Get a Heads-Up When US-China Tariffs Change
The tariff layers that decide your landed cost - Section 301, Section 232, de minimis, and customs fees - each move on their own schedule. If you price orders off last quarter's rates, your margin math is quietly wrong. This alert exists so you find out the day it matters, not the day your customs invoice arrives.
What you get
- One email per confirmed change - not a newsletter. No weekly digest, no "tips", no promotions. If tariff rules don't move, your inbox stays empty.
- Human-verified before it's sent. Our regular monitoring checks the Federal Register, USTR, and CBP; a person confirms the change against official sources before any alert goes out.
- Plain English, with the source. What changed, which product categories it hits, and a link to the official notice plus the updated calculator so you can re-run your numbers in seconds.
- Unsubscribe anytime. Double opt-in on the way in, one click on the way out.
US-China tariff rules have moved repeatedly through 2025-2026: a suspended de minimis exemption, a temporary Section 122 surcharge that expired, a separate Section 301 action that took effect the same day, and Section 301 and 232 rates that get revised by product. We updated our tariff guidance on 24 July when Section 122 expired and a separate Section 301 action took effect. Each change lands directly on your landed cost per unit. For the current picture, see today's China tariff rates.

Frequently Asked Questions
How often will I get emailed?
Only when a US tariff rule affecting China imports actually changes - historically that has been every few weeks to every few months, not on a fixed schedule. There is no weekly digest and no marketing sequence. If nothing changes, you hear nothing.
Is this a newsletter?
No. Each alert is one short email: what changed, roughly who it affects, and a link to the official source and the updated calculator. It goes out only after the site owner has verified the change against official sources.
Which tariff changes do you track?
The layers that move a China-to-USA landed cost: Section 301 tariffs, Section 232 actions, the de minimis exemption rules, and the MPF and HMF customs fee levels. We updated our tariff guidance on 24 July when Section 122 expired and a separate Section 301 action took effect. Sources checked include the Federal Register, USTR, and CBP. For the current state of each layer, see today's China tariff rates.
Can I unsubscribe?
Yes, any time, with one click - every email includes an unsubscribe link. Signup uses double opt-in, so you also will not be subscribed at all unless you confirm from your inbox first. Your email address and selected category are stored by our email service provider as described in the privacy policy.
Planning Information Only
Tariff alerts are general information, not legal, customs, tax, or financial advice. Alerts summarize changes in plain English and link to official sources; always verify rates against the USITC, USTR, and U.S. Customs and Border Protection, or a licensed customs broker, before committing money to an order.
