Tariff & Landed Cost Advisory

This is a living page, reviewed and updated as US trade policy changes — treat any rate below as current only as of the stated review date, and confirm before finalising a costing decision.

What’s Actually Changed Recently

US trade policy toward Pakistani apparel exports has shifted meaningfully through 2026 — a reciprocal tariff rate was set under a bilateral trade agreement, and a separate Section 301-related tariff tied to forced-labor enforcement review has applied on top of it for some categories. Pakistan has also, at points, sat outside tariff-rate-quota relief extended to some competing sourcing countries for specific product categories. Because these figures move, we do not publish a single static rate on this page that could go stale — request a landed-cost estimate for your specific product and we’ll calculate it against current rates for your HS code.

How Landed Cost Is Actually Calculated

A tariff rate alone doesn’t tell you what an order actually costs delivered. Landed cost combines:

FOB unit price (fabric, trims, making, finishing)

Freight (sea or air — see Logistics & Shipping)

The applicable tariff rate for your product’s HS code

Customs brokerage and any compliance-related costs (see Compliance & Documentation)

Two products with an identical factory price can land at meaningfully different total costs once classification and current tariff rates are applied correctly.

Who This Matters Most For

Retail buyers and brands comparing Pakistan against other sourcing countries — see US Retail Chains — are the group most affected by tariff-driven cost swings, since sourcing decisions at that scale are usually made on landed cost, not FOB price alone.
