HTS Chapter 39
Plastics & Rubber Import Tariffs
Plastics and rubber products carry base MFN rates of 3-6.5%. Section 301 tariffs add 25% on Chinese-origin plastics, which is significant because China is the largest source of US plastics imports. Section 122 adds 10% globally. Some Section 301 exclusions remain active for specific plastic products, providing temporary relief. The total effective rate from China can exceed 35%.
