How much is the import duty on printed circuit assemblies from Thailand?
A shipment of printed circuit assemblies classified under HTS 8473.30.11 and made in Thailand currently pays no U.S. import duty at all. The Column 1 general rate for this subheading is Free, and on the entry date priced here Thailand is not caught by any Chapter 99 additional-duty program. That combination is rarer than it was two years ago, and worth knowing if you are comparing sourcing options.
The duty stack, line by line
There is only one duty line on this entry. HTS 8473.30.11.80 carries a Column 1 general rate of Free, and the engine finds no Chapter 99 additional duty for Thailand on this code as of 2026-10-06. That can change with a single Federal Register notice, which is why the rate on this page is stamped with the measures version it came from rather than presented as permanent.
Worked example: a $10,000 shipment
Take one ocean shipment of printed circuit assemblies with an entered value of $10,000 — the customs value of the goods, before freight and insurance. The rate is Free, so the duty is $0.00. On top of the duty, the entry attracts a merchandise processing fee of $34.64 and, because it arrives by vessel, a harbor maintenance fee of $12.50. Duty and fees together come to $47.14, and the engine puts the landed cost of the goods at $10,047.14.
Scaling the value does not change that — the rate is ad valorem, so a $100,000 entry is still duty-free — but MPF and HMF do scale, and MPF is capped per entry. Run your own value, entry date and HTS code through the import duty calculator for the same calculation against the same engine.
What changed, and when
The rate here has been stable across the period we can price: an entry dated 15 October 2025 pays the same 0% that applies today. Stability is not a promise — Chapter 99 lists are amended by notice, sometimes with days of warning — but this subheading has not been a moving target from Thailand.
An entry dated 15 May 2026 prices at 0%, the same total as today. The Section 122 balance-of-payments surcharge in force over that window (24 February to 23 July 2026, since expired) did not attach to this code.
MPF, HMF and what else lands on the entry
Duty is not the whole bill to Customs. The merchandise processing fee is ad valorem with a statutory floor and ceiling per entry — $34.64 on this $10,000 example. The harbor maintenance fee is charged on vessel arrivals only, $12.50 here; the same shipment flown in would pay no HMF.
Not in any of these figures: antidumping and countervailing duties, excise taxes, quota charges, bond costs, and the freight and brokerage that make up the rest of your landed cost. AD/CVD is worth checking before you commit to a supplier — it is assessed on the producer and exporter, not just on the HTS code, and it can dwarf the tariff.
U.S. imports of 8473.30.11 from Thailand
Between March and July 2026 the U.S. imported $61.3 billion under HTS 8473.30.11 from the 55 origins in this dataset; $910 million of it — 1.5% — came from Thailand, making Thailand a smaller supplier on this subheading. The largest were Taiwan (28.5%), Vietnam (27.1%), South Korea (20.4%), Malaysia (15.3%) and the Philippines (4.7%).
Census also reports duty actually collected: entries of HTS 8473.30.11.80 from Thailand paid an average effective duty of 24.70% of value over those months. That is above the 0% priced here, which usually points to other 10-digit lines in the subheading, or to measures that attach to the goods rather than the code — antidumping and countervailing orders being the usual cause. Treat it as a sanity check on your own numbers, not a forecast of your entry.

Planning around this number
Classification drives this: the page prices HTS 8473.30.11.80, the largest 10-digit line under 8473.30.11 for Thailand by import value, and a neighboring line in the same subheading can carry different Chapter 99 exposure. Entry date matters as much as origin — the gap between the dates above is a change in law, not in your goods.
Airlift USA does not hold a U.S. customs broker license — customs entries are handled through our licensed broker network, and the broker of record makes the classification and origin calls. These figures are estimates for planning, produced by the same engine behind our import duty calculator; U.S. Customs and Border Protection determines the final duty on your entry.

Common questions about duty on HTS 8473.30.11 from Thailand
What is the total import duty on printed circuit assemblies (HTS 8473.30.11) from Thailand?
None. The Column 1 general rate is Free and the engine finds no Chapter 99 additional duty for Thailand on this code, so a $10,000 entry pays $0.00 in duty — though MPF and HMF still apply. It is an estimate for planning; CBP determines the final duty.
Do I pay MPF and HMF on top of this duty?
Yes. On the $10,000 example the merchandise processing fee is $34.64 and, for a vessel arrival, the harbor maintenance fee is $12.50. Neither is included in the 0% duty rate. Antidumping and countervailing duties, excise taxes and quota charges are also outside these figures and are checked separately at entry.
How much does the U.S. import under HTS 8473.30.11 from Thailand?
$910 million between March and July 2026, which is 1.5% of the $61.3 billion the U.S. imported under this subheading from the 55 origins in this dataset over the same months. Source: U.S. Census Bureau, imports for consumption, March–July 2026.
What these figures assume
The tariff engine flags the limits of its own answer. These applied to this calculation:
- Section 232 derivative lists (U.S. note 16 annexes I-A/I-B/III) were checked only against codes seen in Airlift entries; an unlisted derivative may still be covered
- Section 301 forced-labor duty not applied: the line is listed in U.S. note 52(b) (heading 9903.05.86)
- Antidumping/countervailing duties, excise taxes and quota provisions are not included
- Section 232 derivative articles outside HTS chapters 72–76 (U.S. note 16 lists) are not evaluated
- MPF and HMF use FY2027 rates; HMF applies to vessel arrivals only
