Total Effective Rate

Organic Chemicals from Ireland represent an important segment of bilateral trade, with approximately $115B in total bilateral trade.

Following the Supreme Court's landmark February 20, 2026 decision striking down IEEPA tariffs, imports of organic chemicals from Ireland 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.

Organic Chemicals (HTS Chapter 29) carry an average MFN duty rate of 4.2% in addition to the Section 122 tariff. No additional Section 232 or Section 301 surcharges apply to most products in this category from Ireland.

Key products in HTS Chapter 29 imported from Ireland include Ethanol, Methanol, Citric acid, Acetic acid, Acetone, and Benzene.
