Ethiopia Tariff Rates 2026: 10% on US Imports
As of 2026-07-24, US imports from Ethiopia 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).

Ethiopia Import Tariff Overview
Goods from Ethiopia face a 10% baseline tariff — the Section 301 forced-labor reciprocal tariff (standard tier) that replaced the expired 10% Section 122 surcharge on July 24, 2026. Ethiopia's pre-ruling IEEPA reciprocal rate was also 10%, so the headline base is unchanged across the February 20, 2026 Supreme Court decision.
The US and Ethiopia have no bilateral FTA, and Ethiopia's AGOA eligibility was suspended in recent years amid conflict-related human-rights concerns and remains under review, removing a preference many exporters previously relied on. Ethiopia is a major coffee origin and a leading African supplier of cut flowers and oilseeds.
Key Products Imported from Ethiopia
The US primarily imports coffee, cut flowers, oilseeds, leather and leather goods, and textiles from Ethiopia. Specialty coffee is the flagship export.
Recent Changes
The 10% Section 122 rate expired July 24, 2026 and was replaced by the Section 301 forced-labor tariff at the same 10% base. De minimis is eliminated for all shipments, and Ethiopia's AGOA benefits remain suspended or under review — a significant change for apparel and leather exporters who previously entered duty-free.
Tips for Importers
Do not assume AGOA duty-free treatment; with Ethiopia's eligibility suspended, most goods now face the full MFN duty plus the 10% base, so budget accordingly and verify current status. Green coffee typically carries a 0% MFN rate, making the 10% base the main layer, and importers staging leather or textile goods for re-export should evaluate duty drawback and FTZ options.
How Are US Tariffs on Ethiopia Imports Calculated?
US import duties on goods from Ethiopia 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.

Already importing from Ethiopia? 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.
