How the duty works for China goods

Item (HTS line)	General rate	Total with 9903.05.31	Duty on a $40 item
Candle (3406.00.00.00)	Free	12.5%	$5.00
Ceramic mug (not porcelain) (6912.00.44.00)	10%	22.5%	$9.00
Knitted wool scarf (6117.10.10.00)	9.6%	22.1%	$8.84

General rates read from the bundled HTS Revision 22 (2026), synced 2026-11-03. Your exact line may differ: find it in the HTS lookup. Duty is charged on the customs value, normally the item price; the calculator also adds Etsy and carrier fees.

Older China duties may stack on top. Goods of China can also be covered by the earlier Section 301 lists (headings 9903.88.xx), which DDPCalc does not add automatically. Look at the Chapter 99 references on your HTS line in the lookup, and add any extra percentage under “Other add-ons” (HTS 9903.88).

Etsy fees for a China bank account

Transaction fee	6.5% of item price + shipping (Etsy)
Payment processing	6.5% + $0.30 per order (Etsy)
Regulatory operating fee	None listed (Etsy)
Listing currency	USD

These percentages are charged on the tariff-inclusive price, so part of the fee is a fee on the duty (fees on fees).

FAQ

What is the US duty on goods from China?

As of HTS Revision 22 (2026), heading 9903.05.31 sets the rate for most goods of China: the normal HTS General rate plus 12.5%, with listed product exceptions.

Does the calculator include the older China Section 301 lists?

No. It adds the 12.5% note 52 rate (9903.05.31) only. If your line is on a 9903.88 list, add that percentage under “Other add-ons” or type your total rate in “Override”.

What Etsy fees apply with a bank account in China?

The 6.5% transaction fee on item price plus shipping, payment processing of 6.5% + $0.30 per order (Etsy fee pages, checked 2026-11-03). The calculator charges them on the tariff-inclusive price.

Does Etsy require DDP for US orders from this country?

Etsy’s rule covers every seller shipping to US buyers from outside the US: since July 9, 2026 US orders need Delivered Duty Paid shipping to keep Etsy Purchase Protection, and tariffs charged to buyers can be deducted from the seller. Where no DDP service exists, the listing must say duties are not included and the buyer must get an estimate before shipping.
