Total Effective Rate

Importers sourcing food industry residues and waste from Germany face specific tariff considerations, with approximately $252B in total bilateral trade.

The current tariff framework for food industry residues and waste from Germany 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.

Food Industry Residues and Waste (HTS Chapter 23) carry an average MFN duty rate of 2.2% in addition to the Section 122 tariff. No additional Section 232 or Section 301 surcharges apply to most products in this category from Germany.

Key products in HTS Chapter 23 imported from Germany include Soybean meal, Dog and cat food, Oilcake, Beet pulp, Brewing dregs, and Fish meal.
