Calculate your exact volume →When toys & games crosses a US border, where it was made now decides a surprising share of what it costs. The effective rate falls from 10% on Cambodia shipments to 0% on Myanmar shipments — close to $10,550 per $100,000 of imports each year. The duty line moves with paperwork, not production cost, which is why it rewards attention. Below, each tariff layer is laid out for both origins, with the saving scaled to several order sizes.
The gap is easiest to see by walking each origin's tariffs in turn. Cambodia-made goods carry a 10% forced-labor Section 301 duty on its toys & games, an effective 10% once the $49.74 in processing fees are added. A Myanmar origin attracts no tariff layers on its toys & games, an effective 0% once the $49.74 in processing fees are added. Two charges are origin-blind — the MPF and HMF, together $49.74 on this entry — which is why the entire difference lives in the duty layers. The per-shipment gap comes to $1,055.00 on $10,000 of goods — a clean read on the 10% rate difference. A $25,000 order therefore differs by about $2,638, and a $100,000 year by roughly $10,550. Scaled to a single $25,000 PO, the gap is near $2,638, repeated on every reorder.
Within HTS 9503, 9504, toys & games includes Action figures, Dolls, Board games, LEGO-style bricks, Puzzles, Stuffed animals, and Outdoor play equipment. For toys & games, where buyers reorder frequently, the duty rate compounds into one of the largest controllable costs on the P&L. Concretely, what counts as toys & games: children's toys, dolls, action figures, board games, puzzles, video game cartridges, construction toys, and outdoor play equipment. Based in Asia-Pacific, Cambodia is best known to US importers for clothing garments, footwear, and furniture. Cambodia trades without a special US agreement, so column-1 rates and every surcharge apply to its toys & games in full. A Asia-Pacific supplier, Myanmar concentrates its US exports in clothing garments, food, and lumber wood products. With no preferential deal in force, Myanmar toys & games faces the standard rates plus any applicable surcharge. With both origins in Asia-Pacific, freight lanes and transit times are broadly similar, so duty is the cleanest variable to compare. Myanmar is surfaced as a credible alternative, not just the cheapest line — it is among the origins a US buyer of toys & games could realistically qualify. US tariff policy in 2026 is unusually fluid, with effective rates on many categories changing several times a year — a reason to treat any origin comparison as a live calculation rather than a fixed sheet.
For $100,000 a year of toys & games, the move from Cambodia to Myanmar is worth about $10,550, scaling to $5,275 at $50,000, $26,375 at $250,000, and $105,500 at $1,000,000. These are engine-computed stacks, not estimates: identical inputs on both sides except country of origin, so the gap is purely a duty result. These figures reflect tariff and fee savings only, assuming equal product cost — your actual landed cost also depends on price and freight, which vary by supplier. Treat the annual saving as the ceiling on switching cost: as long as moving to Myanmar costs less than that, the change is accretive. Request parallel quotes from your Cambodia incumbent and a vetted Myanmar source, then compare landed cost with the duty gap held constant. The saving is current today; given the pace of 2026 revisions, verify it again at contract signing. Run your own volume — and a post-Section-122 view — through the interactive Tariff Savings Finder.
At $100,000 of annual import value, switching from Cambodia to Myanmar saves an estimated $10,550 in duties and fees, because the effective tariff rate falls from 10% to 0%. The saving scales linearly with volume. These figures reflect tariff and fee savings only, assuming equal product cost — your actual landed cost also depends on price and freight, which vary by supplier.
Myanmar-origin toys & games is assessed no tariff layers, for an effective 0% duty rate before the Merchandise Processing Fee ($36.55) and Harbor Maintenance Fee ($13.19).
Cambodia carries an effective 10% rate versus 0% for Myanmar. The gap comes from differences in the base, Section 232 and bilateral rates that apply to each origin.
