Rates and values shown are category averages calibrated to the current US tariff environment, including the 10% Section 122 global surcharge in effect since February 24, 2026. Your actual duty depends on HS code, country of origin, in-quota vs out-of-quota status, and applicable anti-dumping, countervailing or reciprocal measures. Tariff rates change frequently — request a personalized assessment for precise figures.
