What tariffs apply to South Korea imports into the US?
Most Korean goods qualify for duty-free or preferential rates under the KORUS FTA. Non-qualifying goods pay standard MFN rates. Section 232 tariffs apply to steel (with TRQ) and aluminum. A 25% IEEPA tariff was announced but is currently paused at 10% Section 122 baseline. No Section 301 tariffs apply.
What is KORUS and how does it affect Korea imports?
The US-Korea Free Trade Agreement (KORUS) entered into force March 2012. It eliminated or reduced duties on most goods traded between the US and Korea. Electronics, machinery, automotive parts, steel (subject to TRQ), and most consumer goods enter the US duty-free under KORUS when rules of origin requirements are met.
Does South Korea face Section 232 steel tariffs?
South Korea negotiated a Tariff Rate Quota (TRQ) arrangement for steel. Korean steel enters at 0% within the annual quota volume. The full 25% Section 232 tariff applies above the quota. Importers must track available quota by steel product category. Korean aluminum is subject to the standard 10% Section 232 tariff.
Are there AD/CVD orders affecting South Korea imports?
AD/CVD exposure on Korean goods is minimal compared to other Asian trading partners. Limited orders exist on select steel products. For most Korean product categories — electronics, vehicles, consumer goods, machinery — AD/CVD risk is very low. Verify by HTS code in the ITA database for specific products.
Do Korean electronic goods face import duties?
Under KORUS, most electronics from South Korea (televisions, semiconductors, smartphones, displays) enter the US at 0% duty. The US IT Agreement (ITA) also provides 0% duty on most information technology products regardless of origin. Combined, Korean electronics face minimal tariff exposure at the base MFN and KORUS levels.
How do I calculate import duties from South Korea to the US?
Enter the HTS code, product value, and select South Korea as the country of origin. The calculator checks KORUS coverage, applies the applicable preferential or MFN rate, and includes any Section 232 surcharge (with TRQ factored in for steel).
Can Korea import duties change?
KORUS is subject to ongoing review. IEEPA tariffs are currently paused but could change based on trade negotiations. Section 232 TRQ volumes are set annually by executive order. The US and Korea periodically engage in trade consultations that may affect specific product categories.

South Korea is the US’s fourth-largest goods trading partner and a key technology and manufacturing ally. KORUS FTA preferential rates apply to most goods, but Section 232 steel TRQ tracking and IEEPA exposure require attention.
KORUS qualification requires rules of origin compliance — verify that products meet the agreement’s tariff shift or regional value content requirements.
