Every year, US importers lose money to a number they never calculated correctly.

Illustrative example · real 2026 US tariff rates

A $40,000 container that really cost $56,400.

A US furniture importer sourcing from China sees a clean $40,000 supplier invoice. What the invoice doesn't show: Section 301 (25%), the forced-labor tariff (12.5%), MPF, HMF and freight stack on top — a 41% gap that stays invisible until the port. Price off the invoice and the margin is gone.

Zentria surfaces the real number before the PO — so you price for profit, not surprise.

Supplier invoice$40,000
+ Section 301 (25%)$10,000
+ Forced-labor tariff (12.5%)$5,000
+ MPF + HMF$189
+ Freight & insurance$1,220
True landed cost$56,409

Illustrative scenario: wooden furniture (HTS 9403.60.80) from China, $40,000 FOB, using the rates in force in September 2026 — 0% MFN, 25% Section 301 (List 3), 12.5% forced-labor tariff, MPF and HMF on the FOB value. Not a specific customer. Your numbers depend on your product, origin and Incoterm.

Methodology

How the number is calculated

Where the rates come from

Duty rates come from the USITC Harmonized Tariff Schedule (checked live where available), China Section 301 list membership parsed from HTSUS Chapter 99, and USTR's forced-labor tariff tiers, which replaced the expired Section 122 surcharge on 24 July 2026. Exchange rates are fetched live, not cached.

What the number includes

MFN duty, Section 301 where the origin is China, the forced-labor tariff, Section 232 for metals, autos and wood, MPF and HMF, VAT or GST for the destination, freight, insurance and brokerage — itemised, so you can check each line rather than trust a total.

What it is not

An estimate for planning, not a customs filing. Classification drives everything, and a wrong HS code changes the answer — verify with a licensed customs broker before you file. We show the code used so you can challenge it.

Why importers switch

The old way is costing you money.

Most importers discover they've been underpricing by 15–40% once they run a proper landed cost calculation.

The Section 122 surcharge expired. Your tariff didn't go away.

On 24 July 2026 a forced-labor Section 301 tariff replaced it: 12.5% on China, Vietnam and Thailand, 10% on India, Indonesia and the UK, and a 10–12.5% combined rate for the EU, Japan and Korea. It stacks on MFN duty and China's Section 301 lists. Check your landed cost before your next order.

US Customs Framework

HTS codes, CBP, and Section 301 — what every US importer must know

US imports are classified under a 10-digit HTS code (Harmonized Tariff Schedule). Your base MFN duty comes from the HTSUS; China-origin goods add Section 301 (7.5–25% on most lists, up to 100% for a few products), and goods from 60 economies add the 10–12.5% forced-labor tariff. Duty is charged on the transaction (FOB) value. On top, you pay the Merchandise Processing Fee (MPF, 0.3464% of entered value, min $34.58 / max $670.86) and the Harbor Maintenance Fee (HMF, 0.125%, ocean only). Importers on DDP terms with a Chinese supplier should check who pays these — mistakes cost thousands per container.

1

10-digit HTS code determines your base duty rate — a single digit error can swing rates by 12%

2

Section 301 China lists: Lists 1–3 carry 25%, List 4A 7.5%; List 4B (laptops, phones, toys) is suspended

3

The $800 de minimis exemption is suspended for every country — even small parcels owe duty

4

CBP Form 7501 (Entry Summary) must be filed within 10 working days of cargo release

Platform capabilities

Three automation layers. One platform.

Zentria Flow replaces spreadsheets, broker quotes, and manual email re-entry with AI-verified automation — from the first supplier email to the final duty payment.

1

Dynamic landed cost automation

Zentria computes the full landed cost stack — MFN duty, China Section 301 list rates, the 10–12.5% forced-labor tariff, Section 232, EU/UK/Turkey VAT, MPF, HMF, freight, and brokerage — in under 2 seconds. Rates come from the 2026 Harmonized Tariff Schedule and USTR's published lists, not static spreadsheet models. Unlike CargoWise (requires a full TMS license) or SAP GTS (requires a certified implementation partner and 6-month setup), Zentria activates in 10 minutes with a free tier.

2

Email-first workflow automation

Suppliers send rate quotes, booking confirmations, and customs invoices as unstructured emails and PDF attachments. Zentria's AI reads supplier emails, extracts structured shipment data (HS code, Incoterm, cargo weight, declared value), validates against current tariff rules, and creates draft TMS records — all with human-in-the-loop approval before any booking is confirmed. This is email-to-TMS booking automation with a full AI audit trail.

3

AI trade compliance automation

Zentria pre-validates trade compliance before goods ship — not after CBP flags an error. The AI classifies every product to the correct 8-digit HS code, checks FTA eligibility (USMCA, EAEU, RCEP, EU-Turkey Customs Union), monitors live anti-dumping orders from USITC, and writes every classification decision to an immutable audit trail that satisfies CBP Reasonable Care documentation requirements. The AI is bounded: duty rates cannot change by more than ±3%; every override requires human approval.
