Duty and Freight Add 0.1% to Semiconductors and Integrated Circuits From Israel

Israel shipped $4.5 billion of semiconductors and integrated circuits to U.S. buyers in 2025. USITC reported an effective calculated-duty rate of 0.0%, while measured freight added 0.1% of customs value — an additive 0.1% burden before domestic logistics. No country-specific unit value is available for this lane, so it is not ranked by landed unit cost.

• reported duty rate: 0.0%
• freight share: 0.1%
• total uplift: 0.1%

The alternatives, same arithmetic: Ireland at 0.1% uplift, Costa Rica at 0.3% uplift, Taiwan at 0.8% uplift. No listed alternative has a lower duty-and-freight burden, but that alone does not establish the lowest landed unit cost.

The effective calculated-duty rate is USITC's reported calculated duty divided by the customs value covered by those duty observations for 2025; it is not a verified cash-payment amount or proof of any particular exclusion, quota, or trade-program claim. Freight is the lane's reported import-charges share of customs value. Reference data, not a customs quote.
