What each of these duties is
Normal duty (MFN, column 1-General)
The normal duty is the column 1-General rate the Harmonized Tariff Schedule sets for this code. Every country the United States trades with normally pays it unless a trade agreement or a preference programme says otherwise.
Section 301 (forced labor, by country)
Since July 24, 2026 a Section 301 duty of 10% or 12.5% applies to goods from 60 economies that do not ban imports made with forced labor. It replaced the Section 122 surcharge, which had replaced the IEEPA "reciprocal" and fentanyl tariffs the Supreme Court struck down on February 20, 2026. For the EU, Japan, South Korea, Switzerland and Taiwan it works as a floor: the normal rate is topped up to 10% or 12.5%.
