Singapore Tariff Rates 2026: 10% on US Imports
As of 2026-09-14, US imports from Singapore 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. Goods qualifying under the US-Singapore FTA may enter with reduced or zero base duty, though the forced-labor tariff still applies. 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).

Paid IEEPA duty on imports from Singapore in 2025–early 2026?
The Supreme Court struck down IEEPA reciprocal (and fentanyl/trafficking) tariffs on February 20, 2026. The Importer of Record — or the licensed broker who filed the original entries — can seek that IEEPA layer back through CBP’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 entry’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 Singapore at the published 10% IEEPA rate carried about $5,000 of IEEPA duty. That IEEPA layer — plus statutory interest (6–7% compounded daily under 19 CFR 24.36) — is what CAPE can refund. Your actual figure comes from your 7501s, not this example.

Singapore Import Tariff Overview
Imports from Singapore that qualify under the US-Singapore Free Trade Agreement enter duty-free, so the FTA remains the decisive rate for most shipments. Non-qualifying goods sit on the 10% base reciprocal layer — the Section 301 forced-labor tariff that replaced the expired 10% Section 122 surcharge on July 24, 2026 — plus any MFN duty, with Section 232 metals at 50%.
The US-Singapore FTA, in force since 2004, was the United States' first free trade agreement in Asia and eliminates tariffs on essentially all originating goods. Singapore is a high-value, services-and-advanced-manufacturing economy and a critical transshipment and refining hub through the Port of Singapore, and the US typically runs a goods trade surplus with it.
Key Products Imported from Singapore
Leading US imports from Singapore include pharmaceuticals and biologics, integrated circuits and semiconductor equipment, industrial and analytical machinery, optical and medical instruments, organic chemicals, and refined petroleum products. Singapore is a major node for high-end chip fabrication and pharmaceutical manufacturing operated by multinational firms.
Recent Changes
The 10% Section 122 reciprocal surcharge that applied to non-FTA goods expired at its 150-day limit on July 24, 2026 and was replaced the same day by the Section 301 forced-labor tariff, with Singapore in the standard 10% tier. IEEPA reciprocal tariffs were struck down by SCOTUS on February 20, 2026 (a $166B refund pool is being paid), and the $800 de minimis exemption is eliminated for all countries. Section 232 steel and aluminum remain at 50%.
Tips for Importers
Claim US-Singapore FTA origin wherever possible — qualifying goods pay 0% and bypass the base reciprocal layer entirely, so keep certificates of origin and manufacturing records current. If you paid the 10% IEEPA reciprocal duty before the February 2026 SCOTUS ruling, check your eligibility to recover it through the CAPE refund process, and confirm correct HTS classification for pharmaceuticals and chips, which frequently carry 0% MFN before any add-on layer.
How Are US Tariffs on Singapore Imports Calculated?
US import duties on goods from Singapore 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. Singapore benefits from the US-Singapore FTA, which can eliminate MFN base duties on qualifying goods — though the forced-labor tariff still applies on top of FTA preferences.
