US Import Duty Rates by Category
US customs duties are based on the Harmonized Tariff Schedule (HTS). Rates vary widely within each category based on material, construction, and specific product classification. The ranges below are typical for general imports — additional tariffs (e.g., Section 301 tariffs on Chinese goods) may apply on top.
| Category | Typical Rate Range | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Clothing / Apparel | 12–32% | Higher for man-made fibers |
| Electronics | 0–5% | Many items duty-free under ITA |
| Furniture | 0–7% | Wood furniture typically 0% |
| Toys & Games | 0–7% | Most toys duty-free |
| Footwear | 2–48% | Highest for rubber/plastic sole |
| Food & Beverage | 5–20% | Varies heavily by product |
| Automotive Parts | 2.5–25% | Higher for finished vehicles |
| Industrial Machinery | 0–5% | Most capital equipment low/free |
| Plastics & Rubber | 2–6% | Raw materials typically low |
| Steel / Metal Products | 0–25% | Section 232 tariffs may add 25% |
The de minimis threshold for the USA is $800 USD. Shipments at or below this value are generally duty-free and exempt from formal entry requirements under Section 321 of the US Tariff Act.
- Always classify your product with the correct 10-digit HTS code for accuracy.
- Country of origin matters — products may qualify for preferential rates under trade agreements (USMCA, CAFTA-DR, etc.).
- Additional Section 301 tariffs of 7.5–25%+ apply to many goods from China.
