Netherlands Tariff Rates 2026: 15% on US Imports
As of 2026-07-24, US imports from Netherlands 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 Netherlands 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) was ruled unlawful by the Court of International Trade in May 2026 and remains under Federal Circuit appeal, but it no longer applies to EU-origin goods.

Netherlands Import Tariff Overview
The Netherlands is covered by the EU-US trade deal effective July 1, 2026: most Dutch goods now face a 15% all-inclusive US tariff ceiling with no stacking, replacing the 10% Section 122 tariff that applied from Feb 24 to June 30, 2026. Crucially for the Netherlands, the deal caps semiconductors at 15% — directly relevant to ASML, the world's sole manufacturer of EUV lithography machines and one of the most strategically important companies in the global semiconductor supply chain.
The Netherlands serves as the EU's logistics gateway, with the Port of Rotterdam being Europe's largest. This means trade statistics overstate goods actually produced in the Netherlands. Key Dutch industries include advanced machinery (ASML semiconductor lithography equipment), chemicals, refined petroleum products, and agricultural products (flowers, dairy). ASML's monopoly on extreme ultraviolet (EUV) lithography technology makes it irreplaceable in the global semiconductor supply chain — a single EUV machine costs approximately $380M.
Key Products Imported from Netherlands
Top imports include semiconductor manufacturing equipment (ASML), refined petroleum, machinery, chemicals, pharmaceuticals, cut flowers (tulips, roses), dairy products (Gouda cheese), and processed food. ASML's extreme ultraviolet (EUV) lithography machines are critical for advanced chip production and represent some of the highest-value individual imports to the US.
Recent Changes
The timeline: Feb 20, 2026 — SCOTUS struck down IEEPA tariffs 6-3, dropping the Netherlands from 20% to the 10% Section 122 rate (effective Feb 24). July 1, 2026 — the EU-US trade deal took effect, moving the Netherlands off Section 122 and onto a 15% all-inclusive ceiling with no stacking; goods with MFN rates of 15%+ pay MFN only. Semiconductors and pharmaceuticals are capped at 15% under the deal, and steel and aluminum from the EU remain at 50% Section 232. From Sept 1, 2026, aircraft and aircraft parts and generic pharmaceuticals plus ingredients revert to MFN-only. In exchange, the EU eliminated duties on US industrial goods July 1. ASML's semiconductor equipment exports are strategically critical and subject to export control discussions (focused on restricting China's access). The Netherlands' role as a transshipment hub means country-of-origin rules remain critical for determining which tariff rates apply — the 15% EU rate only covers goods of EU origin. Dutch cut flower exports remain the world's largest, with Aalsmeer as the global trading hub.
Tips for Importers
ASML semiconductor lithography equipment now pays the flat 15% EU-deal ceiling (the deal's semiconductor cap) — up from the interim 10% Section 122 rate but well below any threatened sectoral semiconductor tariff, and with no MFN stacking. Given EUV machines cost ~$380M each, rate certainty matters at ~$57M per machine. Ensure correct country of origin for goods passing through Rotterdam — goods transshipped through the Netherlands but manufactured elsewhere are classified by actual origin and do NOT get the EU deal rate. Cut flowers (tulips, roses) pay a flat 15% all-inclusive — compare with Colombian flowers (TPA duty-free). Dutch Gouda falls under the 15% ceiling; over-quota dairy with MFN rates of 15%+ pays MFN only, with no surcharge. Unlike Section 122 (which expires July 24, 2026 for non-EU countries), the EU deal rate has no built-in sunset.
How Are US Tariffs on Netherlands Imports Calculated?
US import duties on goods from Netherlands 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.
To calculate the total duty on a specific import from Netherlands, use our US import duty calculator or landed cost calculator for a complete estimate including Merchandise Processing Fee (MPF) and Harbor Maintenance Fee (HMF). You can also compare Netherlands rates with other countries to evaluate sourcing alternatives.
Already importing from Netherlands? 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.
