US Tariffs on Special Import Provisions (US-specific) from Germany — 10% (2026)

The United States imports substantial quantities of special import provisions (us-specific) from Germany, with approximately $252B in total bilateral trade.

As of March 2026, special import provisions (us-specific) imports from Germany 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.

Special Import Provisions (US-specific) (HTS Chapter 99) generally enter duty-free at the MFN level, with the Section 122 tariff as the primary duty. No additional Section 232 or Section 301 surcharges apply to most products in this category from Germany.

Key products in HTS Chapter 99 imported from Germany include Section 232 steel/aluminum tariff items, Section 301 China tariff items, Section 201 safeguard items, Anti-dumping duty items, Countervailing duty items, and related items.
