The US Trade Ledger — every US container gateway, every partner country, every month — and what each one actually paid at the border.

What goods from Taiwan actually pay

All products, from official duty receipts. On average, Taiwan’s goods paid 1.5% of their value at the US border in 2017-06 → peak 4.9% in 2025-09 → 2.8% in 2026-06, on $544M of duty in the latest month.

What Taiwan's goods actually paid on average — duty collected as % of everything shipped, monthly. Peak 4.9% (2025-09).

Duty dollars collected, monthly. Counted at customs entry; refunds ordered afterwards are not subtracted. Leaves out anti-dumping duties and fees.

Each row links to that chapter’s own page — its rate history, every origin that pays it, and the measures in force.

The stickers, and Taiwan

No trade-war measure names Taiwan in its scope. What its goods pay comes from the ordinary schedule plus the sectoral measures — steel, aluminium, cars — which apply by product, from every origin. See the chapter pages above for those.
