Turkey Import Tariff Overview

Turkey's 10% tariff rate continues under Section 122 authority after the SCOTUS ruling — unchanged from the IEEPA floor rate. Section 232 steel/aluminum tariffs are now 50% for all countries (doubled June 2025), matching Turkey's previously punitive rate. US imports from Turkey total approximately $15B annually, with the world's largest hazelnut supply and growing textile competitiveness.

Turkey faces a 10% Section 122 tariff and 50% Section 232 on steel/aluminum — the same steel rate as all 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 rate is unchanged at 10% under Section 122 (effective Feb 24, expires ~July 24, 2026). Section 232 steel/aluminum is 50% for all countries after June 2025 doubling — Turkey's rate is no longer uniquely elevated. The SCOTUS ruling leveled the playing field: competitors like Vietnam (46% to 10%) and Bangladesh (37% to 10%) now match Turkey's 10% rate, eliminating Turkey's previous textile tariff advantage.

Tips for Importers

All countries now face 50% Section 232 on steel (doubled June 2025). Consider South Korea (quota arrangement), UK (25% under EPD), or Australia (exempt from Section 232) as lower-cost alternatives. For non-steel products, Turkey is very competitive at 10% Section 122. Turkish textiles and apparel now compete on equal tariff footing with Vietnam, Bangladesh, and India (all at 10% Section 122) — 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 10% Section 122 plus minimal MFN nut duties — Turkey supplies ~70% of global demand, making substitution difficult. The Section 122 tariff expires ~July 24, 2026 — plan accordingly.

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% for all countries. Turkey's previously punitive 50% rate (imposed in 2018 during a diplomatic dispute) is now the standard rate. The UK pays 25% 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 10% Section 122 tariff plus minimal MFN nut duties — a relatively modest total burden. The SCOTUS ruling did not change Turkey's 10% rate, so hazelnut pricing is 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 all three face 10% Section 122, 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?

All countries now face the same 50% Section 232 steel tariff (except the UK at 25% and Australia at 0%). Turkey's previously punitive rate is now standard. Turkish steel competes on equal footing with Brazilian, Japanese, and Indian steel on tariff terms.
