US Tariffs on Fertilizers from Saudi Arabia — 10% (2026)

Importers sourcing fertilizers from Saudi Arabia face specific tariff considerations, with approximately $38B in total bilateral trade.

As of March 2026, fertilizers imports from Saudi Arabia face a base tariff rate of 10% under Section 122 of the Trade Act of 1974. This rate replaced the previous IEEPA reciprocal tariff following the Supreme Court's 6-3 ruling in V.O.S. Selections Inc. v. United States on February 20, 2026.

Under the Trade Act of 1974, Section 122 tariffs are limited to 150 days. The current 10% rate expires around July 24, 2026. Congressional action would be required to extend these tariffs beyond that date.

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 Saudi Arabia.

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