HTS 7608 — Aluminum tubes and pipes Tariff Rate (2026)

HTS heading 7608 covers aluminum tubes and pipes, entering the United States at a 5% MFN duty rate. Aluminum tubes and pipes. Used in HVAC, automotive, and industrial applications. Beyond the base MFN duty, goods under this heading from most non-EU origins add the Section 301 forced-labor tariff (10% standard, 12.5% for the ~28-economy forced-labor tier such as China, Vietnam, and Thailand), which took over from the expired Section 122 rate on July 24, 2026. EU-origin goods are capped at the 15% all-inclusive EU-US deal ceiling instead. Because this is a Section 232 metals heading, articles wholly of the metal pay 50% on full customs value (derivatives 25%), and the base forced-labor surcharge does NOT stack on the metal content — so a wholly-metal article's rate is the Section 232 figure alone, not that figure plus 10%. Chinese-origin goods add a Section 301 China tariff of 25% on top. Worked example: a $10,000 shipment under HTS 7608 subject to the 50% Section 232 metals tariff owes about $5,000 in Section 232 duty on the metal content, with the base forced-labor surcharge excluded on that content.
