Hungary Tariff Rates 2026: 15% on US Imports
As of 2026-07-24, US imports from Hungary carry an effective tariff of about 15%. This is the 15% all-inclusive ceiling under the EU-US trade deal, effective July 1, 2026 — it replaced the 10% Section 122 rate and does not stack: goods with an MFN rate of 15% or more pay MFN only, with Section 232 metals tariffs of 50% on steel and 50% on aluminum charged separately (metals sit outside the 15% ceiling). Autos from Hungary are now 15% (down from 27.5%), and pharmaceuticals and semiconductors are capped at 15%. The rate fell from 20% 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 earlier 10% Section 122 tariff (in effect Feb 24 – June 30, 2026 for EU goods) no longer applies to EU-origin goods — it was superseded by the EU-US deal on July 1, 2026, and nationwide it expired at its 150-day limit on July 24, 2026.

Hungary Import Tariff Overview
Hungary, an EU member, is covered by the US-EU trade deal's 15% all-inclusive tariff ceiling effective July 1, 2026, with automobiles capped at 15% (down from 27.5%). Steel and aluminum articles remain at 50% under Section 232.
Hungary's US trade is governed by the EU common commercial policy rather than a bilateral FTA. It is a significant automotive and electronics assembly base within the EU single market, hosting major German, Japanese, and Korean manufacturing investment, which shapes what it ships to the US.
Key Products Imported from Hungary
The US imports vehicles and auto parts, electronics and electrical equipment, pharmaceuticals, industrial machinery, and wine (including Tokaji) from Hungary. Automotive and electronics components make up the bulk of exports.
Recent Changes
The US-EU 15% all-inclusive ceiling took effect July 1, 2026, replacing the 10% Section 122 rate before the July 24 national transition to the Section 301 forced-labor tariff, and reduced the auto rate from 27.5% to 15%. Pharmaceuticals are capped at 15% under the deal, and the $800 de minimis exemption has been eliminated.
Tips for Importers
Claim EU origin to secure the 15% all-inclusive ceiling on vehicles and pharmaceuticals instead of older stacked rates. Because the ceiling is all-inclusive, do not add MFN duty on top, and 2025 IEEPA reciprocal-duty payers should check eligibility for a refund from the $166B SCOTUS pool.
How Are US Tariffs on Hungary Imports Calculated?
US import duties on goods from Hungary are determined by multiple overlapping tariff authorities. The base layer is the EU-US trade deal’s 15% all-inclusive ceiling, effective July 1, 2026, which replaced the 10% Section 122 rate for EU members. It does not stack: goods with an MFN rate of 15% or higher pay MFN only, while lower-MFN goods pay 15% total. Autos are 15% (down from 27.5%), and pharmaceuticals and semiconductors are capped at 15%. Section 232 tariffs of 50% on steel and 50% on aluminum apply to metals imports, outside the EU deal's 15% ceiling.

Already importing from Hungary? 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.
