Navigate Section 301 tariffs on Chinese electronics, 50% semiconductor duties, lithium battery tariffs, and complex Chapter 84-85 classification. All automated.
Start Free TrialElectronics face some of the most aggressive tariff escalation in recent history, especially from China.
Section 301 increase effective January 1, 2025. Covers integrated circuits (8542), semiconductor devices (8541), and related manufacturing equipment. On top of base MFN rate.
EV batteries: effective Sep 2024. Non-EV batteries (consumer electronics, power tools): effective Jan 2026. HTS 8507.60 series.
Most consumer electronics from China face Section 301 List 4A (7.5%) or Lists 1-3 (25%) tariffs on top of base MFN rates. Laptops, phones, and tablets were historically excluded but coverage is expanding.
Effective Feb 24, 2026. Applies to electronics from all countries (except USMCA-qualifying from CA/MX). Adds to the already stacked Section 301 rates.

Illustrative rates. Section 122 (10%) applies to most imports. Use our calculator for exact total rates.
Calculate total duty with all layers stacked: MFN + Section 301 (7.5-50%) + Section 122 (10%) + MPF + HMF. Compare China vs. Vietnam vs. Mexico sourcing.
Upload a photo of an electronic component or device. AI identifies the product type, key specifications, and suggests the correct HTS code with duty rates.
Check USMCA eligibility for electronics assembled in Mexico or Canada. Many electronics qualify for duty-free treatment under USMCA rules of origin.
