Total Effective Rate

Importers sourcing inorganic chemicals from Russia face specific tariff considerations, with approximately $25B in total bilateral trade.

Following the Supreme Court's landmark February 20, 2026 decision striking down IEEPA tariffs, imports of inorganic chemicals from Russia are now subject to a 10% tariff under Section 122 of the Trade Act of 1974, effective February 24, 2026.

This 10% rate has a built-in expiration: Section 122 limits presidential tariff authority to 150 days, meaning the tariff expires approximately July 24, 2026 without congressional renewal.

Inorganic Chemicals (HTS Chapter 28) carry an average MFN duty rate of 3.2% in addition to the Section 122 tariff. No additional Section 232 or Section 301 surcharges apply to most products in this category from Russia.

Key products in HTS Chapter 28 imported from Russia include Hydrochloric acid, Sulfuric acid, Sodium hydroxide, Hydrogen peroxide, Titanium dioxide, and Rare-earth compounds.
