Pick your country of origin and search your exact pharmaceuticals product — the calculator stacks the base HTS rate, Section 232 and the country layer, and lets you refine by product form and content.

The US pharmaceuticals tariff depends on the exact HTS classification of your product and its country of origin. The base HTS duty applies to every entry, and additional Section 301/232 measures may stack on top for specific origins.
Country of origin then layers on top: the same pharmaceuticals shipment can cost far more from a higher-tier origin or one subject to Section 301 than from a USMCA partner. Enter your origin and value in the calculator above to see the base duty, the pharmaceuticals measure and the country layer itemised — and confirm the final number with a customs broker before filing.
