- Section 232: Section 232 semiconductor duty (proclamation of Jan 14, 2026, effective Jan 15, 2026): 25% applies ONLY to advanced computing accelerators meeting the TPP/DRAM-bandwidth thresholds — covered articles enter under HTSUS 8471.50 / 8471.80 / 8473.30 with HTSUS 9903.79.01. Standard logic, memory, and analog chips under 8542 and ordinary computer units/parts are NOT subject. Exemptions: US data centers (9903.79.03), repair/replacement (9903.79.04), R&D (9903.79.05), startups (9903.79.06), consumer electronics (9903.79.07), civil industrial (9903.79.08), public sector (9903.79.09). Not auto-applied: the technical thresholds cannot be determined from the HTS code alone.
- Section 232 auto parts: This HTS code is on the Section 232 automobile-parts list (U.S. note 33(g); CBP CSMS #64913145). If imported as a part of a passenger vehicle or light truck, an additional 25% Section 232 duty applies under HTSUS 9903.94.05, and Section 122 would not stack on top. Goods under this code that are NOT automobile parts, or that qualify for USMCA preference, are entered under 9903.94.06 with no auto-parts duty. Not auto-applied: part identity cannot be determined from the HTS code alone.
Stack priced from China on a $10,000 customs value, ocean entry. Other origins carry different programs; the calculator prices any of them.
