TARIFF CALCULATOR FAQS
How do you calculate tariffs?
Tariffs are calculated as a percentage of the total value of imported goods. The formula is:
(Base Duty Rate + Section 301 Tariff) × Unit Cost × Quantity
For example, if your product has a base duty rate of 5%, a Section 301 tariff of 15%, a unit cost of $10, and you’re importing 100 units, the total tariff would be:
(0.05 + 0.15) × $10 × 100 = $200
Our calculator handles this math instantly and stays up-to-date with the latest changes—you just enter your numbers and we take care of the rest.
How do I know which duty rate to enter?
Duty rates are determined by your product’s HTS (Harmonized Tariff Schedule) code. If you’re unsure of the correct rate, use the provided HTS Code and HTS Subheading links in the calculator to research your product’s classification. These resources connect you to official U.S. tariff schedules for accurate rates.
What is the Section 301 Tariff and does it apply to my product?
Section 301 Tariffs are additional duties imposed primarily on products imported from China. If your product falls under these measures, you’ll need to enter the appropriate percentage in the Section 301 Tariff field. Check the HTS Subheading reference for more details specific to your item.
Can I use this calculator for any country?
Yes. The calculator includes a Country of Origin dropdown so you can select where you’re importing from. This helps account for country-specific duty implications, including exemptions or penalties associated with certain trade policies.
Does this tool include shipping or other fees?
No, this calculator specifically focuses on tariffs and import duties. For a full landed cost estimate, you should also factor in shipping, insurance, port fees, and other logistical costs separately. However, knowing your tariff cost upfront is a crucial first step.
How often is the tariff calculator updated?
The Tariff Calculator pulls from up-to-date Harmonized Tariff Schedule data and reflects recent Section 301 changes. This means you’re getting current duty rates and avoiding decisions based on outdated information.
