Nickel from Finland Tariff: 15% (2026)

Effective Rate

The United States imports substantial quantities of nickel from Finland, with approximately $8B in total bilateral trade.

As of July 2026, nickel imports from Finland fall under the EU-US trade deal that took effect July 1, 2026: a 15% all-inclusive tariff ceiling. Nothing stacks on top — goods with MFN rates below 15% pay a total of 15%, and goods with MFN rates of 15% or higher pay MFN only. The 2026 path here: the Supreme Court struck down IEEPA tariffs on February 20 (Learning Resources v. Trump), a 10% Section 122 tariff applied from February 24, and the EU deal rate replaced it on July 1.

The July 24, 2026 Section 122 expiration — when the forced-labor tariff took over for non-EU imports — is largely moot for Finland: EU-origin goods moved onto the deal rate July 1, 2026. Watch September 1, 2026 instead — aircraft and aircraft parts, generics plus their ingredients and precursors, and unavailable natural resources from the EU go MFN-only that day.

Nickel (HTS Chapter 75) carry an average MFN duty rate of 1.5%, 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 Finland.

Key products in HTS Chapter 75 imported from Finland include Unwrought nickel, Nickel alloys, Nickel plates and sheets, Nickel wire, Nickel tubes, and Nickel powders.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the current tariff rate on nickel from Finland?

As of July 2026, nickel from Finland 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 nickel from Finland 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 nickel imports from Finland?

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.
