Duty and Freight Add 3.3% to Turbines and Fluid-power Drives From France

France shipped $6.0 billion of turbines and fluid-power drives to U.S. buyers in 2025. USITC reported an effective calculated-duty rate of 2.7%, while measured freight added 0.7% of customs value — an additive 3.3% burden before domestic logistics. The EUR moved 1.8% in favor of the buyer over the last two weeks of the FX window. No country-specific unit value is available for this lane, so it is not ranked by landed unit cost.

• reported duty rate: 2.7%
• freight share: 0.7%
• total uplift: 3.3%

The alternatives, same arithmetic: Canada at 2.3% uplift, United Kingdom at 2.4% uplift, Mexico at 4.0% uplift. At least one listed lane has a lower duty-and-freight burden; total-cost ranking still requires comparable country-specific unit values.

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.
