Section 301 tariff check for wall charger from China

Planning Use only. Broker review required for Entry Use.

A wall charger from China can be a single-port USB charger, multi-port GaN charger, travel charger, foldable-plug charger, charger with built-in cable, or charger-and-cable retail kit. Section 301 exposure depends on the supported HTS candidate and China origin record.

Use this page to prepare a Planning Use file before the shipment is priced.

quick answer

For "section 301 tariff wall charger from China", collect plug type, input range, output wattage, port count, USB-C or USB-A ports, charging protocols, cable contents, origin support, supplier code, and value. Then check the sourced HTS candidate against current USTR Section 301 material.

Do not use a generic electronics code without the rating label and set contents.

facts to collect for a wall charger

Collect:

Invoice wording, SKU, model number, product page, and packaging photos.
Plug type: fixed US plug, foldable plug, interchangeable heads, EU plug, UK plug, or travel plug set.
Input range, output voltage, output current, total wattage, per-port wattage, and protocol claims.
USB-C ports, USB-A ports, built-in cable, wireless charging face, LED display, or GaN claim.
Included cable, adapter tips, travel heads, manual, safety label, and retail box.
Whether a battery, power bank, or separate adapter is included.
Country of origin evidence for PCB assembly, housing, plug, transformer, cable, and final testing.
Supplier HS or HTS code and notes.
Unit value, assists, freight, insurance, and shipment timing.

Keep the product label photo with the record. That label often answers half the review. Keep the box insert when it lists cable or travel-head contents.

missing facts

Mark the file incomplete when:

Plug type is unclear.
Wattage or per-port output is missing.
Cable, adapter head, or travel kit contents are not listed.
Battery or power-bank status is unsupported.
Origin is assumed from exporter paperwork.
Supplier code is only six digits or from another market.
Current USTR Section 301 treatment has not been checked for the candidate line.
Exclusion claims have no source date.

These gaps can move the file between charger, power supply, travel adapter, cable kit, or battery-product paths.

HTS candidate notes

Build candidate rows around the imported charger: single-port wall charger, multi-port wall charger, GaN charger, travel charger, built-in cable charger, or charger-and-cable kit. Each row should cite plug, rating, ports, set contents, origin, and supplier code.

Rejected paths should stay visible. If travel heads are included, list them. If no battery is included, say that.

authority sources

Use USITC HTS for tariff text. Use CBP CROSS for wall chargers, power supplies, travel adapters, cables, and kits. Use USTR for the current Section 301 check.

planning path

Start with a table for plug, input, output, ports, set contents, origin, supplier code, and value. Then compare the candidate line with current Section 301 material.

The result should support broker review, not replace it.

questions importers ask

Does a foldable plug matter?

List it. Plug and travel-head facts can affect the review.

Does GaN matter?

Record the claim and rating support, but do not rely on the marketing word alone.
