Honduras Tariff Rates 2026: 10% on US Imports

Honduras is a CAFTA-DR partner, so the vast majority of qualifying Honduran goods enter the US duty-free. Non-originating goods fall under the 10% base reciprocal layer — now the Section 301 forced-labor tariff that replaced the expired Section 122 reciprocal tariff on July 24, 2026 — plus applicable MFN duties.

The US-Central America-Dominican Republic Free Trade Agreement (CAFTA-DR), in force for Honduras since 2006, is the backbone of the trade relationship and eliminates duties on the overwhelming majority of Honduran exports. Honduras is one of the largest apparel suppliers to the US in the Western Hemisphere and a core nearshoring hub for textiles and automotive wiring. The agreement is stable with no renegotiation announced.

Key Products Imported from Honduras

Knit and woven apparel and T-shirts dominate Honduran exports to the US, followed by automotive wire harnesses and electrical assemblies, coffee, cigars and tobacco, bananas, palm oil, farmed shrimp, and gold.

Recent Changes

Feb 20, 2026: SCOTUS struck down the IEEPA reciprocal tariffs (a $166B refund pool is being paid out). Honduras's rate was unchanged through that ruling. On July 24, 2026 the 150-day Section 122 reciprocal tariff reached its limit and was replaced by the Section 301 forced-labor tariff at the 10% standard tier for non-CAFTA-DR goods. The $800 de minimis exemption has been eliminated for all countries, and Section 232 metals tariffs remain at 50% on steel/aluminum articles (25% on derivatives) regardless of origin.

Tips for Importers

Claim CAFTA-DR preferential treatment to bring qualifying apparel and other originating goods in at 0% — verify the yarn-forward rules of origin and keep certification records, since apparel is the category most likely to be challenged. If you paid the IEEPA reciprocal surcharge on Honduran entries before Feb 20, 2026, review those entries for refund eligibility from the SCOTUS pool.
