The general rate plus every additional duty the engine applies for that origin on September 2, 2026(Section 301, Section 232, Section 201, Section 338, and the forced-labor Section 301 action), as a share of customs value. Columns appear only for origins that carry an additional layer somewhere in this heading; for every other origin the all-in rate is the general rate.

A range means the 10-digit lines under that 8-digit line resolve differently. "+" marks a line with a per-unit duty component the percentage does not capture. "*" marks lines the engine could not price. Chapter 99 headings beneath a rate are the additional-duty provisions applied. AD/CVD, quota, and the regimes listed under "Not included" are not in these numbers.

Not included in the numbers above
Antidumping and countervailing duties, tariff-rate quotas, and partner-agency requirements are never in these rates. The engine also flags regimes it knows about but does not compute for this heading:
- Section 232Section 232 unmanned aircraft systems (Proclamation 11055 of Aug 13, 2026; 91 FR 53699, FR doc 2026-16979) is NOT modeled: from 2026-09-03 covered UAS and components owe 100% ad valorem (maximum takeoff weight over 25 kg, thermal-imaging drones, docking stations and the Annex I critical components) or 25% (drones of 25 kg or less). Products of the EU, Japan, Korea, Taiwan, Switzerland and Liechtenstein are capped at 15% all-in and the UK at 10% where the critical-component origin criteria are met; the Annex III component list is deferred to 2027-02-09. If this line is a drone, a drone part or a docking station the quote UNDERSTATES: price it by hand.

How this page is built
The rate lines are the USITC 2026 HTS Revision 17 export, unedited. The all-in rates come from the Borderless tariff engine (the same code behind the tariff simulator), run for each 8-digit line and origin with an entry date of 2026-09-02; its measures bundle is dated 2026-08-21and cites the Federal Register and CBP notices behind every layer. Page generated 2026-09-02. These are estimates for planning, not classification advice or a filing: the classification of your goods, the origin determination, and any claim are confirmed by a licensed broker before an entry is filed. Maintained by Borderless CHB; Joy Xue, Licensed U.S. customs broker (CBP filer code NQR), confirms the classification and the duty stack on every entry before it is filed.
