Turkey Tariff Rates 2026: 12.5% on US Imports

Updated 2026-09-14

Effective Rate

12.5%

As of 2026-09-14, US imports from Turkey carry an effective tariff of about 12.5%. This combines the 12.5% 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 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).

Updated Feb 21, 2026: IEEPA tariff (was 10%) struck down by SCOTUS Feb 20. Replaced by the 10% Section 122 tariff (Feb 24), which 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% by economy). Section 122 expired July 24, 2026 and was replaced by the Section 301 forced-labor tariff.

IEEPA refunds — illustrative, not a personal claim

Paid IEEPA duty on imports from Turkey 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 Turkey 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.

Turkey Import Tariff Overview

Turkey's base rate is now the 12.5% Section 301 forced-labor tariff, which replaced Section 122 on July 24, 2026 (up from the 10% IEEPA/Section 122 floor). Section 232 metals tariffs now 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; the UK pays 25%/15%), so primary-metal articles match Turkey's previously punitive 50% rate. US imports from Turkey total approximately $15B annually, with the world's largest hazelnut supply and growing textile competitiveness.

Turkey faces the 12.5% Section 301 forced-labor tariff (which replaced Section 122 on July 24, 2026) and Section 232 metals tariffs of 50% on articles wholly of steel/aluminum and 25% on derivative products (both on full customs value, after the April 6, 2026 restructuring) — the same metal-article rate as other countries since the June 2025 doubling. Turkey's previously punitive 50% rate (imposed in 2018 during a diplomatic dispute) is now the standard. There is no bilateral FTA. Turkey is a NATO ally and has been seeking EU accession for decades. Turkey's strategic location bridges European, Middle Eastern, and Central Asian supply chains, and its textile and apparel sector has grown rapidly.

Key Products Imported from Turkey

Top imports include steel and steel products, vehicles and auto parts, machinery, jewelry, textiles and apparel, dried fruits and nuts (hazelnuts — Turkey produces ~70% of global supply — figs, apricots), and marble and stone. Turkey is the world's largest hazelnut producer and a significant steel exporter despite the punitive tariff.

Recent Changes

Feb 20, 2026: SCOTUS struck down IEEPA tariffs 6-3 — Turkey's base rate moved to the Section 301 forced-labor tariff (12.5% tier), which replaced the expired 10% Section 122 baseline on July 24, 2026. Section 232 metals tariffs are 50% on articles wholly of steel/aluminum and 25% on derivative products (both on full customs value, after the April 6, 2026 restructuring; the UK pays 25%/15%) — Turkey's metal-article rate is no longer uniquely elevated. The SCOTUS ruling leveled the playing field: competitors like Vietnam (now in the 12.5% tier, matching Turkey) and Bangladesh (in the 10% tier) sit at the Section 301 forced-labor tariff, eliminating Turkey's previous textile tariff advantage.

Tips for Importers

Most countries now face 50% Section 232 on steel articles wholly of steel (doubled June 2025) and 25% on derivative products. Consider South Korea (quota arrangement), UK (25%/15% under EPD), or Australia (exempt from Section 232) as lower-cost alternatives. For non-steel products, Turkey is competitive at the 12.5% forced-labor tariff (which replaced Section 122 on July 24, 2026). Turkish textiles and apparel now compete on a 10%-or-12.5% forced-labor footing with Vietnam (12.5%), Bangladesh (10%), and India (10%) — competition shifts to quality, lead times, and price. Turkey's proximity to Europe and sophisticated textile manufacturing make it strong for fashion-forward apparel. Hazelnuts face the 12.5% forced-labor tariff plus minimal MFN nut duties — Turkey supplies ~70% of global demand, making substitution difficult. Section 122 expired July 24, 2026 and was replaced by the 12.5% forced-labor tariff — plan accordingly.

How Are US Tariffs on Turkey Imports Calculated?

US import duties on goods from Turkey are determined by multiple overlapping tariff authorities. The base layer is the 12.5% 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.

To calculate the total duty on a specific import from Turkey, 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 Turkey rates with other countries to evaluate sourcing alternatives.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is Turkey's 50% Section 232 steel tariff still uniquely high?

No. In June 2025, Section 232 steel and aluminum tariffs were doubled from 25% to 50% on articles wholly of the metal, and after the April 6, 2026 restructuring derivative products are at 25% (both on full customs value). Turkey's previously punitive 50% rate (imposed in 2018 during a diplomatic dispute) is now the standard metal-article rate. The UK pays 25%/15% under the Economic Prosperity Deal, and Australia remains exempt.

Are Turkish hazelnuts competitive in the US market after the ruling?

Turkey produces approximately 70% of the world's hazelnut supply, making it effectively irreplaceable for large-volume buyers (including Ferrero/Nutella). Hazelnuts face the 12.5% Section 301 forced-labor tariff (which replaced Section 122 on July 24, 2026) plus minimal MFN nut duties — a relatively modest total burden. Turkey's base rate rose slightly to 12.5% on July 24, 2026, but hazelnut pricing is relatively stable. Oregon is the only significant alternative US source, but at a fraction of Turkish volume.

How competitive are Turkish textiles now that Vietnam and Bangladesh dropped to 10%?

Turkey's textile tariff advantage has been eliminated. Before the SCOTUS ruling, Turkey's 10% rate was significantly lower than Vietnam (46%) and Bangladesh (37%), giving Turkish textiles a major cost edge. Now Turkey and Vietnam sit at the 12.5% forced-labor tier and Bangladesh at 10% (all replaced Section 122 on July 24, 2026), and competition shifts to labor costs (Bangladesh is cheapest), production quality (Turkey excels in fashion-forward garments), and lead times (Turkey is closest to European design houses). Turkish textiles compete best in the premium and fast-fashion segments.

How does Turkey's steel tariff compare to other countries after the June 2025 doubling?

Most countries now face the same 50% Section 232 tariff on steel articles wholly of steel (with 25% on derivative products), except the UK (25%/15% under the EPD) and Australia (exempt). Turkey's previously punitive rate is now standard. Turkish steel competes on equal footing with Brazilian, Japanese, and Indian steel on tariff terms.

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.
