Guyana Tariff Rates 2026: 10% on US Imports
As of 2026-07-24, US imports from Guyana 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 rate fell from 38% after the Supreme Court struck down the IEEPA tariffs in February 2026, so importers who paid the higher rate between April 2025 and February 2026 may qualify for refunds. 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).

Guyana Import Tariff Overview
Imports from Guyana now carry a 10% base US tariff — the Section 301 forced-labor tariff (standard tier) — a sharp drop from the 38% IEEPA reciprocal rate Guyana faced before the Supreme Court struck IEEPA tariffs down on February 20, 2026.
Guyana is one of the world's fastest-growing oil producers following the ExxonMobil-led offshore Stabroek development, and the US is a major investor and trading partner. It has no bilateral US FTA and is a CARICOM member. The bilateral relationship has expanded rapidly with the oil boom, alongside traditional exports.
Key Products Imported from Guyana
Top US imports include crude oil from offshore Stabroek production, gold, bauxite (aluminum ore), rice, sugar, timber, and shrimp.
Recent Changes
Guyana's 38% IEEPA reciprocal tariff was struck down by SCOTUS on February 20, 2026 and its base fell to 10%; the Section 122 bridge then expired July 24, 2026 and was replaced by the 10% Section 301 forced-labor tariff. The $800 de minimis exemption is eliminated, and Section 232 metals tariffs are unchanged.
Tips for Importers
Because Guyana carried the elevated 38% IEEPA reciprocal rate before February 20, 2026, importers who paid those duties in 2025 have significant CAPE refund exposure — verify and file eligible claims. Crude oil enters at minimal MFN duty, so the 10% base is the main remaining layer.
How Are US Tariffs on Guyana Imports Calculated?
US import duties on goods from Guyana 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.
To calculate the total duty on a specific import from Guyana, use our US import duty calculator or landed cost calculator for a complete estimate including Merchandise Processing Fee (MPF) and Harbor Maintenance Fee (HMF). You can also compare Guyana rates with other countries to evaluate sourcing alternatives.
Already importing from Guyana? 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.
