Total landed import costs encompass general Column 1 Most Favored Nation (MFN) duties, punitive trade remedy surcharges (such as Section 301 tariffs of 7.5% to 25% on Chinese goods and Section 232 steel/aluminum duties), and mandatory US Customs and Border Protection (CBP) processing fees (Merchandise Processing Fee and Harbor Maintenance Fee). This calculator delivers instant, actuarially sound landed cost models.

Frequently asked questions

What is an HTS code and how does it determine import duties?

The Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTSUS) is the 10-digit tariff classification system administered by the US International Trade Commission (USITC) and enforced by US Customs and Border Protection (CBP) to assess ad valorem or specific duties on foreign goods.

What are Section 301 tariffs on Chinese imports?

Section 301 tariffs are additional protective duties (typically 7.5% or 25%) levied on designated Chinese-origin products across Tranches 1 through 4B, applied on top of the standard general Column 1 duty rate.

What are MPF and HMF customs fees?

The Merchandise Processing Fee (MPF) is an ad valorem fee of 0.3464% collected by CBP on formal entries (capped between $31.67 and $614.35). The Harbor Maintenance Fee (HMF) is an additional 0.125% fee assessed exclusively on commercial ocean freight arriving at US ports.
