Current Status

After the Supreme Court struck down IEEPA-based tariffs on Feb 20, 2026, the administration imposed a new 10% global tariff under Section 122 of the Trade Act of 1974. Key features:

  • 10% baseline tariff on most imports under Section 122 (expires July 23, 2026).
  • China: ~35% total (10% Section 122 + 25% Section 301).
  • Bilateral deals: EU, Japan, South Korea, Taiwan at 15%; India at 18%.
  • Steel/Aluminum: 50% globally (Section 232). Autos: 25% baseline with deal carve-outs.
  • USMCA-compliant Canada/Mexico goods largely exempt.

The average effective US tariff rate is ~13.7% (Feb 2026), down from a peak of ~27% in April 2025. Before Trump, it was ~2.5%.
