Relevant HTS chapters: Chapter 76
The US aluminum tariff in 2026 is driven mainly by Section 232 — a national-security measure that sits on top of the normal HTS duty. It applies at roughly 50% on raw and semi-finished aluminum. The current structure took effect 2025-03.
Form and content matter: goods containing 15% or less aluminum by value are generally excluded from the Section 232 metal duty, while covered derivatives are charged on the aluminum content or full customs value depending on the current proclamation. This is why the calculator's Refine panel lets you set the product form — the same HTS chapter can carry very different effective rates.
Country of origin then layers on top: the same aluminum shipment can cost far more from a higher-tier origin or one subject to Section 301 than from a USMCA partner. Enter your origin and value in the calculator above to see the base duty, the aluminum measure and the country layer itemised — and confirm the final number with a customs broker before filing.
