Estimate My Refund →Iraq Import Tariff Overview
Iraq faces a 10% Section 122 tariff on US imports. Iraqi exports to the US are dominated by crude oil, which enters at 0% MFN duty. The primary impact on US importers is the disruption of Iraqi oil production due to the Strait of Hormuz closure since March 2026.
US imports from Iraq total approximately $12 billion annually, almost entirely crude oil and petroleum products. Iraq is a major OPEC producer, and the Hormuz disruption has forced Iraq to shut in significant production capacity — contributing to the Gulf-wide production shut-in estimated at 7.5-9.1 million barrels/day.
Key Products Imported from Iraq
Crude oil and petroleum products account for virtually all Iraqi exports to the US. These enter at 0% MFN duty, so tariffs are not the primary issue — the disruption to supply and resulting price increases are what affect US importers.
Recent Changes
The Strait of Hormuz closure from early March through April 17, 2026 severely disrupted Iraqi oil exports. Combined Gulf production shut-ins estimated at 9.1M bbl/day in April 2026. Brent crude peaked at $118/bbl; now approximately $83/bbl after Iran reopened the strait on April 17.
Tips for Importers
Iraqi oil supply disruption drives up energy costs for all US importers. Monitor oil price trends as they directly affect shipping surcharges and petroleum-derived product costs. Consider forward contracts on critical inputs to hedge against further price increases.
How US Tariffs on Iraq Work
US import duties on goods from Iraq are determined by multiple overlapping tariff authorities. The base layer is the Section 122 tariff at 10%, which applies to all countries and is set to expire around July 24, 2026. Section 232 tariffs of 50% on steel and 50% on aluminum apply to metals imports, regardless of the Section 122 rate.
