Should importers model the old Canada IEEPA tariff?

For current planning as of June 3, 2026, the broad Canada IEEPA tariff layer should not be the default model. A February 20, 2026 order directed agencies to end IEEPA additional ad valorem duty collection, and the calculator instead models the temporary Section 122 surcharge where applicable.

Canadian Tariff Calculator for U.S. Importers

Build Your Import Scenario

USD estimate, not customs advice

Shipment Value

Use entered customs value, not retail price

Invoice or entered value Value of the goods before U.S. duty, freight, insurance, and brokerage.

Invoice currency If the supplier invoices in CAD, enter the CBP-supported exchange assumption.

CAD to USD rate Only used when invoice currency is CAD. Example: 1 CAD = 0.73 USD.

Units in shipment Used for per-unit duty and landed-cost estimates.

Transportation mode HMF is normally modeled only for vessel cargo unloaded at U.S. ports.

Regular HTS duty rate Look up the line in the U.S. HTS. USMCA preference sets this to zero in auto mode.

Origin and Tariff Layer

Country of origin is not always shipping country

Origin and preference profile Use the option your broker can support with documents at entry.

Special tariff category For steel, aluminum, autos, and other Section 232 products, use the content/value fields below.

Section 122 treatment Default models current collection for most importers while litigation continues.

Section 122 surcharge rate The temporary proclamation uses 10%; Section 122 allows up to 15% for limited periods.

Section 232 and Other Duty Inputs

Use broker-confirmed content values

Steel/aluminum content value Used for the 50% Section 232 metals estimate when selected.

Auto or other 232 dutiable value Use non-U.S. content for approved USMCA vehicles, or full covered value where required.

Other 232 rate For product-specific 232 actions not covered by the metals or auto preset.

Other trade remedy rate For AD/CVD, Section 301, safeguard, quota, or broker-confirmed additional duty.

Other fixed customs charges Use for line-specific taxes, IRS/excise, agriculture fees, or known fixed charges.

Target gross margin Used to estimate the resale price lift needed to protect margin.

Fees and Landed Cost

Separate government fees from logistics costs

MPF treatment Formal MPF is 0.3464% with FY2026 min and max limits.

HMF treatment HMF is 0.125% of commercial cargo value when applicable.

Brokerage and entry fees Your customs broker, courier, or entry filing charges.

International freight Shown in landed cost, not automatically included in customs value.

Insurance Shown in landed cost. Confirm customs valuation treatment separately.

Warehousing, drayage, delays Optional landed-cost costs after customs or during release delays.

This estimator is designed for planning, quote review, and margin modeling. Use official HTS classification, country-of-origin analysis, and a licensed customs broker before filing an entry.

How to Use This Calculator Before You Buy From Canada

1Confirm the HTS code. Enter the regular duty rate from the U.S. HTS, not a generic product category guess.
2Separate origin from shipping point. Goods shipped from Canada are not always products of Canada, and USMCA is not automatic.
3Model the active surcharge. Section 122 is contested but still a practical cash-flow assumption for many importers as of June 3, 2026.
4Check Section 232 first. Steel, aluminum, autos, auto parts, and other covered products can follow special stacking and content-value rules.
5Add MPF and HMF correctly. USMCA can remove MPF, while ocean vessel imports can still create HMF exposure.
6Convert the answer into operating action. Update purchase orders, customer quotes, inventory timing, job costing, overtime controls, and payroll budgets.

Best Use Cases

Quote review before placing a Canadian supplier purchase order.
Comparing USMCA-qualified and non-qualified sourcing outcomes.
Estimating landed cost per SKU, unit, job, branch, or project.
Testing Section 122 litigation, expiration, or refund scenarios.
Budgeting workforce cost when tariffs change delivery timing or margin.

USMCA Readiness Checks

Importer, exporter, or producer certification of origin.
Certifier, exporter, producer, and importer details.
Description and six-digit HS classification for the goods.
Origin criterion and blanket period, if used.
Authorized signature, date, and records that support the claim.

What This Does Not Replace

A customs broker classification review.
Binding CBP ruling or legal opinion.
Line-specific AD/CVD, quota, PGA, food, alcohol, FDA, EPA, or excise analysis.
Final broker statements, CBP liquidation, or refund eligibility review.
Canadian retaliatory-duty analysis for U.S. exports into Canada.

Tariff Shock Usually Becomes Labor Shock

When imported input costs move, teams often react with rush orders, overtime, schedule changes, branch transfers, customer repricing, and tighter job-cost controls. TimeTrex helps businesses connect workforce hours, payroll, scheduling, and job costing to those real operating decisions.

Keep the margin plan honest

Use the per-unit landed cost result to update job budgets, overtime thresholds, project codes, scheduling assumptions, and payroll forecasts before the new cost structure shows up in monthly reporting.

Frequently Asked Questions

Are Canadian goods tariff-free under USMCA?

Not automatically. The goods must meet USMCA rules of origin and the importer must be able to support the claim. When properly claimed, USMCA generally removes regular duty, MPF, and the Section 122 surcharge, but product-specific measures such as Section 232 can still matter.

Should I model the old 25% or 35% Canada IEEPA tariff?

For current planning as of June 3, 2026, no. The calculator treats the broad Canada IEEPA layer as ended and models the temporary Section 122 surcharge instead. Use the custom duty fields if your broker identifies a legacy, protest, refund, or entry-specific issue.

Why does the calculator include a Section 122 toggle?

Section 122 is legally contested. CBP guidance set a temporary 10% surcharge through July 24, 2026, but the Court of International Trade ruled against the measure on May 7, 2026. Because appellate activity and importer-specific relief can change practical filing treatment, the toggle lets importers model current collection and alternate scenarios.

Do steel and aluminum goods from Canada avoid tariffs if they qualify for USMCA?

USMCA can remove ordinary duty, MPF, and Section 122 exposure, but it does not automatically remove Section 232 steel or aluminum duties. For affected products, use broker-confirmed steel or aluminum content value and the 50% metals preset.

Does shipping by truck from Canada create HMF?

Usually no. HMF is a port use fee for commercial cargo loaded or unloaded from a commercial vessel at covered U.S. ports. The calculator applies it automatically only when ocean vessel transport is selected, unless you force it on.

Why does the calculator include workforce cost links on a tariff page?

Tariffs often trigger operational changes: rushed receiving, overtime, schedule changes, supplier switching, temporary labor, branch transfers, and project repricing. TimeTrex job costing, time tracking, scheduling, and payroll help businesses manage those second-order costs.
