Italy Tariff Rates 2026: 10% on US Imports
As of 2026-06-14, US imports from Italy carry an effective tariff of about 10%. This combines the 10% Section 122 baseline applied to all countries, with Section 232 metals tariffs of 50% on steel and 50% on aluminum charged separately. 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 10% Section 122 tariff was ruled unlawful by the Court of International Trade in May 2026, but a Federal Circuit stay is keeping it in force pending appeal; absent that, it is set to expire around July 24, 2026.

Italy Import Tariff Overview
Italy now faces a 10% Section 122 tariff (effective Feb 24, 2026), down from 20% under the struck-down IEEPA regime. As one of the largest European exporters to the US at ~$70B annually, the 10-point rate cut is significant for pharmaceuticals, machinery, fashion, wine, olive oil, and automotive icons like Ferrari and Lamborghini — though Section 232 metals tariffs apply at 50% on articles wholly of steel/aluminum and 25% on derivative articles such as machinery and auto parts (both on full customs value, after the April 6, 2026 restructuring).
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 is subject to the bloc-wide Section 122 rate 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
Feb 20, 2026: SCOTUS struck down IEEPA tariffs 6-3 — Italy's rate dropped from 20% to 10% under Section 122 (effective Feb 24, expires ~July 24, 2026). The 10% Section 122 layer is contested: the Court of International Trade ruled it unlawful May 7, 2026, and the Federal Circuit stayed that ruling June 11, 2026, so CBP keeps collecting it pending appeal. Section 232 metals tariffs apply at 50% on articles wholly of steel/aluminum and 25% on derivative products such as machinery and auto parts (both on full customs value, after the April 6, 2026 restructuring). Italian food products (Parmigiano-Reggiano, olive oil, wine) that previously faced Airbus-dispute tariffs remain free of those surcharges but face the 10% Section 122. EU retaliatory measures on US goods remain in effect. Ferrari and Lamborghini vehicles now face 12.5% total (10% Section 122 + 2.5% MFN) instead of the old 22.5%. Italy's pharmaceutical exports to the US continue growing significantly.
Tips for Importers
The 10-point tariff reduction significantly improves Italian food import economics — Parmigiano-Reggiano, olive oil, and wine now face 10% Section 122 plus MFN duties instead of the old 20% + MFN. For fashion and luxury goods (Gucci, Prada, Armani), first-sale valuation is especially valuable: using the manufacturer-to-distributor price as the dutiable value can reduce the 10% Section 122 impact substantially on high-margin products. Ferrari and Lamborghini vehicles now face 12.5% total instead of 22.5%. Pharmaceuticals enter at 0% MFN, making the 10% Section 122 the only layer. Verify HTS classifications for machinery — many categories carry 0% MFN. The Section 122 tariff expires ~July 24, 2026 — plan inventory accordingly.
How Are US Tariffs on Italy Imports Calculated?
US import duties on goods from Italy 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. (The Court of International Trade ruled this tariff unlawful in May 2026; it remains collected under a Federal Circuit stay while the government’s appeal proceeds.) Section 232 tariffs of 50% on steel and 50% on aluminum apply to metals imports, regardless of the Section 122 rate.

Already importing from Italy? 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.
