Customs duty collections ranked by product category
U.S. Customs and Border Protection collects tariff duties on imported goods, generating significant federal revenue. The amount of duty collected depends on both the volume of imports and the applicable tariff rate for each product category. This page shows which products generate the most tariff revenue and the effective tariff rates applied to different import categories.
The effective tariff rate represents the ratio of duty collected to the total value of imports, providing a practical measure of the actual tariff burden on each product category. Products with higher effective rates face greater cost barriers to entering the U.S. market.
