HTS 2309 — Preparations for animal feeding Tariff Rate (2026)

Under HTS 2309, preparations for animal feeding enter the United States with duty-free as the base MFN rate. Preparations of a kind used in animal feeding including pet food and livestock supplements. On top of the MFN rate, most non-EU imports under this heading carry the Section 301 forced-labor tariff — a two-tier 10%/12.5% duty that replaced the flat 10% Section 122 rate on July 24, 2026. EU-origin goods instead fall under the EU-US trade deal's 15% all-inclusive ceiling (effective July 1, 2026), where nothing stacks and goods with an MFN rate of 15% or more pay MFN only. Worked example: a $10,000 shipment under HTS 2309 owes about $0 in MFN duty (0%); adding the 10% base forced-labor surcharge brings it to roughly $1,000 from a standard-tier origin, or about $1,250 from a 12.5%-tier origin such as China.
