U.S. imports of Other Consumer Nondurables (End-Use 40140) totaled $1.9B in August 2026, imported from 127 countries.
Importers of Other Consumer Nondurables paid $229.8M in duties in August 2026, an average duty rate of 12.12% — duty actually collected as a share of the imports that cleared customs, not the published tariff schedule.
Last updated: August 2026 dataOn the import side, the residual consumer nondurables category aggregates a diverse range of short-lifecycle goods — from household paper products and cleaning preparations to candles and similar articles — that clear US customs under varying HTS chapters with different duty rates and, in some cases, Section 301 tariff exposure depending on origin. Importers sourcing across this broad grouping should conduct HTS-level classification reviews for each product line rather than relying on the end-use grouping, since duty liability and admissibility requirements differ substantially by specific article. The category's breadth makes it a useful lens for macro trade-flow analysis but a poor substitute for line-item compliance planning.

End-Use codes describe different products on the import and export sides. Cross-direction exports are not shown for this slug.
Yes. Many consumer nondurable products originating from China are subject to Section 301 tariffs, and the specific rate depends on the 10-digit HTS classification of each article. Importers should conduct a line-by-line HTS review and check the applicable Section 301 list for each product before sourcing.
Classification follows the General Rules of Interpretation (GRIs) in the Harmonized Tariff Schedule. When a product could plausibly fall under multiple headings, the essential character of the article, its primary use, and any applicable chapter notes govern the correct heading. A licensed customs broker or a binding ruling request to CBP can provide certainty for ambiguous products.
