Does the 800 dollar de minimis exemption still remove China import duties?

No. As of this June 2026 update, the de minimis exemption is suspended for shipments valued at 800 dollars or less, including China-origin goods. Low-value shipments still need entry treatment and may owe normal duties and fees.

China Tariff Rates Today (June 2026)

There is no one China tariff rate. Your real landed cost depends on your product's HTS code, tariff layers, customs fees, shipping method, and sale price.

← Back to the import cost calculator

Plain answer: For China-to-USA import planning today, assume you may owe base HTS duty, a temporary Section 122 surcharge while active, possible Section 301 and Section 232 tariffs, MPF, and HMF for ocean freight. Section 122 does not stack on the same goods when Section 232 applies. Do not assume the old $800 de minimis duty-free exemption applies. This page was last checked against official sources on 29 June 2026.

The simple way to think about China import tariffs

Do not start with "What is the China tariff rate?" Start with this better question:

After every duty, tariff, customs fee, shipping cost, and marketplace fee, will this product still make money?

That is why this site treats tariff rates as inputs to a go / tight / no-go decision. A tariff page can help you understand the layers, but the calculator is where you test your actual order economics.

Current tariff layers to check

The table below is a planning map, not a substitute for classifying your product. The official rate still depends on the HTS code and entry date.

Base HTS duty	Varies by product. Search your product in the official HTSUS.
Section 122	Temporary 10% planning layer while active; re-check near the July 2026 expiry window. It does not stack on the same goods when Section 232 applies.
Section 301	China-specific tariff lists. Product-specific, often material, and should be checked by HTS code.
Section 232	Product-specific trade-remedy duties for covered goods such as steel, aluminum, and certain derivative or strategic products. Use the confirmed rate for your product rather than assuming one universal 232 rate.
MPF	FY2026 processing fee. This calculator uses the informal/formal split documented by CBP user fee updates.
HMF	0.125% of cargo value for ocean freight unloaded at covered U.S. ports.
De minimis	The $800 duty-free exemption is suspended; low-value shipments should not be treated as duty free.

How to estimate your product's rate

Find the HTS code. Start with the U.S. International Trade Commission's official HTS search. If the classification is not obvious, ask a broker.
Read the base duty. That is the normal duty rate for the product classification.
Check Chapter 99 and trade remedies. This is where extra tariff layers such as Section 301, Section 232, and temporary surcharge provisions can appear.
Put the numbers into the calculator. Use the manual HS duty-rate field and the editable Section 301 / 232 fields when you know your product's confirmed rates.
Make the order decision. The important output is not just the duty total. It is whether the product is a GO, TIGHT, or NO-GO after landed cost and selling fees.

For most small importers, the dangerous mistake is not missing one tiny fee. It is treating the supplier price as the product cost. Use landed cost per unit before you pay a deposit.
