Total Effective Rate

The United States imports substantial quantities of photographic or cinematographic goods from Belgium, with approximately $50B in total bilateral trade.

The current tariff framework for photographic or cinematographic goods from Belgium 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.

Photographic or Cinematographic Goods (HTS Chapter 37) carry an average MFN duty rate of 3% in addition to the Section 122 tariff. No additional Section 232 or Section 301 surcharges apply to most products in this category from Belgium.

Key products in HTS Chapter 37 imported from Belgium include Photographic film, Instant print film, Photographic paper, Photographic chemicals, X-ray film, and Cinematographic film.
