Importing from the UK to the US: Duty, Fees & Landed Cost (2026)

Estimate a UK purchase using manufacturing origin, goods-only customs value, product exemptions and the actual entry procedure.

Confirm where the product was made

A UK shop or dispatch warehouse does not establish UK manufacturing origin. Use the invoice, label and supplier evidence; unknown origin needs confirmation before a duty estimate.

Separate customs value from landed cost

Start with the goods-only invoice price and required valuation additions. Exclude actual, identifiable international freight only with transport documentation. Keep freight in landed cost. Do not simply subtract an estimated shipping charge from a freight-inclusive invoice. Ask the seller to clarify export pricing and foreign tax treatment.

A controlled cotton-pullover example

For the representative UK-made cotton pullover, HTS 6110.20.20, the model uses 16.5% MFN plus 10% forced-labor duty. Goods $100 and documented international freight $20 produce duty of $26.50 on $100, not $31.80 on $120.

For a non-EMS postal parcel where CBP prepares entry documentation on October 2, 2026: MPF is $0, Dutiable Mail Fee $7.61 and USPS dutiable-parcel clearance $9.35. Estimated landed cost is $163.46. Postal processing without CBP-prepared documents, EMS and private courier services differ. Ordinary printed books and the selected smartphone have relevant product exemptions.
