08The Effective Rate Over Time

Calculated duties as a share of all imports, month by month. In August 2026 it was 6.87%.

Census Bureau, all countries. Monthly calculated duty divided by monthly imports for consumption.

09The Refunds

On February 20, 2026, the Supreme Court ruled 6-3 in Learning Resources, Inc. v. Trump that the International Emergency Economic Powers Act does not authorize the president to impose tariffs. That made the IEEPA tariffs collected since early 2025, about $166 billion, subject to refund. Customs began paying refunds through its CAPE process; about $122 billion, including interest, had been issued as of September 11, 2026, according to a CBP declaration to the Court of International Trade. Refunds in the Treasury data over the past 12 months total $145B.

The full history of US tariff rates, from 1789 to the current Section 301, 232 and 338 tariffs, is on the US tariff history page.

10How This Is Counted

  • Monthly and yearly figures are customs duties from the Monthly Treasury Statement (table 4): gross receipts, refunds and net receipts. The latest month is September 2026; the Treasury publishes each month about two weeks after it ends.
  • Daily figures are customs deposits from the Daily Treasury Statement, which the Treasury reports together with certain excise taxes and before refunds.
  • Country and product figures are calculated duties and imports for consumption from the Census Bureau, through August 2026. Census publishes trade data about five weeks after each month ends, and its calculated duties will not match Treasury collections exactly.
  • This page updates itself twice a day as new data is released.
