Italy to US · October 23, 2026

Italy to the United States: about 10% on the headline stack (10% net of Column 1 for ordinary goods; 15% only in lieu of Section 232 for autos, qualifying semiconductor articles, and drones). Chapter 99 heading named in this profile: 9903.05.38–.39.

Effective Rate

10%20%

As of 2026-10-23, US imports from Italy carry an effective tariff of about 10%. Ordinary goods are a 10% net of Column 1 (note 52(k), headings 9903.05.38–.39, effective July 24, 2026, FR Doc. 2026-15181 and memorandum FR Doc. 2026-15274). Where Column 1 is already at least 10%, the additional duty is 0. 15% applies only in lieu of Section 232 for autos, qualifying semiconductor articles, and drones. MFN (General) basis - Special-claim/AVE not modelled. exemption lists in note 52/Annex II not modelled, with Section 232 metals tariffs of 50% on steel and 50% on aluminum charged separately (metals sit outside the ordinary-goods ceiling). Autos from Italy stay at 15% in lieu of Section 232. Ordinary 8541/8542 goods are not a heading-wide semiconductor tariff. Patented pharmaceuticals on the note 40(c) list take Section 232 once and are not also charged the 10% ceiling. 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10% Section 122 tariff (in effect Feb 24 – June 30, 2026 for EU goods) no longer applies to EU-origin goods — it was superseded by the EU-US deal on July 1, 2026, and nationwide it expired at its 150-day limit on July 24, 2026.

IEEPA refunds — illustrative, not a personal claim

Paid IEEPA duty on imports from Italy in 2025–early 2026?

The Supreme Court struck down IEEPA reciprocal (and fentanyl/trafficking) tariffs on February 20, 2026. The Importer of Record — or the licensed broker who filed the original entries — can seek that IEEPA layer back through CBP’s CAPE process. This is not a consumer check, and it is not a guaranteed amount.

Who can file: the original Importer of Record (or that entry’s filing broker), not the retail customer.
Window: IEEPA duties collected from early 2025 through February 24, 2026 (reciprocal rates generally from April 2025; China/Canada/Mexico fentanyl layers started earlier).
Not refundable: Section 232 (steel/aluminum/autos), China Section 301, MFN base duty, or the current Section 301 forced-labor tariff / EU 15% deal rate.

Illustrative example only: $50,000 of IEEPA-period imports from Italy at the published 20% IEEPA rate carried about $10,000 of IEEPA duty. That IEEPA layer — plus statutory interest (6–7% compounded daily under 19 CFR 24.36) — is what CAPE can refund. Your actual figure comes from your 7501s, not this example.

Italy Import Tariff Overview

Italy is covered by the EU-US trade deal effective July 1, 2026: most Italian goods now face a 10% net of Column 1 for ordinary goods (15% only in lieu of Section 232 for autos, qualifying semiconductor articles, and drones) US tariff ceiling with no stacking — and goods whose MFN rate is already 15% or higher (much of Italian fashion) pay MFN only, with no surcharge. This replaced the 10% Section 122 tariff that applied from Feb 24 to June 30, 2026. Ferrari and Lamborghini now enter at a flat 15% (in lieu of the 27.5% Section 232 auto regime), pharmaceuticals are capped at 15%, and steel and aluminum from the EU remain at 50% Section 232 on wholly-metal articles.

Italy is one of the top EU exporters to the US, with a strong trade presence in fashion, food and beverage, machinery, and pharmaceuticals. As an EU member, Italy trades under the bloc-wide EU-US deal terms and cannot negotiate independently. Italy's manufacturing excellence in sectors like precision machinery, automotive (Ferrari, Lamborghini, Maserati), and fashion (Gucci, Prada, Armani) drives premium exports. The Made in Italy brand commands significant price premiums in US consumer markets.

Key Products Imported from Italy

Top imports include pharmaceuticals, machinery, wine and olive oil, fashion and luxury goods, auto parts and vehicles (Ferrari, Lamborghini), cheese (Parmigiano-Reggiano, Pecorino), pasta, and marble and stone products. Italy is a global leader in fashion, food, and design-driven manufacturing.

Recent Changes

The timeline: Feb 20, 2026 — SCOTUS struck down IEEPA tariffs 6-3, dropping Italy from 20% to the 10% Section 122 rate (effective Feb 24). July 1, 2026 — the EU-US trade deal took effect, moving Italy off Section 122 and onto a 10% net of Column 1 for ordinary goods (15% only in lieu of Section 232 for autos, qualifying semiconductor articles, and drones) ceiling with no stacking; goods with MFN rates of 15%+ pay MFN only. Ferrari and Lamborghini vehicles now enter at a flat 15% (in lieu of the 27.5% Section 232 auto regime), pharmaceuticals and semiconductors are capped at 15%, and steel and aluminum from the EU remain at 50% Section 232. Alcoholic beverages remain subject to further negotiation. From Sept 1, 2026, aircraft and aircraft parts, generic pharmaceuticals plus ingredients and precursors, and unavailable natural resources (including cork) revert to MFN-only. In exchange, the EU eliminated duties on US industrial goods July 1. Italian food products (Parmigiano-Reggiano, olive oil, wine) that previously faced Airbus-dispute tariffs remain free of those surcharges. Italy's pharmaceutical exports to the US continue growing significantly.

Tips for Importers

Under the EU deal, Italian food imports pay a flat 10% net of Column 1 for ordinary goods (15% only in lieu of Section 232 for autos, qualifying semiconductor articles, and drones) — Parmigiano-Reggiano, olive oil, and wine no longer have MFN duties stacking on top of a surcharge, and any product whose MFN rate is 15% or higher (some over-quota cheeses) pays MFN only. For fashion and luxury goods (Gucci, Prada, Armani), note that apparel MFN rates averaging 16.5% exceed the 15% ceiling — those garments pay MFN only, with no EU-deal surcharge at all; first-sale valuation can further reduce the dutiable value on high-margin products. Ferrari and Lamborghini vehicles pay a flat 15% total. Pharmaceuticals are capped at 15%, with EU generics plus ingredients going MFN-only Sept 1, 2026. Unlike Section 122 (which expired July 24, 2026 and was replaced by the Section 301 forced-labor tariff for non-EU countries), the EU deal rate has no built-in sunset — plan inventory on the 15% ceiling.

How Are US Tariffs on Italy Imports Calculated?

US import duties on goods from Italy are determined by multiple overlapping tariff authorities. The ordinary-goods layer is a 10% net of Column 1 (note 52(k), headings 9903.05.38–.39), effective July 24, 2026 (FR Doc. 2026-15181, 91 FR 47318, and memorandum FR Doc. 2026-15274). Where Column 1 is already at least 10%, the additional duty is 0. Autos, qualifying semiconductor articles, and drones stay at 15% in lieu of Section 232. MFN (General) basis - Special-claim/AVE not modelled. exemption lists in note 52/Annex II not modelled. Section 232 tariffs of 50% on steel and 50% on aluminum apply to metals imports, outside the EU deal's 15% ceiling.

To calculate the total duty on a specific import from Italy, use the US import duty calculator for goods from Italy or the landed cost calculator for a complete estimate including Merchandise Processing Fee (MPF) and Harbor Maintenance Fee (HMF). You can also compare Italy rates with other countries to evaluate sourcing alternatives.

Frequently Asked Questions

What tariff do Ferrari and Lamborghini imports face under the EU-US trade deal?

Since July 1, 2026, Italian sports cars enter at a flat 10% net of Column 1 for ordinary goods (15% only in lieu of Section 232 for autos, qualifying semiconductor articles, and drones) — the EU deal rate that applies in lieu of the 27.5% Section 232 auto regime (2.5% MFN + 25% Section 232). During the Feb–June 2026 Section 122 window they paid 12.5%. Unlike German automakers, Ferrari and Lamborghini manufacture exclusively in Italy and have no US production plants, so tariff exposure cannot be avoided through domestic sourcing.

Does first-sale valuation work for Italian fashion imports?

Yes, and it is particularly valuable for Italian luxury goods. First-sale valuation allows importers to use the lower manufacturer-to-middleman transaction value (rather than the middleman-to-US-buyer price) as the dutiable value. Note that under the EU deal effective July 1, 2026, garments with MFN rates of 15% or higher (apparel averages 16.5%) pay MFN only with no surcharge — so for much of Italian fashion, first-sale valuation on the MFN base is the main remaining lever.

Are Parmigiano-Reggiano and Italian cheese imports cheaper after the EU-US deal?

Since July 1, 2026, Italian cheeses fall under the EU deal's 10% net of Column 1 for ordinary goods (15% only in lieu of Section 232 for autos, qualifying semiconductor articles, and drones) ceiling: cheeses with MFN duties below 15% pay a total of 15% (no stacking), and any cheese whose MFN rate is 15% or higher — such as some over-quota dairy — pays MFN only, with no surcharge. The Airbus-dispute tariffs that previously added 25% to certain EU cheeses remain suspended.

What tariff does Italian olive oil face under the EU-US deal?

A flat 10% net of Column 1 for ordinary goods (15% only in lieu of Section 232 for autos, qualifying semiconductor articles, and drones) since July 1, 2026 — the MFN olive oil duty (about 3.4 cents per kilogram for virgin) no longer stacks on top. The rate history: 20% IEEPA plus MFN, then 10% Section 122 plus MFN from Feb 24, now 15% total. Italy is the world's second-largest olive oil producer after Spain, and both trade under the same EU deal terms. Non-EU sources like Tunisia and Turkey now pay the Section 301 forced-labor tariff (10% or 12.5% depending on tier) plus MFN, which replaced Section 122 on July 24, 2026.

Can I get an IEEPA tariff refund on 2025 Italian imports?

Possibly, if you were the Importer of Record and paid the 20% IEEPA reciprocal tariff on Italian goods between April 2025 and February 24, 2026. That IEEPA layer is what CAPE can refund — not today's 15% EU-deal ceiling, not Section 232 metals, and not a retail customer's receipt. File through CAPE (Phases 1–2 are live; Phase 3 opens October 6, 2026 for CIT plaintiffs only). See how to claim an IEEPA refund and the tariff-refunds hub. Illustrative analysis, not a promised recovery amount.

Note: Rates shown do not include potential anti-dumping or countervailing duties (AD/CVD), which may apply to specific products and can significantly increase total duty. Consult a customs broker for product-specific rates.
