What China-origin goods pay today
For China-origin goods entered from July 24, 2026 the duty is built from the layers below. A product on Section 301 List 3, for example, usually pays its MFN rate + 25% (Section 301) + 12.5% (forced-labor duty); goods covered by the Section 232 provisions listed in U.S. note 52(f) pay Section 232 instead of the forced-labor duty.

| Section 232 | Steel, aluminum, copper, autos and parts, trucks, lumber and furniture, semiconductors, patented drugs, whatever the origin | 10% to 100% | If covered |
| Antidumping / countervailing duty | Products under an AD/CVD order; China has the most active orders | Case-specific | If covered |
| Section 122 surcharge | Goods entered February 24 – July 23, 2026 | 10% | Ended |
| IEEPA fentanyl and reciprocal duties | Goods entered before February 24, 2026 | Fentanyl 10–20%, reciprocal 10–125% | Ended; refundable |
