A freight forwarder receives a shipment of power tools (drills, sanders, grinders) manufactured in China destined for the US market. Upon customs entry, Section 301 tariffs are automatically assessed on top of standard import duties. These tariffs cannot simply be passed through to customers without careful cost analysis; they require precise tariff classification, country-of-origin verification, and ongoing rate monitoring. Many importers absorb these costs or structure supply chains to mitigate them.
