What tariffs apply to EU imports into the US?
EU goods are subject to standard MFN duty rates. Steel products face a 25% Section 232 tariff and aluminum a 10% tariff with TRQ quota arrangements. A 20% IEEPA tariff was announced but is currently paused at 10% Section 122 baseline. No Section 301 tariffs apply to EU goods.
Is there a free trade agreement between the US and EU?
No. TTIP negotiations ended without agreement. EU goods enter the US at MFN rates with no preferential tariff reductions. USMCA applies only to Canada and Mexico.
Do EU steel imports face Section 232 tariffs?
Yes. EU steel is subject to the 25% Section 232 tariff and EU aluminum faces 10%. A Tariff Rate Quota (TRQ) allows limited volumes of EU steel and aluminum to enter at lower rates, with the full rate applying above the quota.
Are EU goods subject to Section 301 tariffs?
No. Section 301 tariffs apply exclusively to goods of Chinese origin. European Union goods are not subject to Section 301 and are assessed at standard MFN rates plus any applicable Section 232 surcharge.
What AD/CVD orders affect EU imports?
AD/CVD exposure on EU goods is limited but exists for specific products: certain steel pipe from Austria, Belgium and Germany, ripe olives from Spain, and products related to the Boeing-Airbus WTO dispute. Verify by HTS code in the ITA AD/CVD database before importing.
How do I calculate import duties from the EU to the US?
Enter the HTS code, product value, and select EU as the country of origin. The calculator applies the current MFN rate plus any Section 232 surcharge and returns the estimated total landed cost.
Can EU tariff rates change?
Yes. MFN rates can change through Congressional action. The IEEPA pause means rates on EU goods could change if trade negotiations stall. AD/CVD rates are reviewed annually. TRQ volumes and Section 232 rates are set by executive order.

The European Union is the United States’ largest trading partner by value, making accurate duty calculation essential for cost forecasting and compliance.
This makes accurate tariff calculation critical before shipping.
For active duty orders, consult the ITA AD/CVD database. Verify current rates and procedures at CBP.gov and check USTR’s EU trade page for policy updates before finalizing EU shipments.
Frequently asked questions
What costs does this calculator include?
The calculator covers the base MFN duty rate (HTS-based), Section 232 surcharges on steel and aluminum, and active AD/CVD rates where applicable. Customs value is calculated on a CIF basis. Merchandise Processing Fee (MPF) and Harbor Maintenance Fee (HMF) are not included but apply at entry.
Is the EU subject to Section 301 tariffs?
No. Section 301 tariffs apply exclusively to goods of Chinese origin. EU goods are not subject to Section 301. European imports are assessed at MFN rates plus any applicable Section 232 surcharges or AD/CVD duties.
What replaced IEEPA tariffs on EU imports?
The Supreme Court struck down IEEPA-based tariffs on Feb 20, 2026, in a 6-3 ruling. Section 122 of the Trade Act of 1974 now provides the authority for emergency global tariffs. CBP is currently collecting at 10% on EU imports under Section 122. The EU is also subject to Section 232 duties on steel (50%) and aluminum (50%). Verify active rates at CBP.gov before finalizing shipment costs.
Does the EU have a free trade agreement with the US?
No active US-EU FTA exists. TTIP negotiations stalled in 2016. EU goods enter the US at MFN rates. Section 232 steel and aluminum exemptions previously granted to the EU under quotas were subject to periodic renegotiation. No comprehensive FTA is currently in force.
Which EU goods face the highest US tariff exposure?
Steel and aluminum products are subject to Section 232 surcharges. Certain agricultural goods — cheeses, wines, olive oil — carry moderate MFN rates. Airbus-related retaliatory tariffs under the Boeing-Airbus dispute were suspended in 2021 but remain a risk. High-value machinery and chemicals typically carry low MFN rates of 0 to 3 percent.
How do I find my HTS code for this calculator?
Your HTS code is the 10-digit number that determines your base duty rate and tariff eligibility for goods imported from EU. Use the USITC HTS database to search by product description. The first 6 digits follow the international Harmonized System; digits 7-10 are US-specific. Enter the 10-digit code in Captain’s calculator to get MFN rates, Section 232 exposure, and active AD/CVD orders for EU goods.
What is Section 122 and how does it affect this calculator?
Section 122 of the Trade Act of 1974 authorizes the President to impose an emergency global tariff of up to 15% on imports for up to 150 days. After the Supreme Court struck down IEEPA tariffs on Feb 20, 2026, Section 122 became the operative authority for the 10% global emergency rate. CBP is currently collecting at 10% on most EU goods under Section 122. Captain includes this rate in all landed cost calculations for EU imports.
