Trump-era tariffs are back, and importers are scrambling.
From Section 301 to EO 14257, the July 9 policy reinstatements have left businesses rushing to reassess sourcing, compare suppliers, and calm nervous customers.
If you’re looking for a faster, clearer way to check U.S. duty rates by country and HTS code, you’re not alone.
That’s exactly why Logixboard built the U.S. Imports Tariff Lookup Tool: a self-serve solution for freight forwarders and their customers.
What’s Changing with U.S. Import Tariffs
In July 2025, the U.S. reinstated several key trade policies that had been previously rolled back:
- Section 301 tariffs on goods from China
- EO 14257, adding complexity to existing duties
- Updates that affect thousands of goods across industries
As a result, importers and their logistics partners are facing tough questions.
Why Traditional Tariff Lookups Fall Short
Most importers turn to government databases like the USITC’s HTS Search. But those tools:
- Don’t reflect real-world final duty rates
- Exclude extra policies like Section 301 or EO 14257
- Lack side-by-side comparisons for supplier decisions
- Are not built for speed or clarity
Meanwhile, forwarders are dealing with rising call volume and overwhelmed ops teams.
Meet the U.S. Imports Tariff Lookup Tool
Logixboard’s new lookup tool was built to quickly address these exact pain points.
With just an HTS code and origin country, you can:
- Check final U.S. duty rates, including 301 tariffs and EO 14257 overlays
- Compare sourcing options side-by-side (e.g., Vietnam vs China)
- Uncover savings opportunities through FTAs or trade programs
- Share a clean, customer-ready result with importers
And yes—it goes beyond what USITC publishes.
