Duty and Freight Add 2.4% to Turbines and Fluid-power Drives From United Kingdom

United Kingdom shipped $4.5 billion of turbines and fluid-power drives to U.S. buyers in 2025. USITC reported an effective calculated-duty rate of 1.7%, while measured freight added 0.8% of customs value — an additive 2.4% 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: 1.7%
• freight share: 0.8%
• total uplift: 2.4%

The alternatives, same arithmetic: Canada at 2.3% uplift, France at 3.3% 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.
