How to read this chart

  • Metal rows assume the part falls under Section 232 (wholly metal at 50%, derivative at 25%). Parts under 232 are exempt from the forced-labor tariff.
  • For the EU and Taiwan, the forced-labor tariff tops up the MFN rate to a combined 10% (12.5% for Japan and Korea); if MFN is already at or above that, it adds nothing. The non-metal rows use a typical plastic part (MFN 5.3%) to show the top-up.
  • USMCA-qualifying goods from Mexico and Canada are exempt from the forced-labor tariff. Section 338 applies only to Canadian vehicles, dairy and alcoholic beverages, so most industrial parts are not covered.
  • Rates depend on HTS code, origin and entry date. This chart is for planning, not customs advice. Confirm every part with a licensed customs broker.
