Import Duty on Window Blinds
US general (MFN) import duty rates for Window Blinds range from 6.4%–11.3% across 7 HTS lines (e.g. HTS 6303.12.00 at 11.3%), per USITC HTS release 2026HTSRev22. This is a planning estimate: Section 301, Section 232, AD/CVD, quotas and MPF/HMF are excluded and must be added separately.
Blinds are textiles only when the blind is a textile. Slats, rails and vanes usually are not.

What changes by country of origin
The MFN rate is the same regardless of where the goods are made. Everything below it is not.
| Origin | Base rate | US preference | What else attaches |
|---|---|---|---|
| China | MFN rate above | No US preference on these codes | Section 301 lists 1-4A apply to most consumer goods on top of MFN; the 2026 forced-labor 301 action adds a further layer. |
| Vietnam | MFN rate above | No US preference on these codes | No Section 301 list duty. The 2026 forced-labor 301 action applies. No US FTA, so MFN is the base. |
| India | MFN rate above | No US preference on these codes | No Section 301 list duty and no US FTA. Forced-labor 301 applies. GSP expired, so MFN is the base. |
| Thailand | MFN rate above | No US preference on these codes | No Section 301 list duty and no US FTA. Forced-labor 301 applies. |
| Indonesia | MFN rate above | No US preference on these codes | No Section 301 list duty and no US FTA. Forced-labor 301 applies. |
| Mexico | MFN rate above | No USMCA line on these codes | USMCA: duty-free when the goods meet the rules of origin and the preference is claimed. MFN applies otherwise. |
Free-trade programs named on the lines in this group: Australia (AUSFTA) (7 lines), Bahrain (BHFTA) (7 lines), Chile (CLFTA) (7 lines), Colombia (CTPA) (7 lines), Israel (ILFTA) (7 lines), Jordan (JOFTA) (7 lines). A preference only applies when the goods meet that program's rules of origin and the claim is made on entry. This page does not estimate Section 301 list rates or anti-dumping duty; enter the applicable Section 301 rate in the calculator yourself and verify current list coverage and exclusions at the USTR exclusion notices.
What decides the rate
6303 covers curtains, drapes and interior blinds of textile. A Venetian blind with aluminum or PVC slats is not a textile blind even when it is sold alongside textile shades. The classification follows the slat material, and a blind range that mixes textile, aluminum and wood is three lines.
Where this goes wrong
A roller shade with a fabric face is textile; the roller tube inside it is a part. Whether the tube stays in the same line depends on whether it is entered as a set.

Questions this page answers
Are blinds textiles for duty purposes?
Only when the blind is textile. 6303 covers curtains, drapes and interior blinds of textile. A Venetian blind with aluminum or PVC slats follows the slat material, not the textile chapter.
What about a roller shade with a fabric face?
The fabric face makes it a textile blind, but the roller tube inside is a part. Whether the tube stays in the same line depends on how the article is entered as a set.
Does this estimate include anti-dumping duty?
No. Anti-dumping and countervailing duty are case-specific and can exceed every other layer combined, so they are outside the estimate by design. The calculator covers base duty, the Section 301 and 232 layers you enter, the merchandise processing fee and the harbor maintenance fee.
