KORUS — qualifying goods may enter duty-free

Importers sourcing ceramic products from South Korea face specific tariff considerations, with approximately $169B in total bilateral trade.

The current tariff framework for ceramic products from South Korea 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.

Ceramic Products (HTS Chapter 69) carry an average MFN duty rate of 7% in addition to the Section 122 tariff. No additional Section 232 or Section 301 surcharges apply to most products in this category from South Korea.

South Korea is party to the KORUS, which may provide preferential or duty-free access for qualifying ceramic products. Importers should verify rules of origin requirements to take advantage of preferential rates.

Key products in HTS Chapter 69 imported from South Korea include Ceramic tiles, Porcelain tableware, Ceramic sanitary fixtures, Bricks, Ceramic pipes, and Ceramic figurines.
