Effective Rate

The 50% Section 232 rate applies to articles wholly of steel, aluminum, or copper (derivatives are 25%), on full customs value. The 10% Section 122 surcharge does not stack on the Section 232 metal content — it reaches only any non-metal portion — so a wholly-metal article’s effective rate is 50%, not 60%.

Importers sourcing vehicles (not railway) from Spain face specific tariff considerations, with approximately $27B in total bilateral trade.

As of mid-2026, vehicles (not railway) imports from Spain 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 Learning Resources v. Trump (with V.O.S. Selections) 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.

Products in this chapter may be subject to Section 232 metals tariffs. Since the April 6, 2026 restructuring these are two-tier: 50% on articles wholly of steel, aluminum, or copper and 25% on derivative articles, on the full customs value (doubled from 25% to 50% in June 2025). The 10% Section 122 surcharge does NOT stack on the Section 232 metal content, so a wholly-metal article runs about 50%, not 60%.
