As of June 19, 2025, U.S. import tariffs vary widely depending on the product and country of origin. Goods from China face layered duties, including Section 301 tariffs ranging from 7.5% to 100% (with electric vehicles hit the hardest), a 20% tariff tied to fentanyl-related enforcement, and a temporary 10% reciprocal tariff under IEEPA rules. Auto imports are subject to 25% Section 232 tariffs across the board—including from Mexico and Canada—unless they qualify for preferential treatment under the USMCA. Select auto parts are also affected. Separately, a steep 50% tariff applies to certain steel and aluminum products from nearly all countries, with limited exemptions for the UK.
New Customs and Border Protection (CBP) guidance outlines a "non-stacking" order for applying overlapping tariffs—starting with auto tariffs, then aluminum, steel, and finally fentanyl-related duties from Canada and Mexico. However, Section 301 tariffs and China-specific fentanyl tariffs still apply in addition to other duties. These layered and evolving rules make it essential for importers to carefully assess tariff exposure by product type and origin.
