United States Import & Export Toolkit
The US is the world's largest importer. This hub covers LC cost in USD on ACT/360, HTSUS classification, Section 301 China tariffs, MPF/HMF add-ons, USMCA preferential origin and Incoterms best practice for CBP-facing trade.
Currency
USD (US Dollar)
No federal VAT / GST
0% federal
State sales & use tax (0-10%+) applies at final sale, not at import. Import consumption is not federally taxed the way EU/UK VAT is.
Duty regime
HTSUS (Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States) - 10 digits. MFN column-1 rates for WTO members, column-2 for non-normal-trade-relations countries. Preferential rates under USMCA, KORUS, CAFTA-DR, US-Israel, US-Australia and GSP (partial). Section 301 tariffs of 7.5%-25% apply on many Chinese-origin goods; Section 232 on steel/aluminium.

Trade finance in United States
- · USD LC usance interest is quoted ACT/360 - the global standard for dollar trade finance.
- · US banks issue LCs at 0.15-0.30% per quarter for domestic beneficiaries. Confirmation of foreign LCs by US banks costs 0.20-0.50% per quarter depending on issuer risk.
- · OFAC sanctions screening is mandatory - all US persons and USD transactions are subject to OFAC jurisdiction regardless of where the LC is issued. Our OFAC checker screens beneficiary and applicant names against the SDN list.
- · Standby LCs governed by ISP98 (rather than UCP 600) dominate US domestic performance and financial-standby usage. Commercial import LCs still follow UCP 600.
Customs & duty in United States
- · HTSUS is 10 digits. First 6 align with WCO HS; digits 7-8 are US tariff sub-headings; 9-10 are statistical.
- · MPF (Merchandise Processing Fee): 0.3464% of entered value, min $32.71, max $634.62 per formal entry (2025 rates - adjusted annually).
- · HMF (Harbor Maintenance Fee): 0.125% of value, ocean imports only, no minimum or maximum.
- · Section 301 tariffs: 7.5%-25%+ on many Chinese-origin goods across 4 lists. Section 232: 25% steel, 10% aluminium (subject to country-specific quotas and exclusions).
- · USMCA preferential origin requires a certificate of origin with 9 mandatory data elements; producer, exporter or importer can certify.
Incoterms 2020 practice in United States
- · FOB is used loosely in the US for domestic sales (Uniform Commercial Code definition ≠ Incoterms). For international shipments, always cite 'Incoterms 2020' expressly.
- · DDP into the US requires the seller to be the Importer of Record - possible via a US-based agent or Foreign Trade Zone (FTZ). Duty and MPF/HMF liability sits with the IOR.
- · CIF, CFR and FCA are the practical Incoterms for most containerised US imports.

Frequently asked questions
How is US import duty calculated?
Entered value (typically transaction value = price paid + assists) → HTSUS duty rate → add MPF (0.3464%, capped) and HMF (0.125%, ocean only) → add Section 301 / 232 tariffs where applicable. Use our Import Duty Calculator with the 'USA' preset.
Do I need to worry about Section 301 tariffs?
Yes if you import goods of Chinese origin. Even goods shipped from a third country still attract Section 301 if the substantial-transformation origin is China. Our HS Code Lookup flags high-risk chapters.
What is the Importer of Record?
The IOR is the party legally responsible for filing entry, paying duty and complying with US laws. Foreign sellers doing DDP need a US-based IOR or must appoint a customs broker with power of attorney.
Does the US have VAT on imports?
No federal VAT. State sales & use tax applies at final consumer sale, not at customs entry. This is a key structural difference from EU/UK/India landed-cost calculations.
