Duties

The Duties lens shows the duty owed on each product, based on its HS code, country of origin, and any free trade agreement that applies. It is the last lens in the sequence: it combines the results of the others into a single rate. It depends on a confirmed HS code and country of origin.

How it works

The duty is a stacked rate: the base rate plus any additional programs that apply to the product, such as Section 301, Section 232, Section 122, IEEPA, and reciprocal tariffs. The calculation is date-aware, so it uses the rate in effect for the product's entry date. When a product qualifies under USMCA, the lens applies the 0% preferential rate automatically.

How to use it

The table shows the duty rate, the free trade agreement applied, and the total calculated duty for each product.

1. Open a product to see the program breakdown, and drill into any program to see why it applies.
2. Update inputs from the side sheet. You can adjust the HS code, country of origin, materials, USMCA qualification, or Section 301 exclusions without leaving the lens, then rerun the calculation.
3. Override the rate where needed, with documented reasoning.

A product shows no duty until it has both a confirmed HS code and a country of origin. Use rerun analysis after changing any input to recalculate with the latest data.

FAQ

Why is there no duty for a valid product? The lens needs both a confirmed HS code and a country of origin. Complete those upstream and rerun.

How does USMCA lower the rate? When the USMCA lens marks a product as Qualifies, the Duties lens applies the 0% preferential rate automatically.

How is this different from the Entry Duty Calculator? The Duties lens calculates rates across all the products in a workspace as part of the trade-readiness workflow. The standalone Entry Duty Calculator is for calculating duty on a specific entry. Use the lens to work a catalog; use the calculator for a one-off entry.
