How Much Are China Tariffs
Costing You This Year?

Section 301 tariffs were imposed under the Trade Act of 1974 on Chinese-origin goods in response to unfair trade practices. Depending on the HTS chapter (List 1–4), rates range from 7.5% to 25% on top of normal MFN duty rates. A company importing $2M/year of Chinese parts classified under List 3 (25% tariff) pays an additional $500K/year in Section 301 duties alone.

No. Section 301 is China-specific under the Trade Act of 1974. Vietnam-origin goods carry $0 in Section 301 tariffs. This is the single biggest cost lever for US companies currently buying from China — your HTS tariff rate drops from 7.5–25% to 0% by sourcing from a qualified Vietnam supplier instead.

The assessment uses published Section 301 tariff rates from USTR and publicly documented Vietnam manufacturing cost differentials. The results are directional estimates — your actual savings will depend on your specific HTS codes, supplier pricing, and logistics setup.

Because Dewin's factories are pre-audited, we can typically go from RFQ to first article samples in 8–14 weeks for most processes. For simple stamping or machined parts, we can run faster. Full production migration (including tooling, PPAP, and qualification) typically takes 4–10 months depending on complexity.
