This is also known as CIF value (Cost, Insurance, Freight).
Additional fees that apply to most imports:
Your total landed cost will include the product cost, shipping, duties, and all additional fees.
The Harmonized Tariff Schedule (HTS) code is a standardized numerical method of classifying traded products. Every product imported into the US must be assigned an HTS code, which determines its specific duty rate.
HTS codes are 10 digits long in the US and organized hierarchically:
To find the correct HTS code for your product:
Using the correct HTS code is crucial, as incorrect classification can result in penalties or delays.
Section 301 tariffs are additional duties imposed by the US on goods from specific countries under Section 301 of the Trade Act of 1974. They are used when the US determines that a foreign country has unfair trade practices.
The most significant Section 301 tariffs are those on Chinese imports, which began in 2018 and have been adjusted in 2025 by the Trump administration.
Key characteristics of Section 301 tariffs:
For Chinese imports in 2025, many products now face a combined tariff rate of 30%, which includes both the base tariff rate and the Section 301 additional tariffs. This is a significant reduction from previous rates as a result of new trade negotiations.
There are several legal strategies to reduce import duty costs:
Always consult with a customs broker or trade compliance expert before implementing these strategies to ensure they are appropriate for your situation and comply with all regulations.

This guide walks you through the process of calculating the total landed cost of imported goods, including duties, taxes, and fees.
The customs value is the basis for calculating duties and typically includes:
This is commonly referred to as the CIF value (Cost, Insurance, and Freight).
The tariff rate depends on:
For 2025, here are some key rates:
Multiply the customs value by the tariff rate percentage.
Example: For goods valued at $10,000 from China (30% rate):
$10,000 × 30% = $3,000 in duties
The MPF is calculated as 0.3464% of the customs value, with a minimum of $27.98 and a maximum of $538.40 per entry.
Example: For goods valued at $10,000:
$10,000 × 0.3464% = $34.64 in MPF
If your goods arrive by sea, add the HMF, which is 0.125% of the customs value.
Example: For goods valued at $10,000 arriving by sea:
$10,000 × 0.125% = $12.50 in HMF
Sum all components to get your total landed cost.
With the changes in US tariff rates in 2025, implementing effective duty mitigation strategies remains important for importers. Below are legal approaches to reduce duty impact.
One of the most direct ways to mitigate high tariffs is to source products from countries with lower duty rates.
The "First Sale Rule" allows importers to declare the value of goods based on the first sale in the supply chain (typically from manufacturer to middleman) rather than the second sale (middleman to importer).
Standard Valuation: $10,000 × 30% = $3,000 in duties
First Sale Valuation: $8,000 × 30% = $2,400 in duties
Savings: $600 (20% reduction)
Foreign Trade Zones are secure areas under CBP supervision considered outside US customs territory.
Duty drawback allows for the refund of 99% of duties paid on imported merchandise that is later exported or used in the manufacture of exported goods.
Tariff engineering involves legally modifying products or production processes to achieve more favorable tariff classification.
Important: Due to the complexity of customs regulations and the significant penalties for non-compliance, it's strongly recommended to work with customs brokers, trade attorneys, or other trade compliance professionals when implementing any duty mitigation strategy.
US tariff policies are subject to change. The latest major update was on May 12, 2025, when the Trump administration announced a reduction in tariff rates for China, bringing the combined rate down to 30%.
