US Tariffs: Ask for a Rate, a Timeline, or a Comparison
The assistant reads every legal basis currently in force, a national-security tariff here, a retaliatory one there, an emergency measure somewhere else, and works out what a shipment actually pays, not the published statutory rate. Four questions cover most first sessions. The bracketed codes (HS 8703.23 and similar) are standard customs product codes; you can ask without them, as the second example shows.
A rate on a specific day.
What's the current US tariff rate on a German passenger car (HS 8703.23) imported today?Example responsedata as of 28 July 2026
The applied US tariff on a German passenger car (HS 8703.23) imported today is 15.00%.
| Component | Contribution |
|---|---|
| MFN base rate | 2.50% |
| Section 232 autos, capped by the US–EU tariff deal | 12.50% (27.50% without the deal) |
| Applied rate | 15.00% |
Every figure links back to the GTA records and official sources behind it.
A rate on a product you can't name the code for.
I don't know the HS code. What's the US tariff on office computing equipment from China?The assistant looks up the matching HS codes first, then calculates the rate for the one you mean.
Example responsedata as of 23 July 2026
Matched product code: HS 8471.30 — office computing equipment.
| Component | Contribution |
|---|---|
| Section 232 | 25.00% |
| Applied rate | 25.00% |
One input here is adjustable: how much of the product's value counts as “transport” under the Section 232 test. Push on it if you want to see the rate move.
How a rate has moved over time.
How has the US tariff on Canadian alloy steel flat products (HS 7226.91.05) changed since the start of 2025?The assistant traces every regime change on record and returns a table, one row per date the rate actually moved.
Example responsedata as of 28 July 2026
| Date | Applied rate | What happened |
|---|---|---|
| 20 Jan 2025 | 0.00% | start of the window |
| 12 Mar 2025 | 21.62% | |
| 4 Jun 2025 | 43.02% | |
| Aug 2025 | 43.17% | |
| 28 Jul 2026 | 49.60% | current rate |
Key points shown here; the live answer lists one row per regime change in between.
A comparison across countries.
Compare the US tariff on semiconductors (HS 8542.31) across China, Vietnam, Mexico, and Germany.The assistant runs the same calculation for each country and sorts the results cheapest first.
Example responsedata as of 23 July 2026
| Origin | Applied US rate (HS 8542.31) | Basis |
|---|---|---|
| Vietnam | 0.00% | duty-free |
| Mexico | 0.00% | duty-free |
| Germany | 0.00% | duty-free |
| China | 25.00% | Section 301 |
What a deal is worth.
What would the US tariff on a German passenger car be without the US-EU tariff deal?Example responsedata as of 28 July 2026
With the US–EU tariff deal the applied rate is capped at 15.00%; without it the rate would be 27.50%. The cap saves 12.5 percentage points on this product.
The counterfactual comes back in the same response whenever a deal is in force; no separate query is needed.
