The MPF is a US Customs fee of 0.3464% of the declared value of imported goods, with a minimum of $31.67 and maximum of $614.35 per entry. It applies to most commercial imports regardless of the duty rate.
How do I find the duty rate for my product?
Look up your product's Harmonized Tariff Schedule (HTS) code at hts.usitc.gov. Each product has a specific duty rate. Rates vary from 0% to over 25% depending on the product and country of origin. A customs broker can help classify your goods.
