US-Colombia TPA — qualifying goods may enter duty-free

Among US trading partners for articles of iron or steel, Colombia plays a notable role, with approximately $36B in total bilateral trade.

Following the Supreme Court's landmark February 20, 2026 decision striking down IEEPA tariffs, imports of articles of iron or steel from Colombia are now subject to a 10% tariff under Section 122 of the Trade Act of 1974, effective February 24, 2026.

This 10% rate has a built-in expiration: Section 122 limits presidential tariff authority to 150 days, meaning the tariff expires approximately July 24, 2026 without congressional renewal.

Products in this chapter may be subject to Section 232 tariffs of 50% on steel and aluminum items, which were doubled in June 2025 and remain unaffected by the SCOTUS ruling. When applicable, the combined rate reaches 60%.

Colombia is party to the US-Colombia TPA, which may provide preferential or duty-free access for qualifying articles of iron or steel. Importers should verify rules of origin requirements to take advantage of preferential rates.

Key products in HTS Chapter 73 imported from Colombia include Steel structures, Steel containers, Screws and bolts, Steel springs, Wire fencing, and Steel nails.
