Tariff formula for small packages from China to the U.S

Posted by

Here is the tariff calculation formula for small packages from China to the United States (valued at ≤ $800), combining ad valorem and specific tariffs:

 

Tariff Calculation Formula

Total Tariff = Ad Valorem Tariff + Specific Tariff

  1. Ad Valorem TariffAd Valorem Tariff=Commodity Value×Ad Valorem Tariff Rate
    • Commodity Value: The total value of goods in the package (must be ≤ $800).
    • Ad Valorem Tariff Rate: Currently 30% (subject to update based on 2025 policy adjustments).
  2. Specific TariffSpecific Tariff=Fixed Amount per Package
    • Fixed Amount: $100 per package (retained under the policy, unchanged by commodity value).

 

Example Calculation

Scenario: Shipping a $500 commodity to the U.S.

  • Ad Valorem Tariff: 500×30%=150 USD
  • Specific Tariff: $100
  • Total Tariff: 150+100=250 USD
