The method
How US import duty is calculated
Find the HTS code. Every import is classified under a 10-digit code in the Harmonized Tariff Schedule.
Apply the base rate. Column 1 General for most countries, a Special rate when the goods qualify for a trade agreement such as USMCA, or Column 2 for Cuba, North Korea, Russia and Belarus.
Add the Chapter 99 tariffs. Section 122, 232, 301, 338 and other additional duties stack on top, depending on the product, the country of origin and the entry date, unless an exemption applies.
Add customs fees. The Merchandise Processing Fee on every formal entry, and the Harbor Maintenance Fee on ocean shipments.

Every rate comes from the official Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States published by the US International Trade Commission. Each HTS revision's changes are entered with the dates they take effect, so you can calculate past and future entry dates. Tariff data is verified from Revision 29 (November 17, 2025) through 2026 HTS Revision 20, and every change is listed in the calculator changelog.

General rates (Column 2 where it applies), before customs fees and any antidumping or countervailing duties, with tariff data verified through 2026 HTS Revision 20. Green figures are the total when the goods qualify for that trade preference. Some tariffs and exemptions depend on details such as metal content, which the calculator asks about.

How do I calculate US import duty?
Enter the HTS code, the country of origin, the customs value and the entry date. The calculator applies the base rate for that country, adds every Chapter 99 tariff in force on that date after exemptions and stacking rules, and adds the Merchandise Processing Fee and, for ocean shipments, the Harbor Maintenance Fee. Each line shows its rate, amount and the Chapter 99 heading behind it.
Is this US tariff calculator free?
Yes. The HTS Hero duty and tariff calculator is free to use with no sign-up. You get the full line-by-line breakdown: the base rate, every Chapter 99 tariff and exemption, trade preferences and customs fees. A free account adds Duty Over Time, Compare, the tariff news on each import, the plain-English why behind every result (why each tariff applies and why others don't, with the legal text), Analysis (the duty from every country of origin), and an AD/CVD check on every import: the antidumping and countervailing duty cases and new petitions that may cover it, with their deposit rates and the companies named.
How current are the tariff rates?
The calculator is updated with every revision of the Harmonized Tariff Schedule, and each revision's Chapter 99 changes are entered with their legal effective dates. Tariff data is currently verified through 2026 HTS Revision 20.
What are Section 232 tariffs?
Section 232 of the Trade Expansion Act of 1962 lets the President adjust imports that threaten national security. In 2026 it covers steel, aluminum and copper (up to 50%), autos and auto parts (25%), medium and heavy-duty vehicles, semiconductors, wood products, patented pharmaceuticals (up to 100%) and drones. Several countries have all-in rates under their deals, such as 15% including the base rate for the EU, Japan and South Korea on many of these products.
What are Section 301 tariffs?
Section 301 of the Trade Act of 1974 lets USTR respond to unfair trade practices. The longest-running Section 301 tariffs are on goods from China, from 7.5% to 100% depending on the product list. Since July 2026 there are also Section 301 tariffs on goods from Brazil (25%) and the forced-labor duties on goods from about 55 countries (10% or 12.5%). The calculator applies the lists, rates and exclusions in force on your entry date.
Does the calculator include trade agreements like USMCA?
Yes. When the HTS line has a special rate for the country of origin, the calculator lists each available program, such as USMCA, CAFTA-DR or KORUS, under Possible Adjustments. Claim one to see the preferential rate and any tariffs it removes. The goods must meet the agreement's rules of origin; shipping from a partner country isn't enough. GSP expired after December 31, 2020 and isn't available.
Can I calculate duty for a past entry date?
Yes. Set the entry date and the calculator applies the Chapter 99 tariffs in force that day, which is what you need to check what you should have paid. Verified tariff data starts on November 17, 2025 (2025 HTS Revision 29); for earlier dates the calculator warns you that changes may be missing. Base rates come from the current HTS for every date.
Does the calculator include antidumping and countervailing duties?
Not in the estimate. Antidumping and countervailing duties (AD/CVD) are set case by case by the Commerce Department for specific producers and exporters, so the calculator doesn't add them to the total. HTS Hero does check every import against live AD/CVD cases and new petitions that may cover it, and shows the cases, the deposit rates Commerce set (the all-others rate and company-specific rates) and the companies named, free with an account. Without an account, you'll see that AD/CVD duties may apply. Whether a case covers your goods depends on the product and the producer, so confirm it with your customs broker.
