U.S. import tariffs by country

Country of origin decides which tariff programs are evaluated against your shipment. It does not, on its own, decide the rate — that comes from your product's classification.

The distinction that costs importers the most money is between country-scoped and product-scoped actions. Section 301 is assigned per country and per subheading. Section 232 metals actions are scoped by what the article is, so they can apply to goods from a country that has no country-specific tariff at all. Reading a country page and concluding you are clear is the most common expensive mistake in this area.

Each page below separates the two explicitly, and lists what changed recently with the government document behind it.
