Total Effective Rate

Among US trading partners for miscellaneous manufactured articles, Taiwan plays a notable role, with approximately $114B in total bilateral trade.

Following the Supreme Court's landmark February 20, 2026 decision striking down IEEPA tariffs, imports of miscellaneous manufactured articles from Taiwan 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.

Miscellaneous Manufactured Articles (HTS Chapter 96) carry an average MFN duty rate of 5% in addition to the Section 122 tariff. No additional Section 232 or Section 301 surcharges apply to most products in this category from Taiwan.

Key products in HTS Chapter 96 imported from Taiwan include Ballpoint pens, Lighters, Brooms and brushes, Buttons, Combs, and Baby carriages.
