Understanding U.S. Import Duty in 2025

The U.S. Import Duty Calculator 2025 helps individuals and businesses estimate the customs duty they’ll pay when bringing goods into the United States. With international trade increasing, knowing the exact duty rate is critical for managing costs, ensuring compliance, and avoiding unexpected charges.

Import duty depends on multiple factors such as the type of product, its declared value, the country of origin, and any free trade agreements in place. In 2025, the U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) continues to enforce updated rates under the Harmonized Tariff Schedule (HTS).

How Import Duty Works

When goods arrive in the U.S., CBP applies a percentage-based duty on the declared value. Some goods may also face excise taxes or additional tariffs. Businesses importing frequently should classify their products correctly under HTS codes to prevent delays or fines.

Key Benefits of Using This Calculator

  • Real-time duty cost estimation based on product value
  • Helps businesses plan landed costs before shipping
  • Supports trade compliance with 2025 tariff schedules
  • Avoids surprises by showing potential duty and tax costs

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

1. What is U.S. import duty in 2025?

Import duty is a tax charged by U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) on goods entering the United States. In 2025, duty rates are set by the Harmonized Tariff Schedule (HTS) and vary by product type and origin.

2. How do I calculate import duty on goods from China?

Import duty from China depends on the HTS code and any Section 301 tariffs. The calculator provides an estimate, but final costs are determined by CBP upon entry.

3. Do I pay duty on items under $800?

No, the U.S. de minimis value is $800. Goods under this value typically enter duty-free unless restricted products apply.

4. Are there free trade agreements that reduce duty?

Yes, agreements like USMCA (Canada & Mexico) may lower or eliminate duty if rules of origin are met.

5. How does CBP determine duty rates?

Duty rates are based on product classification under HTS, declared customs value, and country of origin. Misclassification can result in penalties.

6. Can businesses reclaim import duties?

Some importers may qualify for duty drawback, which refunds duties paid on goods that are later exported.

7. How do I know the exact duty rate for my product?

The most accurate method is to check the official Harmonized Tariff Schedule. This calculator gives a reliable estimate but should not replace CBP’s final determination.
