Effective Rate

The 50% Section 232 rate applies to articles wholly of steel, aluminum, or copper (derivatives are 25%), on full customs value. The 10% Section 122 surcharge does not stack on the Section 232 metal content — it reaches only any non-metal portion — so a wholly-metal article’s effective rate is 50%, not 60%.

Among US trading partners for articles of iron or steel, Indonesia plays a notable role, with approximately $38B in total bilateral trade.

The current tariff framework for articles of iron or steel from Indonesia reflects the post-SCOTUS landscape: a 10% Section 122 tariff replaced the previously higher IEEPA rates after the Court's February 2026 ruling.

The Section 122 tariff is subject to a 150-day statutory time limit and is set to expire approximately July 24, 2026, unless Congress acts to extend or replace it. Importers should monitor legislative developments closely as this deadline approaches.

Products in this chapter may be subject to Section 232 metals tariffs. Since the April 6, 2026 restructuring these are two-tier: 50% on articles wholly of steel, aluminum, or copper and 25% on derivative articles, on the full customs value (doubled from 25% to 50% in June 2025). The 10% Section 122 surcharge does NOT stack on the Section 232 metal content, so a wholly-metal article runs about 50%, not 60%.

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