Thailand Tariff Rates 2026: 10% on US Imports

Updated 2026-07-24

Effective Rate

10%36%

As of 2026-07-24, US imports from Thailand 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 36% 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).

Did You Import From Thailand?

If you imported goods from Thailand between April 2025 and February 2026, you likely paid the 36% IEEPA tariff that was later ruled unconstitutional. You may be owed a refund.

Example: $50,000 in imports from Thailand at 36% ≈ $13,000 in potential IEEPA refund (plus statutory interest)

Thailand Import Tariff Overview

Thailand saw a dramatic tariff reduction from 36% (IEEPA) to 10% (Section 122), a 26-point drop that restores its competitiveness as a major manufacturing hub. US imports from Thailand total approximately $60B annually across electronics, vehicles, food, and rubber products.

There is no FTA between the US and Thailand, though Thailand has been a US trade preference beneficiary under GSP for eligible products. Thailand is a member of ASEAN and RCEP, positioning it within broader Asian supply chains. The country is a major automotive production hub (particularly for pickup trucks) and a leading food processor. The SCOTUS ruling has restored Thailand's cost competitiveness versus other ASEAN nations.

Key Products Imported from Thailand

Top imports include computer hard drives and electronics, rubber and rubber products, vehicles and auto parts, processed seafood (shrimp, tuna), jewelry, rice, and canned fruits. Thailand is the world's largest exporter of canned tuna and a top producer of natural rubber.

Recent Changes

Feb 20, 2026: SCOTUS struck down IEEPA tariffs — Thailand's rate dropped from 36% to 10% Section 122 (scheduled to sunset ~July 24, 2026). A 26-point reduction that dramatically improves Thai export competitiveness. 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). Thai hard drive and electronics exports were resilient even at 36% and should strengthen further. No FTA negotiations are active.

Tips for Importers

Thailand is significantly more competitive post-SCOTUS — the 26-point reduction makes Thai goods viable across many product categories that were priced out at 36%. For hard drives and electronics, many HTS codes carry 0% MFN duty, making the 10% Section 122 tariff the only layer. Thai canned tuna faces 10% Section 122 plus specific MFN duties. All ASEAN suppliers now face the same 10% Section 122 rate, so competition shifts to quality, capacity, and logistics rather than tariff arbitrage.

How Are US Tariffs on Thailand Imports Calculated?

US import duties on goods from Thailand 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 Section 122 rate.

To calculate the total duty on a specific import from Thailand, use our US import duty calculator or landed cost calculator for a complete estimate including Merchandise Processing Fee (MPF) and Harbor Maintenance Fee (HMF). You can also compare Thailand rates with other countries to evaluate sourcing alternatives.

Already importing from Thailand? 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.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much did Thai import tariffs drop after the SCOTUS ruling?

Thailand's rate fell from 36% (IEEPA) to 10% (Section 122), a 26-percentage-point reduction. This is one of the largest decreases among US trading partners and dramatically improves the economics of Thai manufacturing for US-bound exports.

Are Thai hard drives and electronics affected by tariffs?

Many computer hard drives and electronic components from Thailand are classified under HTS codes with 0% MFN duty (under the Information Technology Agreement). The 10% Section 122 tariff applies, but the total burden is far less than the old 36% IEEPA rate.

Is Thai canned tuna still competitive in the US market?

Yes. Thailand is the world's largest canned tuna exporter, and the drop from 36% to 10% significantly reduces the tariff burden. Thai seafood processors remain cost-competitive, though importers should be aware of ongoing labor practice scrutiny.

How does Thailand compare to Vietnam for manufacturing after the ruling?

Both countries now face the identical 10% Section 122 tariff, creating a level playing field. Before the ruling, Thailand (36%) was cheaper than Vietnam (46%), but the gap was narrower. Now competition is based on labor costs, infrastructure, specialization, and supply chain maturity.

Note: Rates shown do not include potential anti-dumping or countervailing duties (AD/CVD), which may apply to specific products and can significantly increase total duty. Consult a customs broker for product-specific rates.
