Effective Rate

Netherlands is a significant source of vehicles (not railway) imports into the United States, with approximately $67B in total bilateral trade.

The current tariff framework for vehicles (not railway) from Netherlands reflects the EU-US trade deal effective July 1, 2026: a flat 15% all-inclusive ceiling with no stacking (MFN rates of 15%+ pay MFN only). It caps a volatile 18 months — IEEPA rates struck down by the Supreme Court on February 20, 2026, then a 10% Section 122 bridge from February 24, then the deal rate.

Unlike the Section 301 forced-labor tariff that replaced Section 122 for non-EU countries on July 24, 2026, the EU deal's 15% ceiling has no built-in sunset. The next scheduled change comes September 1, 2026, when aircraft and aircraft parts, generic pharmaceuticals plus their ingredients and precursors, and unavailable natural resources (such as cork) from the EU revert to MFN-only rates.

Vehicles (not Railway) (HTS Chapter 87) carry an average MFN duty rate of 2.5%, 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 Netherlands.

Key products in HTS Chapter 87 imported from Netherlands include Passenger cars, Pickup trucks, SUVs, Motorcycles, Bicycles, and Auto parts.

What is the current tariff rate on vehicles (not railway) from Netherlands?

As of July 2026, vehicles (not railway) from Netherlands 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 vehicles (not railway) from Netherlands 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 vehicles (not railway) imports from Netherlands?

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.
