Observed U.S. import duty rates by product and country, from the duty Census calculates on each month's imports, not statutory HTS rates.
The average duty rate shown here, also called the effective tariff rate, is the duty Census calculates divided by imports for consumption: the value of goods that cleared customs, duty-free goods included. That is the average burden across all of a product's imports, which can differ significantly from published statutory rates. The rate on dutiable imports divides the same duty by only the value that owed duty, so it is never lower. How duty rates are measured.
Products may enter at lower rates through trade agreements (USMCA, KORUS), preferential programs (GSP, AGOA), or duty drawback provisions. Some imports are entirely duty-free. Both rates capture all of these factors.
Additional tariffs under Section 301 (targeting China) and Section 232 (steel and aluminum) have significantly increased duty rates on many products since 2018. These are reflected in the rates shown here.
U.S. import duties are calculated based on the Harmonized Tariff Schedule (HTS) rate for each product, applied to the dutiable value (typically the transaction value). Rates vary by country of origin due to trade agreements like USMCA, GSP preferences, and Section 301/232 tariffs.
