Belarus Tariff Rates 2026: 10% on US Imports
As of 2026-07-24, US imports from Belarus carry an effective tariff of about 10%. This combines the 10% Section 301 forced-labor baseline (which replaced Section 122 on July 24, 2026) applied to countries without a separate deal, with Section 232 metals tariffs of 50% on steel and 50% on aluminum charged separately. The 10% Section 122 tariff (effective Feb 24, 2026) expired at its 150-day limit on July 24, 2026 and was replaced the same day by the Section 301 forced-labor tariff (10%, or 12.5% for higher-tier economies).

Belarus Import Tariff Overview
The tariff engine shows a 10% base layer for Belarus, but that figure is largely theoretical: Belarus lost Permanent Normal Trade Relations (PNTR) in 2022 and its goods are assessed at the far higher Column 2 (non-NTR) HTS rates, on top of comprehensive US sanctions that block or license most imports. Treat any headline reciprocal rate as a floor, not the effective duty.
The US suspended normal trade relations with Belarus alongside Russia following the 2022 invasion of Ukraine, moving Belarusian goods to Column 2 duty rates that are dramatically higher than standard MFN. Layered on top are OFAC sanctions targeting Belarusian state enterprises, the potash and petroleum sectors, and named individuals. There is no US-Belarus free trade agreement, and bilateral goods trade has collapsed to a small fraction of pre-2022 levels.
Key Products Imported from Belarus
Historically the US imported potassium fertilizers (potash), refined petroleum products, nitrogen fertilizers, wood and wood products, and some machinery and metal goods from Belarus. Belaruskali is one of the world's largest potash producers, but its exports to the US are now sanctioned and effectively curtailed.
Recent Changes
As of July 24, 2026 the expired Section 122 reciprocal tariff was replaced by the Section 301 forced-labor base layer (10% standard) for ordinary trading partners, but Belarus's Column 2 status and sanctions override that framework for most goods. The Feb 20, 2026 SCOTUS ruling that struck down IEEPA reciprocal tariffs and created the $166B refund pool does not lift Belarus sanctions, which are administered separately by OFAC and BIS. De minimis ($800) is eliminated for all countries, including Belarus.
Tips for Importers
Before attempting any Belarus import, screen the transaction against the OFAC SDN list and Belarus sectoral sanctions and confirm no BIS export-control or general-license issue applies — a nominal 10% rate is meaningless if the goods or counterparty are blocked. Assume Column 2 HTS duty rates rather than the reciprocal base layer, and obtain a customs ruling or licensed-broker opinion in writing.
How Are US Tariffs on Belarus Imports Calculated?
US import duties on goods from Belarus are determined by multiple overlapping tariff authorities. The base layer is the 10% Section 301 forced-labor tariff, which replaced the expired 10% Section 122 tariff on July 24, 2026 and applies to most countries without a separate trade deal. Section 232 tariffs of 50% on steel and 50% on aluminum apply to metals imports, regardless of the forced-labor tariff.

You can also compare Belarus rates with other countries to evaluate sourcing alternatives.
Already importing from Belarus? If you paid the higher pre-SCOTUS IEEPA rate in 2025, you may be able to claim an IEEPA tariff refund. And if you re-export or manufacture with imported goods, duty drawback can recover up to 99% of the duties you paid — both are separate from the rates above.
