The EU’s additional customs duties on US imports
We update this page with information about the additional customs duties imposed by the EU on US imports.
What is additional customs duty?
Additional customs duty is a duty added on top of the general customs duty.
When will the EU’s additional customs duties enter into force and on what goods?
In spring 2025, the EU imposed additional customs duties on goods imported from the United States as a commercial rebalancing measure to the additional tariffs imposed by the United States that the EU considers to be in breach of the Agreement Establishing the World Trade Organization WTO.
However, the additional customs duties imposed by the EU have been suspended until 6 February 2026 (Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2025/1727).The duration of the suspension may change.
Additional customs duties have been imposed on many goods. Please note:
- The additional customs duties will enter into force at different times if the suspension of the rebalancing measures ends.
- The additional customs duties are only levied on goods that are mentioned in the regulation and that are subject to the so-called general rules of origin for goods originating in the United States. Read more about the general origin of goods.
On the page Anti-dumping and countervailing duties as well as safeguard duties, i.e. additional duties, there are links to the annexes to Commission regulations listing the commodity codes of the goods subject to additional customs duties as well as the rates (%) of the additional customs duties.
Can preferential treatment based on origin be obtained for goods imported from the United States?
Preferential treatment based on origin cannot be obtained for goods imported from the United States, because there are no preferential tariff agreements between the EU and the US. Read more about preferential treatment based on origin.
The EU’s general rules of origin are applied to imports of goods subject to additional customs duties. If you are exporting goods to the United States, please note that the United States has its own rules of origin concerning imports.
I am exporting goods to the United States. What should I take into account?
This year, the United States has introduced several new import duties.
Finnish Customs cannot provide any further information on import duties in the United States. Instead, it is always up to importers to contact the authorities of the country of destination for checking the amount of import duties on export products. You can check the applicable tariff rates with the United States’ authorities. You can find more information e.g. regarding specific commodity codes on the page Harmonized Tariff Schedule.
The new US tariff information has already been taken into account in the My Trade Assistant tool in the Access2Markets portal.
The EU has imposed an export prohibition on goods exported to the United States under commodity codes 7204 and 7602 (Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2025/1564). However, the export prohibition has been suspended until 6 February 2026.

I am a private individual and I am ordering products from the United States. How should I take the additional customs duties into account?
From 7 February 2026, you may have to pay an additional customs duty for the product if the value of the consignment is more than 150 euros. In that case, the additional duty is also paid on the transport costs. Just like with the normal customs duty, the amount of additional customs duty is also determined according to the date of acceptance of the customs declaration, not the date when the product was ordered.
You can check the products subject to additional customs duties on the page Anti-dumping and countervailing duties as well as safeguard duties, i.e. additional duties, in the annexes to Commission regulations listing the commodity codes of these products as well as the rates (%) of the additional customs duties. You can also contact the Customs Information Service for advice.
