Lithuania Tariff Rates 2026: 15% on US Imports
As of 2026-07-24, US imports from Lithuania 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 Lithuania 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10% Section 122 tariff (in effect Feb 24 – June 30, 2026 for EU goods) no longer applies to EU-origin goods — it was superseded by the EU-US deal on July 1, 2026, and nationwide it expired at its 150-day limit on July 24, 2026.

Lithuania Import Tariff Overview
Lithuania is covered by the EU-US trade deal effective July 1, 2026: most Lithuanian goods now face a 15% all-inclusive US tariff ceiling with no stacking — goods whose MFN rate is 15% or higher pay MFN only. This replaced the 10% Section 122 tariff that applied from Feb 24 to June 30, 2026. Steel and aluminum from the EU remain at 50% Section 232 on wholly-metal articles (25% on derivatives).
Lithuania is a Baltic EU member (joined the EU in 2004, adopted the euro in 2015) and trades with the US under the bloc-wide EU-US deal terms — it cannot negotiate tariffs independently. Though a small economy, it is a strategic NATO partner and a globally significant supplier of scientific lasers and photonics, alongside furniture, food, and fintech services. Lithuanian laser makers such as Light Conversion and Ekspla supply femtosecond and ultrafast laser systems to US research labs and semiconductor manufacturers, giving the country an outsized presence in high-value precision optics.
Key Products Imported from Lithuania
Top imports include scientific and industrial lasers and photonics equipment, furniture and wood products (Lithuania is a major IKEA supplier), refined petroleum products, fertilizers, food and beverages (dairy, cheese, grain, confectionery), plastics, and textiles. Lithuania is one of the world's leading producers of ultrafast and femtosecond laser systems used in research and semiconductor fabrication.
Recent Changes
The timeline: Feb 20, 2026 — SCOTUS struck down IEEPA tariffs 6-3, dropping Lithuania from 20% to the 10% Section 122 rate (effective Feb 24). July 1, 2026 — the EU-US trade deal took effect, moving Lithuania off Section 122 and onto a 15% all-inclusive ceiling with no stacking; goods with MFN rates of 15%+ pay MFN only. Steel and aluminum from the EU remain at 50% Section 232, and alcoholic beverages remain subject to further negotiation. From Sept 1, 2026, generic pharmaceuticals plus their ingredients and precursors, aircraft and aircraft parts, and unavailable natural resources revert to MFN-only. In exchange, the EU eliminated duties on US industrial goods July 1. Separately, the 10% Section 122 reciprocal tariff that still applied to non-EU countries reached its 150-day statutory limit and expired July 24, 2026, replaced by the Section 301 forced-labor tariff (10% standard) — but Lithuania had already moved onto the EU deal rate, so this did not affect Lithuanian goods.
Tips for Importers
Under the EU deal, Lithuanian lasers, photonics, and precision optics pay a flat 15% all-inclusive — verify HTS classification, since many scientific instruments carry low or 0% MFN rates and the 15% is a ceiling, not a surcharge on top of MFN. Furniture and wood products also fall under the 15% ceiling; any line whose MFN rate is 15% or higher pays MFN only. If you imported Lithuanian goods before Feb 20, 2026 and paid the 20% IEEPA reciprocal tariff, you may be eligible for a refund from the $166B SCOTUS-ordered refund pool — check your entry summaries and file protests within the CBP window. Unlike the Section 122 tariff that governed non-EU countries, the EU deal's 15% ceiling has no built-in sunset, so plan inventory on the 15% number.
How Are US Tariffs on Lithuania Imports Calculated?
US import duties on goods from Lithuania 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 Lithuania? 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.
