U.S. food and farm duties · 2025
More than
a percent
See how ordinary U.S. import duties are written across food and farm products.
A tariff can be free, a percentage of value, an amount per kilogram or liter, or a formula that combines them. The schedule splits products into precise legal lines, so two familiar foods can face very different instructions.
Ordinary duty as written
*One specific tariff line outside named quota provisions. A product name alone does not determine the rate.
2,162 LINES READStart with one part of the schedule.
These are chapters 1–24 of the Harmonized Tariff Schedule. Choose a tile to carry that group through every view.
Prepared fruit and vegetables uses four kinds of instructions.
Each block is one legal tariff line, not one shipment or dollar of trade. Change the product group above and this mix changes with it.
Across all 2,162 lines, 616 are duty-free, 738 use only a percentage, 672 use an amount per unit, and 136 use a combined or other formula.
Compare like with like.
This view uses only lines written as a percentage of customs value. Per-unit and combined rates stay out because they cannot be compared without shipment quantity and value.
39 of this chapter’s percentage-only lines meet that threshold.
One food name can lead to several rates.

The schedule describes rules, not what shoppers paid.
The 2025 annual file contains 13,100 tariff lines. This project keeps the 2,162 lines in food and farm chapters 1–24 and groups their ordinary “most favored nation” duty instructions. Every line counts once, so the figures are not weighted by imports, value, or use.
“Ordinary” is the default rate for countries with normal trade relations. Trade agreements, quota rules, temporary measures, additional duties, classification decisions, and shipment details may produce a different result. The annual database supports exploration; the official Harmonized Tariff Schedule governs.

The reducer verifies the exact 4,656,847-byte USITC archive, its SHA-256, the 13,100-row schema, and all 2,162 unique chapter 1–24 codes. Rate-form groups follow the USITC code key: 0 is free, 7 is percentage of value, 1–2 are per-unit, and the remaining codes are combined or refer to another calculation.
