QUICK ANSWER As of November 9, 2026, US tariffs by country sit on top of the normal rate on the product's HTS line. Goods from 60 listed economies pay an extra 10 or 12.5 percent under Section 301, with a combined cap for the EU, Taiwan, Japan, South Korea and Switzerland. China, Brazil and listed Canadian products pay more, and Section 232 duties apply by product. Other origins outside Column 2 pay no country tariff.

US tariffs by country changed more than once in 2026, so a rate from last year's list can be wrong today. Every rate below comes from the Federal Register, the USITC Harmonized Tariff Schedule (HTS) or CBP. The full entry process is in the guide on how to import goods into the US.

Tariff rates by country of origin on November 9, 2026

Since July 24, 2026, a Section 301 tariff from USTR's forced labor investigations has applied to all products of 60 economies (FR 2026-15181). The rate is 10 percent where the economy bans forced labor imports or has pledged to ban them, and 12.5 percent elsewhere. It is added to the HTS General rate unless a combined cap applies.

Vietnam 12.5% 9903.05.84
Belarus, Cuba, North Korea Not listed Column 2 rates; goods of Cuba and North Korea cannot be imported without an OFAC license
Any other origin Not listed General rate, plus any product-based duty such as Section 232 or antidumping and countervailing duties (AD/CVD)

Annex exemptions apply in every row, with extra ones for 13 economies. The rate follows the country of origin, not the port of shipment. The other duties on Indian goods are in the guide to importing from India, and those on Vietnamese goods in the guide to import tax from Vietnam.

The capped rate for the EU, Japan, South Korea, Switzerland and Taiwan

For these five, the Section 301 duty tops the Column 1 rate that applies, General or a claimed trade agreement rate, up to the cap: 10 percent for the EU and Taiwan, 12.5 percent for Japan, South Korea and Switzerland. If that rate already meets the cap, the Section 301 duty is zero.

Extra Section 301 duties on China, Brazil and Nicaragua

Products of China on a Section 301 list pay their 12.5 percent on top of list duties of 25 percent (Lists 1 to 3) or 7.5 percent (List 4A); List 4B is suspended, so goods found only there pay the 12.5 percent alone. The 2024 review raised some products to as much as 100 percent (FR 2024-21217). The guides to Section 301 tariffs on China and import tax from China cover the lists and the full bill.

Since July 22, 2026, Brazil's goods have paid a further 25 percent under Section 301, except goods under the Section 232 metals, vehicle, timber, semiconductor and patented pharmaceutical headings, civil aircraft and the products listed in the notice's annexes (FR 2026-14542).

Nicaragua's goods that do not originate under the Dominican Republic-Central America-United States Free Trade Agreement (CAFTA-DR) carry a separate Section 301 duty: 0 percent today, 10 percent from 2027 and 15 percent from 2028 (FR 2025-22690).

Canada and Mexico: what USMCA still exempts

Products of Canada and Mexico entered duty-free under USMCA do not pay the 10 percent (HTS 9903.05.93 and 9903.05.94). Other goods do. The USMCA certification of origin guide covers the claim document.

Three Section 338 lists of Canadian products, set in Proclamations 11046, 11047 and 11048 in answer to Canada's treatment of US alcoholic beverages, dairy and motor vehicles, have carried an extra 50 percent since August 22, 2026 (Proclamation 11056). The lists reach well beyond those goods, from cheese and wine to lumber, paper, furniture and phones. USMCA goods pay it too. The September 15 revision put that duty on top of Section 232, except under heading 9903.03.13. Since September 29, some products on those three lists cannot be imported at all (FR 2026-18835, 2026-18836 and 2026-18837).

Countries not on the forced labor tariff list

An origin outside the 60 economies and outside Column 2 pays no country-wide tariff: its goods pay the General rate plus any product-based duty on their HTS line, such as Section 232 or AD/CVD. Country rates shown for these origins on 2025 tariff lists are out of date. The guide to US import restrictions covers restricted origins.

The normal HTS rate behind every country rate

The HTS sets three rates for each product line: General and Special, the two subcolumns of Column 1, and the Column 2 rate (HTS General Notes). Each country tariff above is added to one of them. Column 1 General is the normal trade relations (NTR) rate for every country except the four marked Column 2 in the table above, whose products pay the Column 2 rate. Column 1 Special holds the lower rates of trade agreements and preference programs.

Free trade agreement rates after July 24, 2026

The Special column still cuts the base rate for qualifying goods, but under U.S. note 52 to Chapter 99 those goods also pay the forced labor tariff. Two groups are exempt when entered duty-free: USMCA goods, and CAFTA-DR textile and apparel goods from Costa Rica, the Dominican Republic, El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras and Nicaragua. Listed goods of El Salvador and Guatemala entered under CAFTA-DR are exempt as well.

Section 232 duties that apply whatever the origin

Section 232 duties are set by product group and charged on goods from any origin. The rates below come from HTS Chapter 99, and the programs from CBP's trade remedies page, which also lists a Section 232 program for polysilicon.

Section 232 rates by program, November 9, 2026

Program Rate Named countries
Steel, aluminum, copper 50%, including many derivatives; other listed derivatives 25%; fixed industrial machinery, power and farm equipment and home HVAC 15% in total UK 25% or 15%; mobile industrial equipment 15% in total from the EU, Japan, South Korea, Switzerland, Liechtenstein, Taiwan, the UK, Argentina, Ecuador, El Salvador and Guatemala; Russian aluminum 200%
Passenger vehicles, light trucks, parts 25%; USMCA vehicles 25% on non-US content; USMCA parts exempt EU, Japan, South Korea 15%; UK 7.5% vehicles, 10% parts; Taiwan parts 15%
Medium and heavy vehicles, parts 25%; buses 10%
Timber and lumber Softwood lumber 10%; upholstered wooden furniture, kitchen cabinets, vanities 25% UK 10%; EU, Japan, South Korea, Taiwan 15%
Semiconductors 25%, with listed exemptions
Patented pharmaceuticals 100%; generics none EU, Japan, South Korea, Switzerland, Liechtenstein 15%; UK 0%
Unmanned aircraft systems Drones over 25 kg, drones with thermal imaging, docking stations and parts for drones over 25 kg 100%; other drones 25% UK 10%; EU, Japan, South Korea, Switzerland, Liechtenstein, Taiwan 15%, if their critical components and technology come from these countries or the US

Goods under the 232 metals, vehicle, timber, semiconductor and patented pharmaceutical headings pay neither the forced labor tariff nor Brazil's 25 percent.

Tariffs that ended in 2026

Many tariff lists online still show rates CBP no longer collects. In Learning Resources, Inc. v. Trump, decided on February 20, 2026, the Supreme Court found that the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (IEEPA) gives the President no power to impose tariffs, which ended the IEEPA reciprocal and fentanyl tariffs. A temporary 10 percent Section 122 surcharge on imports from all countries followed from February 24. It lapsed at 12:01 a.m. on July 24, 2026 (proclamation). CBP has accepted IEEPA refund claims through its Consolidated Administration and Processing of Entries (CAPE) tool since April 20, 2026; the guide to tariff refunds covers claims.

1 The product's 10-digit HTS code USITC HTS
2 General, Special or Column 2 rate USITC HTS

5 Section 232 coverage CBP trade remedies page
6 AD/CVD orders and any other product-based duty CBP AD/CVD page
7 A firm answer CBP binding ruling

The USITC database gives a likely rate; the final determination is CBP's (CBP, Determining Duty Rates). The import duty calculator totals the rates for a shipment. De minimis is suspended for all countries; FR 2026-12670 made the suspension indefinite from June 24, 2026 for every mode except international mail, and a concurrent CBP rule did the same for mail.

One product, eight origins: a worked comparison

The example assumes a 4 percent General rate, a $10,000 customs value and no Section 232, AD/CVD or annex exemption.

Duty on $10,000 of one product from eight origins

Origin Rate Duty
Vietnam 16.5% (4% + 12.5%) $1,650
India 14% (4% + 10%) $1,400
European Union 10% (4% + 6%) $1,000
Japan 12.5% (4% + 8.5%) $1,250
Canada, USMCA duty-free, not on a 338 list 0% $0
Canada, without USMCA 14% (4% + 10%) $1,400
Brazil 41.5% (4% + 25% + 12.5%) $4,150
China, List 3 41.5% (4% + 25% + 12.5%) $4,150
Origin off the list, outside Column 2 4% $400

The merchandise processing fee (MPF), the harbor maintenance fee (HMF) and freight sit outside the table; the guide to landed cost adds them.

TAKEAWAY The HTS line, a 232 program or an AD/CVD order can change the result for any origin, and only CBP makes it final.

Common questions about US import tariffs

Which country has the highest US tariff rate right now?

Brazil carries the largest add-on applied across a country's goods: 25 percent under Section 301 plus the 12.5 percent forced labor tariff. Chinese products on Lists 1 to 3 pay the same 37.5 percent, and some products raised in the 2024 review pay up to 100 percent under Section 301. Canada's 50 percent covers listed products only, and goods of the four Column 2 countries pay the Column 2 rate in place of the General rate.

Does the US charge tariffs on imports from every country?

Every import pays the rate on its HTS line. On top of that, the 60 economies in the Section 301 forced labor action pay an extra country tariff. Origins off the list and outside Column 2 pay the HTS rate plus any product-based duty on the line, such as Section 232 or AD/CVD.

Do US tariffs depend on the product or the country of origin?

Both. The HTS code sets the base rate and any Section 232 duty. The origin adds its Chapter 99 heading, such as 12.5 percent for Vietnam or 10 percent for India, and AD/CVD orders depend on both. In the comparison above, the same $10,000 product owes $0 to $4,150 depending on its origin.

Are goods from Canada and Mexico still duty-free under USMCA?

Yes for the forced labor tariff: goods entered duty-free under USMCA still skip the 10 percent. Canada's 50 percent Section 338 duty applies to listed products even with USMCA, and Section 232 still applies, so USMCA vehicles pay 25 percent on non-US content.

Are the 2025 reciprocal tariffs still in effect?

No. The Supreme Court held on February 20, 2026 that IEEPA does not authorize tariffs, which ended the IEEPA reciprocal and fentanyl tariffs, and the 10 percent Section 122 surcharge that followed expired on July 24, 2026. Today's country tariffs come from Section 301 and, for Canada, Section 338.

What is Column 2 of the US tariff schedule?

Column 2 holds the HTS rates for products of North Korea, Belarus, Russia and Cuba (General Note 3(b)). Goods from these four pay it instead of the General rate, even when shipped through a third country. Russia is also in the forced labor action, so Russian goods pay Column 2, or 35 or 70 percent on the lines listed in HTS note 30, plus 12.5 percent.
