Netherlands to US ยท October 23, 2026

Netherlands 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: 9903.05.38โ€“.39.

Effective Rate
10%20%

As of 2026-10-23, US imports from Netherlands carry an effective tariff of about 10%. Ordinary goods are a 10% net of Column 1 (note 52(k), headings 9903.05.38โ€“.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 Netherlands 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Section 122 tariff (in effect Feb 24 โ€“ June 30, 2026 for EU goods) no longer applies to EU-origin goods โ€” it was superseded by the EU-US deal on July 1, 2026, and nationwide it expired at its 150-day limit on July 24, 2026.

Updated Jul 1, 2026: Ordinary EU-origin goods pay a 10% net of Column 1 under the Section 301 forced-labor tariff (U.S. note 52(k), headings 9903.05.38โ€“.39), effective July 24, 2026 (FR Doc. 2026-15181, 91 FR 47318, implementing the memorandum in FR Doc. 2026-15274). Where Column 1-General is already at least 10%, the additional duty is 0. 15% remains only in lieu of Section 232 for autos, qualifying semiconductor articles, and drones.

IEEPA refunds โ€” illustrative, not a personal claim

Paid IEEPA duty on imports from Netherlands in 2025โ€“early 2026?

The Supreme Court struck down IEEPA reciprocal (and fentanyl/trafficking) tariffs on February 20, 2026. The Importer of Record โ€” or the licensed broker who filed the original entries โ€” can seek that IEEPA layer back through CBPโ€™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 entryโ€™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 Netherlands at the published 20% IEEPA rate carried about $10,000 of IEEPA duty. That IEEPA layer โ€” plus statutory interest (6โ€“7% compounded daily under 19 CFR 24.36) โ€” is what CAPE can refund. Your actual figure comes from your 7501s, not this example.

Netherlands Import Tariff Overview

The Netherlands is covered by the EU-US trade deal effective July 1, 2026: most Dutch 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, 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% โ€” 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 โ€” 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 โ€” SCOTUS struck down IEEPA tariffs 6-3, dropping the Netherlands from 20% to the 10% Section 122 rate (effective Feb 24). July 1, 2026 โ€” the EU-US trade deal took effect, moving the Netherlands 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. 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 โ€” 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) โ€” 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 โ€” 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 10% net of Column 1 for ordinary goods (15% only in lieu of Section 232 for autos, qualifying semiconductor articles, and drones) โ€” 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 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.

How Are US Tariffs on Netherlands Imports Calculated?

US import duties on goods from Netherlands are determined by multiple overlapping tariff authorities. The ordinary-goods layer is a 10% net of Column 1 (note 52(k), headings 9903.05.38โ€“.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 Netherlands, use the US import duty calculator for goods from Netherlands or the 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.

Frequently Asked Questions

What tariff does ASML semiconductor equipment face under the EU-US deal?
Since July 1, 2026, ASML's EUV and DUV lithography machines pay the EU deal's flat 10% net of Column 1 for ordinary goods (15% only in lieu of Section 232 for autos, qualifying semiconductor articles, and drones) rate โ€” the deal explicitly caps EU semiconductors and semiconductor-sector goods at 15%. The rate history: 20% IEEPA, then 10% Section 122 from Feb 24, 2026, now the 15% deal ceiling. ASML is the world's sole manufacturer of EUV lithography technology โ€” there is no alternative supplier, making tariff cost a pass-through rather than a sourcing decision.
How do Rotterdam transshipment rules affect tariff classification?
Goods merely transshipped through the Port of Rotterdam retain their original country of origin for US tariff purposes. CBP requires substantial transformation in the Netherlands โ€” not just repackaging or relabeling โ€” to classify goods as Dutch origin. This matters more than ever: only EU-origin goods get the EU deal's 15% ceiling, while goods routed through Rotterdam from elsewhere face their origin country's rates (the 10% or 12.5% Section 301 forced-labor tariff that replaced Section 122 on July 24, 2026, plus China Section 301 for Chinese goods).
Are Dutch tulips and cut flowers competitive under the EU-US deal?
Dutch cut flowers 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) since July 1, 2026 โ€” MFN floral duties no longer stack on top. The Netherlands exports more cut flowers than any other country, with Aalsmeer as the global trading hub. However, Colombian flowers enter duty-free under the US-Colombia TPA, maintaining a structural tariff advantage over Dutch flowers for the US market.
Is Dutch Gouda cheese affected by the EU-US deal?
Yes. Since July 1, 2026, in-quota Gouda pays a total of 15% under the EU deal ceiling (its low MFN rate no longer stacks). Over-quota dairy with MFN rates of 15% or higher pays MFN only โ€” the deal adds no surcharge on top. TRQ management remains critical for cost control, but the stacking penalty of the Section 122 era is gone.
