Furniture — US Import Duty from India

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

India exports substantial volumes of wooden and wrought-iron furniture to the US — dining sets, beds, chairs, cabinets, and decorative furniture. Duty rates are moderate, but California Air Resources Board (CARB) formaldehyde rules apply across the whole US market and are strictly enforced.

Typical US import duty rate (India origin)
0%–8.5%

Wooden bedroom furniture from India may be subject to anti-dumping duties (check the AD/CVD database). Metal furniture is typically 0%. Upholstered seating is 0%–6.2%.

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.
