U.S. Imports of Rubber materials and products From China
In 2025, U.S. importers brought in $950.2M of rubber materials and products from China; USITC reported an effective calculated-duty rate of 45.37% for that flow. That makes China the 2nd-largest named source of this family, at 10.3% of tracked rubber materials and products imports. The family-wide effective calculated-duty rate is 11.22%, so China's observed rate is 34.1 points more than average. Freight and insurance add 8.61% on top of customs value. Tracked-family figures are a floor on total bilateral trade, from USITC DataWeb data.

Frequently asked questions
- What tariff does the U.S. charge on rubber materials and products from China? In 2025, USITC reported an effective calculated-duty rate of 45.37% for rubber materials and products imported from China, 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.
- How much rubber materials and products does the U.S. import from China? The U.S. imported $950.2M of rubber materials and products from China in 2025, 10.3% of the tracked rubber materials and products it imports, ranking China the 2nd-largest named source. The chart above traces the retained reported years; a year with no retained source row is unknown, not zero.
- What does freight add on rubber materials and products from China? Cost, insurance, and freight ran 8.61% of customs value on rubber materials and products from China in 2025. 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.
