Default rates, as of October 13, 2026
Where each default comes from.
The July 2026 Section 301 action replaced the temporary Section 122 duty on July 24, 2026. It added 12.5% to Vietnam origin and topped Taiwan origin up to 10% including MFN. The China Section 301 lists of 2018–2019 still apply on top for China. MFN rates were read from the USITC tariff schedule for each line in the menu on October 13, 2026. 178 China list exclusions run through November 10, 2026; if your China number relies on one, run it again without it.

Questions
What importers ask about moving origin.
Do China Section 301 tariffs apply to goods made in Taiwan or Vietnam?
No. The 2018–2019 China lists apply to China-origin goods. Since July 24, 2026, Taiwan-origin goods are generally topped up to 10% total with the MFN rate, and Vietnam-origin goods pay 12.5% on top of MFN (USTR, July 23, 2026). Neither carries the China lists.
What does China origin pay in October 2026?
The MFN rate for the HTS line, plus the China Section 301 list duty if the line is on a list (25% on Lists 1–3, 7.5% on List 4A; List 4B is suspended), plus 12.5% under the July 2026 Section 301 action. Section 232 metals carry their own rate and are exempt from the July 2026 layer.
Can I ship Chinese goods through Taiwan or Vietnam to get the lower rate?
No. Origin is substantial transformation, not the port on the bill of lading. A Chinese part shipped through Taiwan or Vietnam is still China-origin. The saving only exists if the product is really made there.
Is this customs advice?
No. It is an illustration with editable rates. Your HTS classification, exclusions, Section 232 status and the date of entry decide the real duty, and rates change often. A licensed customs broker should confirm your line before you price a move.
Why does the calculator ask about price differences?
Because the duty saving is only half of it. If the Taiwan or Vietnam factory price is higher, the landed cost decides whether the move pays. Put in your quotes, or ask Jack for a Taiwan and Vietnam quote on the part.
