US Tariffs on Preparations of Cereals, Flour from India — 10% (2026)

Among US trading partners for preparations of cereals, flour, India plays a notable role, with approximately $130B in total bilateral trade.

As of March 2026, preparations of cereals, flour imports from India face a base tariff rate of 10% under Section 122 of the Trade Act of 1974. This rate replaced the previous IEEPA reciprocal tariff following the Supreme Court's 6-3 ruling in V.O.S. Selections Inc. v. United States on February 20, 2026.

Under the Trade Act of 1974, Section 122 tariffs are limited to 150 days. The current 10% rate expires around July 24, 2026. Congressional action would be required to extend these tariffs beyond that date.

Preparations of Cereals, Flour (HTS Chapter 19) carry an average MFN duty rate of 5.2% in addition to the Section 122 tariff. No additional Section 232 or Section 301 surcharges apply to most products in this category from India.

Key products in HTS Chapter 19 imported from India include Pasta, Bread, Pastries and cakes, Breakfast cereals, Biscuits and cookies, and Pizza dough.
