US Tariffs on Inorganic Chemicals from Uzbekistan — 10% (2026)

The United States imports substantial quantities of inorganic chemicals from Uzbekistan, with approximately $0.3B in total bilateral trade.

As of March 2026, inorganic chemicals imports from Uzbekistan 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.

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 Uzbekistan.

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