Electronic Components — US Import Duty from India

India → USA corridor · MFN tariff rates · Updated for 2026 HTS

India's electronics manufacturing sector is growing rapidly, and a range of components — printed circuit boards, connectors, cables, LED components, and passive components — are exported to the US. Most electronic components are duty-free under the WTO Information Technology Agreement (ITA), but FCC authorization is required for any device that emits radio frequency energy.

Calculating your full landed cost

The duty rate is only one part of your total cost to land goods in a US warehouse. A complete landed cost also includes:

• Freight — ocean or air freight from India to the US port of entry
• Insurance — typically 0.5%–1% of cargo value
• Customs broker fee — USD 75–250 per entry for a standard shipment
• ISF filing — Importer Security Filing, USD 25–35 per ocean shipment
• Destination charges — THC, delivery order fee, drayage

The duty rate shown above applies to the customs value (CIF value — cost + insurance + freight to the US port). Misunderstanding the duty base is one of the most common import cost errors.
