Total Effective Rate

India is a significant source of wood imports into the United States, with approximately $130B in total bilateral trade.

Following the Supreme Court's landmark February 20, 2026 decision striking down IEEPA tariffs, imports of wood from India are now subject to a 10% tariff under Section 122 of the Trade Act of 1974, effective February 24, 2026.

This 10% rate has a built-in expiration: Section 122 limits presidential tariff authority to 150 days, meaning the tariff expires approximately July 24, 2026 without congressional renewal.

Products in this chapter may be subject to Section 232 tariffs of 50% on steel and aluminum items, which were doubled in June 2025 and remain unaffected by the SCOTUS ruling. When applicable, the combined rate reaches 60%.

Key products in HTS Chapter 44 imported from India include Lumber, Plywood, Particle board, Wood veneer, Wooden furniture parts, and Chopsticks.
