What tariffs apply to Thailand imports into the US?
Thai goods are subject to standard MFN duty rates. Section 232 tariffs apply to steel and aluminum. AD/CVD orders cover solar cells, steel pipe, shrimp, mattresses, rubber bands, and other products. A 36% IEEPA tariff was announced but is currently paused at 10% Section 122 baseline. No Section 301 tariffs apply to Thai-origin goods.
Is there a free trade agreement between the US and Thailand?
No. The US and Thailand have a Trade and Investment Framework Agreement (TIFA), but no comprehensive FTA. TIFA provides a framework for trade discussions but does not grant preferential tariff rates. Thai goods enter the US at standard MFN rates.
What AD/CVD orders affect Thailand imports?
Active AD/CVD orders on Thai goods include: crystalline silicon photovoltaic cells (solar), certain steel pipe, shrimp, mattresses, rubber bands, and canned pineapple in heavy syrup. Thailand has significant AD/CVD exposure across multiple product categories. Verify by HTS code in the ITA database.
What is the transshipment risk for Thailand imports?
CBP investigates goods of Chinese origin transshipped through Thailand to circumvent Section 301 tariffs and AD/CVD orders. Products that undergo only minor processing in Thailand (relabeling, repackaging, minor assembly) retain Chinese origin. Importers sourcing from Thailand in categories subject to China AD/CVD or Section 301 must document substantial transformation.
Does Thailand face Section 232 steel tariffs?
Yes. Thai steel is subject to the 25% Section 232 tariff and aluminum faces 10%. Thailand has not negotiated a TRQ arrangement. All Thai steel and aluminum imports are subject to the full Section 232 rates.
How do I calculate import duties from Thailand to the US?
Enter the HTS code, product value, and select Thailand as the country of origin. The calculator applies the current MFN rate, checks for active AD/CVD orders on Thai goods, and adds any applicable Section 232 surcharge.
Can Thailand import duties change?
Yes. The IEEPA 36% tariff is paused but could be reinstated. AD/CVD rates are reviewed annually and new investigations can open additional product categories. The transshipment enforcement environment can change based on CBP targeting priorities.

Thailand is a major U.S. manufacturing and sourcing hub for electronics, automotive parts, and consumer goods — but it carries significant AD/CVD exposure and transshipment enforcement risk.
AD/CVD and transshipment risk make supplier vetting and origin documentation critical for Thailand imports.
For active duty orders, consult the ITA AD/CVD database. Verify current rates and procedures at CBP.gov and check USTR’s Thailand trade page for policy updates before finalizing Thailand shipments.
Frequently asked questions
What costs does this calculator include?
The calculator covers the base MFN duty rate (HTS-based), Section 232 surcharges, active AD/CVD rates, IEEPA tariffs, and potential Section 301 exposure for goods with substantial Chinese-origin content. Customs value is calculated on a CIF basis. MPF and HMF apply at entry but are not included.
Is Thailand directly subject to Section 301 tariffs?
Not directly. Section 301 targets Chinese-origin goods. However, goods assembled in Thailand using substantial Chinese-origin inputs may retain Chinese origin under CBP substantial transformation rules. CBP has increased enforcement on transshipment through Thailand, particularly in solar panels and electronics.
What replaced IEEPA tariffs on Thailand imports?
The Supreme Court struck down IEEPA-based tariffs on Feb 20, 2026, in a 6-3 ruling. Section 122 of the Trade Act of 1974 now provides the authority for emergency global tariffs. CBP is currently collecting at 10% on Thailand imports under Section 122. Goods assembled in Thailand with Chinese-origin inputs may face additional Section 301 review. Verify at CBP.gov.
What AD/CVD orders affect Thailand imports?
Active orders on Thai goods include: solar cells and panels, steel pipe, steel wire rod, shrimp, polyethylene retail bags, and certain rubber products. Rates vary by producer and annual review cycle. Verify the current applicable rate by HTS code in the ITA AD/CVD database.
Did Thailand have GSP benefits?
Yes. Thailand had GSP eligibility for many products. However, GSP expired in December 2020 and has not been renewed by Congress. Thai goods now enter at full MFN rates, eliminating the duty preference that previously applied to many manufactured goods and agricultural products.
How do I find my HTS code for this calculator?
Your HTS code is the 10-digit number that determines your base duty rate and tariff eligibility for goods imported from Thailand. Use the USITC HTS database to search by product description. The first 6 digits follow the international Harmonized System; digits 7-10 are US-specific. Enter the 10-digit code in Captain’s calculator to get MFN rates, Section 232 exposure, and active AD/CVD orders for Thailand goods.
What is Section 122 and how does it affect this calculator?
Section 122 of the Trade Act of 1974 authorizes the President to impose an emergency global tariff of up to 15% on imports for up to 150 days. After the Supreme Court struck down IEEPA tariffs on Feb 20, 2026, Section 122 became the operative authority for the 10% global emergency rate. CBP is currently collecting at 10% on most Thailand goods under Section 122. Captain includes this rate in all landed cost calculations for Thailand imports.
