Tariff Calculator: China → U.S. (2026)
China-to-U.S. duty in 2026 = the MFN base rate (by 8-digit code) + China 301 (25% / 7.5% by list, review increases merged) + the global 301 China tier of 12.5% (since 2026-07-24), plus Section 232 where hit. A knit T-shirt (6109.10) totals 36.5% ad valorem. The IEEPA tariffs ended 2026-02-24; duties paid under them are refundable via CBP CAPE.
What changed on this lane in 2026: the IEEPA "fentanyl/reciprocal" tariffs ended and moved into refund processing, the global 301 China tier of 12.5% took effect, and the China 301 exclusions near expiry (2026-11-10). Your entry cost is decided by the layers below:
U.S. full regime: MFN + 301 + 232 + MPF/HMF
What changed on this lane in 2026
- 2026-02-24IEEPA fentanyl/reciprocal tariffs struck down — duties paid 2025-02-04 through 2026-02-24 are refundable via CBP CAPE
- 2026-07-24Global 301 effective: China at a flat 12.5% tier (FR 2026-15181), stacked on the same value as MFN and the China 301 lists
- 2026-11-10China 301 exclusions expire (current window on the 178 extended exclusions) — covered codes resume the add-on after this date
Section 232 sectors (steel/aluminum/copper 50%, autos 25%, semiconductors, etc.) run continuously, are origin-agnostic, and displace the global 301 layer when hit; the China 301 lists hit by 8-digit code — look up any code on /section-301.
Frequently asked questions
What is the current tariff on China-to-U.S. shipments?
There is no single number: MFN (by code) + China 301 (25% / 7.5% by list) + the global 301 China tier of 12.5%, all on the same customs value — unless a 232 sector covers the good. A knit T-shirt 6109.10 = 16.5% + 7.5% + 12.5% = 36.5% (before fees/freight). Enter your code and value in the calculator above for the exact stack.
How do I calculate duty for a China-to-U.S. shipment?
Three steps: ① get your 8–10 digit HTS code (see the code-finding guide); ② select China as origin in the calculator, enter declared value and transport mode; ③ read the layer-by-layer result (MFN / China 301 / global 301 / 232 + MPF/HMF fees). For full lists use the batch page.
Can I get a refund of the IEEPA tariffs I paid?
Yes. The IEEPA tariffs ended on 2026-02-24; duties paid from 2025-02-04 are claimable through CBP's CAPE process (interest per CBP's official page). File as the importer of record, or route through your carrier/broker if they remitted. Full walkthrough on /ieepa-refund.

Are the China 301 exclusions still active?
The current 178 exclusions run through 2026-11-10; covered 8-digit codes skip the China 301 add-on during the window and resume after. Check any code with the /section-301 lookup.
