Current tariff rates on Chinese imports by product category, including Section 301 surcharges, Section 122 duties, and effective combined rates.
Chinese imports face three layers of tariffs: the base MFN (Most Favored Nation) duty rate that applies to all imports, the Section 301 surcharge imposed specifically on Chinese goods as part of the trade enforcement action, and Section 122 duties added as additional trade balancing measures. The effective rate is the sum of all applicable layers.
Consumer electronics typically face an effective rate of 25-30%, with many items carrying the full 25% Section 301 surcharge on top of low MFN rates. Apparel and textiles see 27-32% effective rates due to higher base MFN rates plus Section 301. Furniture and home goods face 25-30%. Auto parts and industrial components carry 25-27.5% combined rates.
Trade policy between the U.S. and China remains in flux. While the current Section 301 tariff framework is expected to persist through 2026, ongoing negotiations could result in targeted rate adjustments or new exclusions. Businesses should monitor USTR announcements and plan for multiple tariff scenarios.
Most Chinese imports face a combined effective tariff rate of 30-35%, consisting of the standard MFN duty rate plus a Section 301 surcharge of 25% and additional Section 122 levies. Specific rates vary by product category and HTS classification.
Yes. The Section 301 tariffs on Chinese imports remain in effect as of March 2026. While the tariff structure has been modified several times since 2018, the core 25% surcharge on Lists 1-3 products and 7.5-25% on List 4A products continues to apply.
Electronics and technology products face 25% Section 301 surcharges on top of MFN rates. Apparel sees effective rates of 27-32%. Furniture and home goods face 25-30%. Auto parts and industrial machinery carry 25-27.5% effective rates.
Some product-specific exclusions exist through the USTR exclusion process. Additionally, certain medical equipment, rare earth minerals, and products with no non-Chinese source have received temporary exemptions. Check the Federal Register for current exclusion lists.
Section 122 tariffs add an additional layer on top of existing Section 301 duties. Combined with the base MFN rate and Section 301 surcharges, Section 122 duties push effective rates on many Chinese goods into the 30-35% range.
