US-Singapore FTA — qualifying goods may enter duty-free

Iron and Steel from Singapore represent an important segment of bilateral trade, with approximately $70B in total bilateral trade.

The current tariff framework for iron and steel from Singapore 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.

Products in this chapter may be subject to Section 232 tariffs of 50% on steel and aluminum items, which were doubled in June 2025 and remain unaffected by the SCOTUS ruling. When applicable, the combined rate reaches 60%.

Singapore is party to the US-Singapore FTA, which may provide preferential or duty-free access for qualifying iron and steel. Importers should verify rules of origin requirements to take advantage of preferential rates.

Key products in HTS Chapter 72 imported from Singapore include Hot-rolled steel coils, Cold-rolled steel sheets, Steel rebar, Stainless steel, Steel wire, and Steel pipe and tube.
