which tariffs are under ieepa
IEEPA tariffs right now are not a single “list of products,” but sets of extra duties the president has imposed by country and situation under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act.
Quick Scoop: Which tariffs are under IEEPA?
In 2025–26, “IEEPA tariffs” usually refers to three main buckets plus a newer “reciprocal tariff” regime:
- Additional duties on Canada (IEEPA duties)
- Extra 25% tariff on all Canadian goods , in addition to normal customs duties and other trade remedies.
* A lower **10% rate for Canadian “energy or energy resources”** , including: crude oil, natural gas, lease condensates, natural gas liquids, refined petroleum products, uranium, coal, biofuels, geothermal heat, hydropower, and certain critical minerals.
* These are framed as responding to drug‑related and border‑related emergencies at the northern border.
- Additional duties on Mexico (IEEPA duties)
- 25% extra tariff on all Mexican goods , again on top of any ordinary or special tariffs (like anti‑dumping, Section 232, etc.).
* Very limited exceptions (e.g., certain humanitarian donations or informational materials referenced in practice notes and guidance).
* Legally justified as addressing an emergency “at our southern border.”
- Additional duties on China (IEEPA duties)
- Across‑the‑board percentage surcharge (initially 10%, later adjusted) on all products of China (including Hong Kong) , in addition to normal rates and existing Section 301 tariffs.
* In practice, a Chinese import can stack:
* the basic MFN duty,
* Section 301 additional duty, and
* the IEEPA duty (e.g., another 10%).
* These duties are tied to emergency findings about China’s trade and security practices.
- IEEPA “reciprocal tariffs” by country (2025 executive orders)
Beyond country‑wide surcharges on Canada/Mexico/China, a separate executive order regime uses IEEPA to set reciprocal tariff rates by country, generally in the 10–41% band, applied on top of the normal column‑1 rate unless exempted.
Here are examples of countries and their adjusted reciprocal IEEPA tariff rates :
| Country / Territory | IEEPA reciprocal tariff rate |
|---|---|
| Brazil | 10% |
| United Kingdom | 10% |
| European Union (goods with normal duty >15%) | 0% |
| European Union (goods with normal duty <15%) | “15% minus normal duty” (a top‑up) |
| India | 25% |
| Kazakhstan | 25% |
| Tunisia | 25% |
| Laos | 40% |
| Myanmar (Burma) | 40% |
| Switzerland | 39% |
| Syria | 41% |
* Any country **not listed** in the annex defaults to **10%** reciprocal IEEPA tariff.
* If U.S. customs finds **transshipment to evade the order** , a **40% duty** applies instead of the scheduled reciprocal rate, plus penalties.
* There is a **transit/grandfathering carve‑out** for goods already loaded and en route during the transition window.
* CBP guidance also notes a **U.S.-origin content exemption** : at least 20% U.S. value is carved out from the reciprocal tariff base.
How to think about “which tariffs are under IEEPA?”
Put simply, IEEPA is the legal authority , not a specific tax line. The tariffs “under IEEPA” are whatever extra duty the president attaches to particular imports in an emergency declaration. In today’s context, that mainly means:
- Extra across‑the‑board surcharges on all goods from Mexico, Canada, and China , with special lower rates for certain Canadian energy.
- A country‑by‑country reciprocal tariff schedule for dozens of other nations, mostly in the 10–41% range, on top of the normal U.S. tariff schedule.
If you tell me which country and product you care about (e.g., “Mexican auto parts” or “Canadian crude oil”), I can walk through how the IEEPA layer stacks on top of normal tariffs and other trade remedies.
