YOUR SHIPMENT
Product

Not sure? Read what an HS code is, or ask your supplier for the code they export under.

Origin and value

Customs value is what was paid for the goods. In the U.S., international shipping and insurance are not dutiable, so shipping only feeds the landed cost.

How it ships
Weight and quantity

Only needed when the duty is charged per kilogram or per item.

Your estimate will appear here.

Pick the HTS code, the country where the goods were made, and their value. You will see the base duty, each additional tariff with its legal basis, customs fees, and the total.

Estimate only, not a binding ruling. ExperShip is not a customs broker. The duty you owe depends on the correct classification, value and origin of your goods and on the rules in force when they enter the U.S. Tariffs change often. Confirm with a licensed customs broker, or check CBP CROSS rulings, before you rely on a number. Antidumping and countervailing duties, state taxes and carrier brokerage charges are not included.

how it works

What goes into U.S. import duty.

Every product imported into the U.S. has a 10-digit code in the Harmonized Tariff Schedule. The code sets the base duty rate. Since 2025, additional tariffs on top of that rate have changed several times, and they now depend heavily on where the goods were made.

The de minimis exemption is suspended, so even small ecommerce parcels owe duty. Knowing the duty before you ship helps you price products, choose who pays it (DDP or DDU), and work out your landed cost.

the parts of the bill

  1. Base duty

    The general rate in the Harmonized Tariff Schedule (HTS) for your product's 10-digit code. Some rates are a percentage of value, some are an amount per kilogram or per item, and some are both.

  2. Additional tariffs

    Extra duties set by trade actions, such as Section 301 and Section 232. They depend on the product and the country of origin, and they change often.

  3. Customs fees

    The merchandise processing fee (MPF) on every entry, and the harbor maintenance fee (HMF) on ocean shipments.

  4. No duty-free threshold

    The U.S. de minimis exemption is suspended, so a $20 parcel can owe duty just like a large shipment.

faq

Import duty questions.

How is U.S. import duty calculated?

Duty is usually a percentage of the customs value of the goods, which is the price paid for them, not including international shipping and insurance. Some products pay an amount per kilogram or per item instead, or a mix of both. On top of the base rate from the Harmonized Tariff Schedule, additional tariffs can apply depending on the product and where it was made, plus the merchandise processing fee, and the harbor maintenance fee for ocean shipments.

Do low-value parcels still enter the U.S. duty-free?

No. The de minimis exemption that let shipments worth $800 or less enter duty-free has been suspended for all countries since August 29, 2025, and it stays suspended. Parcels of any value now owe the applicable duties, and they need an accurate HTS code, country of origin and value.

Which additional tariffs does the estimator include?

It computes the Section 301 country tariffs that took effect on July 24, 2026, including the all-in rates for the EU, Japan, South Korea, Switzerland and Taiwan, the Section 301 tariff on Brazil, and Section 232 duties on steel mill products, basic aluminum, passenger vehicles, light trucks, buses and softwood lumber. Tariffs that depend on detailed product lists or on how the goods are used, such as the Section 301 China lists, auto parts, semiconductors and pharmaceuticals, are shown as warnings rather than added to the total.

Is the estimate a binding duty ruling?

No. It is an estimate for planning, not a customs ruling, and ExperShip is not a customs broker. The duty you actually owe depends on the correct classification of your goods, their value and origin, and the rules in force on the day they enter the U.S. For a binding answer, ask a licensed customs broker or request a ruling from U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP). You can also search past rulings in CBP's CROSS database.

Where do the rates come from?

Base rates and product descriptions come from the Harmonized Tariff Schedule published by the U.S. International Trade Commission. Additional tariffs and fees come from Federal Register notices, the HTS chapter 99 provisions and CBP guidance, and we update them when they change. Each line in the result names its legal basis.

How do I find my product's HTS code?

Search by product name or by the first digits of a code you already have. The first six digits are the international HS code, which your supplier may already use. The last four digits are specific to the U.S. If you are unsure, check CBP rulings for similar products or ask a customs broker, because the wrong code can mean the wrong duty.
