Total Effective Rate

Belgium is a significant source of fertilizers imports into the United States, with approximately $50B in total bilateral trade.

The current tariff framework for fertilizers from Belgium 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.

Fertilizers (HTS Chapter 31) generally enter duty-free at the MFN level, with the Section 122 tariff as the primary duty. No additional Section 232 or Section 301 surcharges apply to most products in this category from Belgium.

Key products in HTS Chapter 31 imported from Belgium include Urea, Ammonium nitrate, Diammonium phosphate, Potash (potassium chloride), NPK blended fertilizers, and Superphosphates.
