HTS Chapters 01-24

Food & Agriculture Import Tariffs

Food and agriculture has the widest tariff range of any sector — from Free on many tropical products to 350%+ on over-quota dairy imports. Tariff-rate quotas (TRQs) govern sugar, dairy, beef, and other sensitive products. Section 301 adds 25% on many Chinese agricultural goods. Section 122 adds 10% globally, though USMCA-qualifying goods from Mexico and Canada are exempt. The sector is shaped more by trade agreements and TRQs than by flat tariff rates.
