The base duty applies, plus those, plus China Section 301 and steel/aluminum Section 232 where they apply. US tariffs are unusually in flux, so confirm the final amount with CBP. See what changed →

On top of the US base duty of duty-free (0%), the Section 301 forced-labor duty (10%–12.5%, from 2026-07-24) applies for covered origins, and Section 301 (China) may also apply. Since the August 2025 de minimis repeal, goods are taxed regardless of value. US reciprocal tariffs were struck down as unconstitutional and halted in Feb 2026.
Whatever the headline rate, two durable factors decide what you actually pay: the US ended its $800 de minimis exemption on 2025-08-29, so Earphones / headphones is dutiable at any value — the old duty-free threshold for small parcels is gone; and the rate turns on the precise HS classification (8518.30.20 is representative here), where a small product difference can move it into another bracket.
