From MFG Calcs data: Hand tools

U.S. imports of hand tools (headings 8203, 8204, 8205) came to $2.70B in 2025, with $669M in calculated duty: an effective duty of 24.8%, every duty included.

Effective duty in Sep 2026: 20.8%, against 32.5% in Sep 2025.

Largest sources in 2025: Taiwan $808M at 16.7% effective duty; China $732M at 49.7% effective duty; Vietnam $297M at 17.4% effective duty; India $145M at 22.3% effective duty; Germany $137M at 13.5% effective duty.

These are family totals from U.S. import statistics published through USITC DataWeb, not this heading's rate alone; effective duty is calculated duty as a share of customs value, an estimate, not a ruling.

About these rates

The rates are those printed in the 2026 HTS Revision 23, published by the U.S. International Trade Commission. A 10-digit statistical line takes the rates printed on the 8-digit line above it. Chapter 99 duties (Section 232, Section 301, IEEPA) depend on the product, the origin and the date, are charged on top, and are not included. A code here is a strong lead, not a ruling: confirm it with a customs broker or a CBP binding ruling.
