Pakistan Tariff Rates 2026: 10% on US Imports
As of 2026-07-24, US imports from Pakistan carry an effective tariff of about 10%. This combines the 10% Section 301 forced-labor baseline (which replaced Section 122 on July 24, 2026) applied to countries without a separate deal, with Section 232 metals tariffs of 50% on steel and 50% on aluminum charged separately. The rate fell from 29% 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 (effective Feb 24, 2026) expired at its 150-day limit on July 24, 2026 and was replaced the same day by the Section 301 forced-labor tariff (10%, or 12.5% for higher-tier economies).

Pakistan Import Tariff Overview
Pakistan's pre-ruling IEEPA reciprocal rate of 29% was replaced by a 10% base layer after the 2026 tariff reset. That base is now the Section 301 forced-labor tariff at the 10% tier, which replaced the expired 10% Section 122 surcharge on July 24, 2026, plus MFN duty; Section 232 metals remain at 50%.
There is no US-Pakistan free trade agreement, and the trade relationship is anchored by textiles and a distinctive concentration in surgical instruments. The US is one of Pakistan's largest export markets, with textiles and apparel forming the backbone of shipments.
Key Products Imported from Pakistan
Top US imports from Pakistan include cotton textiles such as bed linen and towels, apparel, leather goods, surgical and dental instruments, rice, and sporting goods. Pakistan's Sialkot cluster is a globally leading source of stainless-steel surgical instruments.
Recent Changes
SCOTUS struck down the IEEPA reciprocal tariffs on February 20, 2026 and Pakistan's rate fell from 29% to a 10% base layer (a $166B refund pool is being paid). The 10% Section 122 surcharge expired July 24, 2026 and was replaced by the Section 301 forced-labor tariff at the 10% tier, with de minimis eliminated for all origins. Section 232 steel and aluminum remain at 50%.
Tips for Importers
Home textiles and apparel carry substantial MFN duties on top of the 10% base layer, so model the combined rate for cotton bed linen and towels. Surgical instruments made wholly of stainless steel can trigger Section 232 steel exposure on the metal content, so confirm classification carefully; importers who paid the 29% IEEPA rate in 2025-early 2026 should review CAPE refund eligibility.
How Are US Tariffs on Pakistan Imports Calculated?
US import duties on goods from Pakistan are determined by multiple overlapping tariff authorities. The base layer is the 10% Section 301 forced-labor tariff, which replaced the expired 10% Section 122 tariff on July 24, 2026 and applies to most countries without a separate trade deal. Section 232 tariffs of 50% on steel and 50% on aluminum apply to metals imports, regardless of the forced-labor tariff.

You can also compare Pakistan rates with other countries to evaluate sourcing alternatives.
Already importing from Pakistan? 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.
