Estimate your import duties
A product code and a country give its duty rate; add the value of the goods for the amount. Every US duty and fee that applies, each with its official source.

How a US import duty adds up
For one product, one country of origin and one date of entry, an estimate stacks three layers:
- The base duty. The rate of the General column of the product's line in the US tariff (HTS), the lower rate of a trade agreement you claim, or the Column 2 rate for the few countries without normal trade relations with the United States.
- The additional duties of Chapter 99. Section 301, 232, 201 and 338 measures that some products, origins and periods owe on top, each combined as its own text says: one can spare a product from another or cap the total, which is why an estimate may ask questions about the goods.
- The entry fees. The merchandise processing fee (MPF) of every formal entry, and the harbor maintenance fee (HMF) for goods that arrive by sea, counted once for the whole entry.
Antidumping and countervailing duties are set case by case outside the tariff and are not counted. Freight, insurance and your broker's fees are not duties: the calculator only adds them to the landed cost.
For example, 1,000 men's cotton T-shirts (HTS 6109.10.00.12) made in China, bought at $5.00 each, owe $1,865.83 in duties and fees today, 37.3% of the value:
- Base duty: $825.00
- Section 301: $1,000.00
- Entry fees: $40.83
