Kei trucks are technically classified as cargo vehicles under US tariff rules, which carries a 25% duty. In practice, many importers report clearing customs at the 2.5% passenger-vehicle rate, but classification is inconsistently enforced and the 25-year import rule does not exempt anyone from duty either way. Budget for the 25% scenario and treat 2.5% as a possible best case, not an assumption. This calculator gives planning-level estimates only -- confirm actual duty classification and current rates with a licensed customs broker before you buy.
