the Section 301 forced-labor duty above took over the same minute, at 10% or 12.5% depending on the country of origin, with no sunset date.

Handy gear for haulers and returns
The $800 Section-321 de-minimis exemption ended on 29 August 2025 — so a cheap Temu, Shein, or AliExpress haul from China is no longer duty-free. Enter your cart and read the assessed duty straight off the magenta customs label on the parcel.
Instruments checked 2026-08-04 - USTR - CBP - Federal Register
A China-origin marketplace parcel now stacks the HTSUS base duty + USTR Section 301 (China-only) + the Section 301 forced-labor duty, 12.5% for Chinese goods, + the CBP Merchandise Processing Fee - charged on every entry now that de minimis is gone. The flat 10% Section 122 surcharge that used to sit in the third slot expired on 24 July 2026 and the forced-labor duty replaced it the same minute.

Indicative estimate from the pinned tariff dataset - not a CBP-official assessment. The legally binding duty depends on the exact HTSUS classification and the rules in force on your entry date. Pick an origin outside the published forced-labor country table and the checker adds nothing for that layer and says so: the figure is then a floor, not an estimate.
As of July 24, 2026, a Temu, Shein, or AliExpress parcel from China is taxed under this stack: HTSUS base duty + USTR Section 301 (China-only) + the Section 301 forced-labor duty, which is 12.5% for Chinese goods, + the Merchandise Processing Fee. The flat 10% Section 122 surcharge that used to sit in that slot expired on July 24, 2026: Section 122 of the Trade Act of 1974 caps a surcharge at 150 days without an act of Congress, none was passed, and it lapsed by operation of law. It was replaced the same minute by USTR’s forced-labor tariffs, announced as final action on July 23, 2026 in 60 Section 301 investigations — 10% or 12.5% depending on the country of origin, with no sunset date. Before all of that, the IEEPA “reciprocal” and China “fentanyl” tariffs were struck down by the U.S. Supreme Court on February 20, 2026 (6-3). The $800 duty-free de minimis exemption has been gone since August 29, 2025, so every parcel is dutiable.
| Layer | Rate (China-origin) | Authority |
|---|---|---|
| MFN base duty | 0–16% (by HTSUS chapter) | HTSUS 2026 |
| Section 301 | 7.5% or 25% (by list) | USTR Lists 1-4 (survives ruling) |
| Section 301 forced-labor duty | 12.5% (10% or 12.5% by origin) | USTR final action Jul 23, 2026; CBP CSMS #69326983 |
| Section 122 surcharge (expired) | 0% since Jul 24, 2026 | Proclamation Feb 20, 2026; lapsed on its 150-day cap |
| Merchandise Processing Fee | $2.69 flat (informal) | 19 CFR 24.23 (FY2026) |

Two dates, two things. Rate tables (MFN blends, Section 301 category rates, MPF schedule) verified 2026-06-16. Which instruments are in force checked 2026-08-04 against the USTR final action and CBP CSMS #69326983. The two are tracked separately on purpose: a rate table and a list of live instruments go stale at different speeds.
Estimate only — not legal or tax advice
Duty estimates use CBP HTSUS 2026 base rates + USTR Section 301 (China-only) + the Section 301 forced-labor duty (10% or 12.5% by country of origin, in force since 24 July 2026, no sunset) + the Merchandise Processing Fee schedule. The flat 10% Section 122 surcharge that layer replaced expired on 24 July 2026 and is applied only to calculations dated inside its window. The IEEPA reciprocal and fentanyl tariffs were struck down by the Supreme Court on Feb 20, 2026 and are no longer applied. Final duty is determined by US Customs and Border Protection at the time of entry. This tool is for consumer education and does not constitute customs, legal, or tax advice.

Temu & Shein import tax — FAQ
Do I have to pay duty on Temu and Shein orders now?
Yes. Since the $800 de minimis exemption was eliminated on August 29, 2025, parcels of any value entering the United States are dutiable. A China-origin parcel now carries the HTSUS base duty, Section 301, the 12.5% Section 301 forced-labor duty, and the Merchandise Processing Fee.
What happened to the IEEPA reciprocal and fentanyl tariffs?
The Supreme Court struck them down on February 20, 2026, ruling that IEEPA does not authorize tariffs. The administration replaced them the same day with a single Section 122 surcharge under the Trade Act of 1974 — and that surcharge has since expired too, on July 24, 2026, leaving the Section 301 forced-labor duty in its place. This calculator no longer shows the IEEPA layers.
Is the Section 122 surcharge still charged?
No. It was a temporary import surcharge of 10% on goods from all countries, effective February 24, 2026, and Section 122 of the Trade Act of 1974 limits such a surcharge to 150 days without an act of Congress. No extension was passed, so it lapsed on July 24, 2026 and CBP no longer collects it. Nothing got cheaper, though: the Section 301 forced-labor duty took effect the same minute and does not expire. This checker still computes the old surcharge for a calculation dated inside its window, because that is what those parcels actually paid.
What is the Section 301 forced-labor duty, and why is it different per country?
On July 23, 2026 USTR announced final action in 60 Section 301 investigations into economies that failed to impose and effectively enforce a prohibition on importing goods made with forced labor. The result is an additional ad valorem duty of 10% or 12.5% depending on the country of origin, effective at 12:01 a.m. ET on July 24, 2026, with no sunset date; CBP files it under HTSUS 9903.05.20–9903.05.84 (CSMS #69326983). It is per country because Section 301 works per investigation, unlike Section 122, which the statute required to be flat and uniform. China, Hong Kong, Vietnam and Thailand sit in the 12.5% band; India, Indonesia and Mexico sit in the 10% band; Japan and South Korea are topped up to a 12.5% combined rate only when their ordinary rate is below it. If you pick an origin this checker does not carry a published rate for, it adds nothing and says so — the total is then a floor, not an estimate.
Is the effective rate really 30%+ on a cheap parcel?
It can be. Because the MFN base duty, Section 301, the Section 301 forced-labor duty, and the flat Merchandise Processing Fee all stack on a China-origin parcel rather than replacing one another, the combined effective rate can land well above the MFN base alone. The exact number depends on your cart total, the HTSUS category, and which Section 301 list applies — the checker above shows the exact effective rate for your cart.
Did packages ever get a flat per-item fee instead?
Yes — between August 29, 2025 and February 28, 2026, carriers could elect a flat postal specific duty of $80, $160, or $200 per item instead of ad valorem. That option expired February 28, 2026, so all postal parcels are now assessed ad valorem, which is the basis this tool uses.
Is this an official CBP figure?
No. This is a consumer estimate built from published rate schedules. U.S. Customs and Border Protection determines the final duty at entry based on the exact HTSUS classification and origin documentation. See the methodology page for scope and sources.
