Import duty is the tax payable on most imports as they come into the United States. This is a tax levied, collected by, and administered by US Customs and the United States International Trade Commission (USITC). Duty rates vary from product to product, but you can look up yours using the US Harmonized Tariff Schedule.

If you’ve never used the schedule before, the same website offers an overview of its use.
