Effective Rate

The United States imports substantial quantities of miscellaneous edible preparations from Ireland, with approximately $115B in total bilateral trade.

The current tariff framework for miscellaneous edible preparations from Ireland reflects the EU-US trade deal effective July 1, 2026: a flat 15% all-inclusive ceiling with no stacking (MFN rates of 15%+ pay MFN only). It caps a volatile 18 months — IEEPA rates struck down by the Supreme Court on February 20, 2026, then a 10% Section 122 bridge from February 24, then the deal rate.

Unlike the Section 301 forced-labor tariff that replaced Section 122 for non-EU countries on July 24, 2026, the EU deal's 15% ceiling has no built-in sunset. The next scheduled change comes September 1, 2026, when aircraft and aircraft parts, generic pharmaceuticals plus their ingredients and precursors, and unavailable natural resources (such as cork) from the EU revert to MFN-only rates.

Miscellaneous Edible Preparations (HTS Chapter 21) carry an average MFN duty rate of 5%, which is absorbed into — not added on top of — the EU deal's 15% all-inclusive ceiling. No additional Section 232 or Section 301 surcharges apply to most products in this category from Ireland.

Key products in HTS Chapter 21 imported from Ireland include Soy sauce, Ketchup, Ice cream, Soup preparations, Yeast, and Protein concentrates.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the current tariff rate on miscellaneous edible preparations from Ireland?

As of July 2026, miscellaneous edible preparations from Ireland fall under the EU-US trade deal's 15% all-inclusive ceiling (effective July 1, 2026). Nothing stacks on top — goods with MFN rates below 15% pay 15% total, and goods with MFN rates of 15% or higher pay MFN only. The effective rate is about 15% on the most-affected products.

Will the tariff on miscellaneous edible preparations from Ireland change?

Unlike the Section 301 forced-labor tariff on non-EU countries (which replaced the flat 10% Section 122 rate on July 24, 2026), the EU deal's 15% ceiling has no built-in expiration. The next scheduled change is September 1, 2026, when EU aircraft and aircraft parts, generic pharmaceuticals plus their ingredients and precursors, and unavailable natural resources revert to MFN-only rates.

How did 2026's tariff changes affect miscellaneous edible preparations imports from Ireland?

Three regimes in one year: the Supreme Court struck down IEEPA reciprocal tariffs on February 20, 2026; a 10% Section 122 tariff bridged February 24 through June 30; and the EU-US trade deal's 15% all-inclusive ceiling took effect July 1, 2026. In exchange, the EU eliminated its duties on US industrial goods the same day.
