In 2025, USITC reported an effective calculated-duty rate of 0.91% for molds and die sets imported from Canada, calculated as reported Calculated Duties divided by covered customs value. It reflects the observed entry mix but does not identify the legal cause of the rate or determine an entry-specific duty.

The U.S. imported $847.9M of molds and die sets from Canada in 2025, 37.2% of the tracked molds and die sets it imports, ranking Canada the largest named source. The chart above traces the retained reported years; a year with no retained source row is unknown, not zero.

That is an additional import burden alongside the reported effective calculated-duty rate; a country-specific invoice price is still required for a comparable landed unit cost.
About this data
- Reference statistics derived from USITC published data. Not a customs ruling. MFN-Free and Special-rate fields describe statutory line coverage only; final entry liability requires origin, date, eligibility, exclusions and other transaction facts. Calculated Duties are statistical estimates, not a cash-collections ledger. Confirm classification, origin, program eligibility, and final entry liability with a licensed customs broker.
