Sweden Tariff Rates 2026: 10% on US Imports
As of 2026-06-14, US imports from Sweden carry an effective tariff of about 10%. This combines the 10% Section 122 baseline applied to all countries, with Section 232 metals tariffs of 50% on steel and 50% on aluminum charged separately. 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 10% Section 122 tariff was ruled unlawful by the Court of International Trade in May 2026, but a Federal Circuit stay is keeping it in force pending appeal; absent that, it is set to expire around July 24, 2026.

Section 232 rates shown apply to articles wholly of steel, aluminum, or copper. Since the April 6, 2026 restructuring, qualifying derivative products are dutied at 25% on their full customs value rather than 50%. Verify your product’s classification — the exact 232 treatment depends on HTS code and metal content.

Sweden Import Tariff Overview
Sweden now faces a 10% Section 122 tariff (effective Feb 24, 2026), down from 20% under the struck-down IEEPA regime. As a Nordic manufacturing powerhouse at ~$14B in annual US imports, the 10-point rate cut benefits vehicles (Volvo), telecommunications equipment (Ericsson 5G), pharmaceuticals (AstraZeneca), and furniture — though Section 232 metals tariffs apply at 50% on articles wholly of steel/aluminum and 25% on derivative products (both on full customs value, after the April 6, 2026 restructuring).
Sweden is a significant Nordic exporter to the US, known for advanced manufacturing, automotive (Volvo Cars and Volvo Trucks), telecommunications (Ericsson), furniture (IKEA), and pharmaceuticals (AstraZeneca). As an EU member, Sweden is subject to the bloc-wide Section 122 rate. Volvo Cars operates a major manufacturing facility in Ridgeville, South Carolina, producing vehicles domestically. Ericsson is one of only three companies globally capable of building 5G network infrastructure at scale.
Key Products Imported from Sweden
Top imports include vehicles (Volvo Cars, Volvo Trucks), machinery, pharmaceuticals, iron and steel products, telecommunications equipment (Ericsson 5G infrastructure), paper products, furniture, and ball bearings (SKF). Sweden punches above its weight in advanced manufacturing relative to its population.
Recent Changes
Feb 20, 2026: SCOTUS struck down IEEPA tariffs 6-3 — Sweden's rate dropped from 20% to 10% under Section 122 (effective Feb 24, expires ~July 24, 2026). The 10% Section 122 layer is contested: the Court of International Trade ruled it unlawful May 7, 2026, and the Federal Circuit stayed that ruling June 11, 2026, so CBP keeps collecting it pending appeal. Section 232 metals tariffs apply at 50% on Swedish steel articles wholly of steel and 25% on derivative products (both on full customs value, after the April 6, 2026 restructuring). Volvo Cars' Ridgeville, SC plant produces several models domestically, avoiding the tariff entirely on those vehicles. Ericsson's 5G equipment exports are now more competitive at 10% versus the old 20%. IKEA's global supply chain means country of origin varies by product — many items are not actually manufactured in Sweden. EU retaliatory measures remain in effect.
Tips for Importers
Volvo vehicles manufactured at the Ridgeville, South Carolina plant avoid the 10% Section 122 tariff entirely — verify whether your specific model is US-built versus imported from Sweden or China (Volvo is owned by Geely). Ericsson 5G infrastructure equipment should be classified under specific HTS codes — many telecommunications equipment categories carry 0% MFN duty, making the 10% Section 122 the only layer. AstraZeneca pharmaceuticals enter at 0% MFN. IKEA origin complexity is critical: despite Swedish branding, many IKEA products are manufactured in Poland, China, Vietnam, or other countries — check actual country of origin on each item, as tariff rates differ. Swedish steel articles wholly of steel face 50% Section 232 (derivatives 25%) on top of 10% Section 122. The Section 122 tariff expires ~July 24, 2026 — plan accordingly.
How Are US Tariffs on Sweden Imports Calculated?
US import duties on goods from Sweden 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. (The Court of International Trade ruled this tariff unlawful in May 2026; it remains collected under a Federal Circuit stay while the government’s appeal proceeds.) Section 232 tariffs of 50% on steel and 50% on aluminum apply to metals imports, regardless of the Section 122 rate.

Already importing from Sweden? 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.
