Amazon FBA Imports from China

Amazon FBA imports from China face compounding tariffs in 2026: Section 301 tariffs (7.5–25% depending on HTS code) plus IEEPA 'reciprocal tariff' rates that brought the combined effective tariff on Chinese goods to 145% for many categories as of April 2025. Additionally, the de minimis exemption ($800 per-person-per-day threshold) was eliminated for Chinese-origin goods effective May 2, 2025, meaning every FBA shipment — even low-value parcels — now requires formal entry and payment of all applicable duties.

For FBA unit cost modeling: calculate total duties on your HTS code, divide by units per carton, and add to your per-unit cost. The end of de minimis dramatically increases the landed cost of low-value goods.

Compliance risk notes
  • 1De minimis elimination for China means Section 321 low-value entry (previously $800 duty-free) is no longer available for Chinese-origin goods — every shipment requires a formal entry and full duty payment.
  • 2IEEPA tariffs on Chinese goods brought the combined rate (Section 301 + IEEPA) to 145% for many categories in April 2025 — verify the current combined rate for your specific HTS code as negotiations may change rates.
  • 3Amazon has implemented a 'Import Fee Deposit' for China-direct shipments — this reflects the tariff cost, but sellers should verify it matches their actual HTS-based duty liability.
  • 4Counterfeit goods, IP-infringing products, and goods without UPC/EAN barcodes face additional CBP and Amazon enforcement at entry.
  • 5CBP's Remote Location Filing (RLF) and electronic filing requirements mean all FBA ocean/air shipments must have electronic entry filed before arrival.
FAQ: What tariff rate do Amazon FBA sellers pay on goods from China in 2026?

Can I still use the $800 de minimis exemption for FBA goods from China?

No. The de minimis exemption for Chinese-origin goods was eliminated by executive action effective May 2, 2025. Every shipment of Chinese-origin goods, regardless of value, now requires formal customs entry and payment of all applicable duties. This significantly increases the cost basis for FBA sellers sourcing from China.

How do I calculate the total tariff cost per unit for an Amazon FBA product from China?

Step 1: Identify your 10-digit HTS code. Step 2: Find the MFN base rate + Section 301 rate + current IEEPA rate for that HTS. Step 3: Apply the combined rate to the customs value (FOB China price). Step 4: Add MPF ($29 min, $614.35 max per entry, or 0.3464% for informal entries). Step 5: Divide total duty by number of units in the shipment.

Should I shift my FBA sourcing from China to Vietnam or India?

Many FBA sellers are diversifying sourcing to Vietnam, India, Bangladesh, or Mexico to escape China-specific tariffs. The key considerations are: (1) Can the supplier match Chinese quality and price? (2) Is the origin genuinely non-Chinese (supply chain tracing required)? (3) What is the MFN or FTA rate for that country? Use the tariff calculator to compare landed cost across origin countries.
