The United States imports substantial quantities of machinery from Saudi Arabia, with approximately $38B in total bilateral trade.

The current tariff framework for machinery from Saudi Arabia 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.
