Frequently Asked Questions
What is import duty?
Import duty is a tax imposed by a government on goods imported from other countries. It is typically calculated as a percentage of the customs value of the goods.
How is US import duty calculated?
US import duty is calculated on the customs value (product value + shipping + insurance) multiplied by the duty rate assigned to the product's HS code classification. De minimis exemptions may apply for shipments under $800.
What is the de minimis threshold?
The US de minimis threshold under Section 321 is $800. Shipments valued at $800 or less may enter duty-free. However, this policy is subject to change and certain products may be excluded.
How do I find the correct duty rate?
Duty rates are determined by the product's HS (Harmonized System) code. You can look up rates in the Harmonized Tariff Schedule, but we recommend consulting a licensed customs broker for accurate classification.
Are these duty estimates accurate?
These are estimates for planning purposes only. Actual duty rates depend on correct HS classification, country of origin, trade agreements, and current policy. Always verify with a licensed customs broker.
