The 2026 Economic Report of the President describes an ‘America First Trade Policy’ that materially alters U.S. import conditions. Actions include a global tariff regime with baseline 15% tariffs on many partner countries, new reciprocal trade agreements that change partner tariff treatment, expanded Section 232 use on core industrial imports, and full elimination of the de minimis $800 exemption, already yielding over $1 billion in new duties. Importers must reassess landed costs, HTS/valuation strategies, and supply chains, and ensure proper entry processing now that low‑value shipments are fully dutiable and subject to enforcement.

A new presidential Proclamation revises how Section 232 tariffs apply to imported steel, aluminum, and copper products by setting flat ad valorem rates based on metal content and product type. Articles made entirely or almost entirely of these metals now face 50% tariffs, derivative articles 25%, certain industrial and grid equipment 15% through 2027, and products made abroad from 100% U.S. metal 10%, while items with ≤15% metal content are exempt. Importers must reassess classifications, metal content, and origin of materials to apply the correct Section 232 rate and adjust pricing, sourcing, and entry procedures accordingly.

The White House announced Section 232 tariffs on patented pharmaceutical products and their ingredients, imposing a default 100% tariff on many U.S. imports, with reduced rates for specified trade-deal countries and companies entering onshoring and MFN pricing agreements. Generic drugs, biosimilars, and certain specialty products are exempt for now. Tariffs take effect in 120 days for large companies and 180 days for smaller companies, requiring importers to reassess sourcing, pricing, and customs declarations.

The proclamation sharply restructures and increases Section 232 tariffs on aluminum, steel, copper, and a wide range of derivative products, applying ad valorem duties to the full customs value and embedding new Chapter 99 headings (9903.82.xx). Many core metal HTS headings now face a 50% additional duty, while specified copper and derivative articles face 25%, with temporary reduced formulas for certain derivatives through December 31, 2027. It also removes some products from scope, creates origin‑based reduced rates (U.S./UK), maintains 200% duties on Russian aluminum, and terminates prior inclusion processes. Importers must immediately re‑map HTS classifications to the new Annex lists and Chapter 99 provisions, adjust landed cost models, and update broker instructions before April 6, 2026.

A presidential Section 232 action establishes new Chapter 99 HTSUS provisions (9903.04.60–9903.04.69) imposing up to 100% ad valorem duties on patented pharmaceuticals and associated ingredients classified in specified HTSUS headings. Duty rates vary by product type, origin, and company status (onshoring/MFN agreements), with key effective dates of July 31, 2026 and September 29, 2026, and later changes in 2029 and 2030. Importers and brokers must map products to the new HTSUS notes and Chapter 99 numbers, determine patented vs generic status, confirm company eligibility for reduced/zero rates, and update systems and sourcing strategies accordingly.

The White House release and the 2026 Trade Policy Agenda describe an ongoing, systemic shift toward higher and more targeted tariffs on U.S. imports, especially under Section 232, Section 301, and the new Agreement on Reciprocal Trade (ART) program. Key sectors include metals, autos and parts, semiconductors, pharmaceuticals, critical minerals, and various industrial goods, with continued use and potential expansion of supplemental tariffs above MFN rates. Importers must expect sustained elevated duty exposure, potential new measures (including a plurilateral critical minerals regime), and intensified enforcement against duty evasion and forced labor, and should review supply chains, HTS classifications, and pricing now.

The U.S.–UK Arrangement on Pharmaceutical Pricing includes explicit U.S. commitments not to impose additional Section 232 or Section 301 tariffs on UK-origin pharmaceuticals and medical technologies entering the United States for defined periods through January 19, 2029, contingent on UK company participation in related MFN and tariff agreements. While most provisions address UK domestic pricing and supply-chain cooperation, the U.S. tariff commitments directly affect duty exposure for U.S. importers of UK drugs and medical technologies. Importers should confirm origin, monitor for any change/termination of the arrangement, and ensure brokers do not apply Section 232/301 Chapter 99 provisions to qualifying UK-origin products during the covered period.

USTR issued a notice establishing 2026 tariff-rate quota (TRQ) quantities for Australian-origin goods under the U.S.-Australia FTA. It sets specific volume caps for beef safeguards (71,695 MT) and for HTSUS 9822.04.05, .10, .15, .20, .25, .30, .35, .40, .45, .50, and .65 (e.g., 25,497,000 liters under 9822.04.05; 2,790 MT under 9822.04.10). Within these TRQ limits, qualifying imports receive preferential FTA duty rates; above-quota volumes face higher MFN/safeguard duties. The quantities apply to entries from January 1 through December 31, 2026. Importers and brokers must monitor TRQ usage, ensure correct HTSUS and FTA claims, and plan 2026 volumes to stay within in-quota limits where preferential duty is expected.

The U.S.–Indonesia Agreement on Reciprocal Trade revises U.S. reciprocal tariffs on Indonesian-origin goods, limiting additional ad valorem duties under Executive Order 14257 to a maximum of 19% and eliminating those add-ons entirely or reducing them to zero for specified Indonesian products in Schedules 2A and 2B.

Importers of Indonesian goods must review HTS coverage under Schedules 2A/2B, confirm combined MFN+reciprocal rates, and prepare to use the forthcoming textile mechanism once implemented.

Following a Supreme Court decision limiting use of IEEPA tariffs, the Administration will immediately impose a temporary 10% surcharge on articles imported into the United States under Section 122 of the Trade Act of 1974. It will also launch broad new and continue existing Section 301 investigations that may result in additional tariffs, while maintaining current Section 232 and Section 301 tariffs (7.5%–100%) that already cover about 30% of U.S. imports. Importers must prepare for across‑the‑board duty increases, monitor forthcoming implementing notices, and adjust classification, costing, and sourcing strategies accordingly.

The President has imposed a temporary 10% ad valorem duty on most articles imported into the United States under section 122 of the Trade Act of 1974, effective February 24, 2026 at 12:01 a.m. EST for 150 days. Numerous categories are excluded, including certain critical minerals, energy products, specified agricultural goods, pharmaceuticals, certain vehicles and aerospace products, and USMCA‑compliant goods from Canada and Mexico, among others. Duty‑free de minimis treatment remains suspended, so low‑value shipments are also subject to the 10% duty. Importers and brokers must immediately assess scope, update HTS/tariff setups, and adjust landed cost and sourcing decisions.

The Executive Order terminates all additional ad valorem duties imposed under IEEPA by a series of 2025–2026 tariff-related Executive Orders targeting specific countries, trade deficits, and certain supply chains. Agencies must cease collection of these extra duties as soon as practicable and may modify the HTSUS via Federal Register notices to implement the change. Other duties (e.g., Section 232, Section 301), the de minimis suspension, and the temporary import surcharge remain in force, so importers must distinguish between IEEPA-based and other tariff measures.

Importers must identify qualifying Indonesian-origin goods, apply any new reciprocal rates, and prepare for a quota‑linked zero‑tariff textile mechanism. Compliance teams should review HTS classifications, origin documentation, and Chapter 99/EO references once implementing US regulations and tariff schedules are published.
