How are tariffs applied on COO China parts?

Tariffs are applied to products labeled with China as the Country of Origin (COO) when brought into the United States. No matter where the parts are shipped from, the COO specified on the product determines whether a tariff will be imposed. For instance, a product marked with COO China and shipped from Europe to the USA will still be subject to a tariff. However, parts shipped from China to the USA with COO Malaysia will not face any tariff charges.

Typically, the U.S. Customs and Border Protection imposes the tariff on the carrier, such as FedEx or UPS, who will then transfer the fees to the recipient. When buying products from Fusion Worldwide, any items with COO China being imported into the USA will already have the tariff included into the offer price of the product. This ensures that upon the parts' arrival, there will be no additional charges from the carrier to be settled.
