Estimate My Refund →Qatar Import Tariff Overview
Qatar faces a 10% Section 122 tariff on US imports. Qatar is the world's largest LNG exporter, and its gas exports have been severely disrupted by both the Hormuz closure and damage to the Ras Laffan LNG facility on March 18, 2026.
US imports from Qatar total approximately $6 billion annually, primarily LNG, petroleum products, chemicals, aluminum, and fertilizers. Qatar's Ras Laffan facility — one of the world's largest LNG processing plants — was damaged on March 18, taking offline approximately 17% of Qatar's export capacity.
Key Products Imported from Qatar
Liquefied natural gas (LNG), crude oil, petroleum products, chemicals, aluminum, and fertilizers. The dual disruption of Hormuz closure and Ras Laffan damage has significantly reduced Qatar's export capacity.
Recent Changes
March 18, 2026: Ras Laffan LNG facility damaged, losing ~17% of Qatar's export capacity. Combined with Hormuz closure, Qatari exports are severely constrained. Global LNG and aluminum prices elevated.
Tips for Importers
Importers of LNG, aluminum, and fertilizers should evaluate alternative sources not affected by the Gulf disruption. Aluminum prices from Qatari and UAE smelters are elevated — consider sources in Canada, Norway, or Australia. Monitor the situation as repair timelines for Ras Laffan are uncertain.
How US Tariffs on Qatar Work
US import duties on goods from Qatar 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. Section 232 tariffs of 50% on steel and 50% on aluminum apply to metals imports, regardless of the Section 122 rate.
