Electronics Import Duty: Product Exemptions and Entry Fees (2026)

A smartphone is a representative product, not every electronic device. MFN, product exclusions and entry fees must be checked separately.

The smartphone selection

The calculator selects smartphones, HTS 8517.13.00, with 0% MFN. This code is on the unconditional forced-labor product exclusion list. Its predecessor cellphone classification was in the suspended China List 4B; the calculator therefore does not add a blanket China 25% duty to this phone.

IEEPA duties ended February 24, 2026. This model does not restart them on a former suspension-expiry date. Other electronic products may have different Section 301 lists, Section 232 treatment, compound duties or exclusions and need their actual HTS classification.

Duty-free is not a universal fee statement

Ordinary mail is generally MPF-exempt. The non-EMS Dutiable Mail Fee and USPS dutiable-parcel clearance fee are not modeled when duty is zero. A different entry procedure or private brokerage contract can still create charges.

Private carrier fees need a service-specific quote. The calculator shows government charges and an incomplete subtotal until you enter that quote; it does not declare one carrier cheapest.
