Highest Tariff Product Categories
Highest Tariff Product Categories
Using the Imposed Tariff Rate by Product Set data (updated June 9, 2026), metals dominate the top of the rate chart. Aluminum articles average about 43%, articles of iron or steel about 43%, and iron/steel about 36%. Copper sits near 22%. Furniture is a consumer-facing standout near 16%.
Why Metals Lead
Industrial policy and trade remedies historically concentrate on steel and aluminum. That shows up clearly in weighted averages and in the long list of HTS-8 lines at or above 25%.
High Volume, Moderate Rate
Machinery and electrical equipment move hundreds of billions in imports at more moderate average rates — still enough dollars to matter. See machinery and electronics.
Low-Rate Contrasts
Pharmaceuticals, coffee/spices, and fertilizers show near-zero weighted averages in the same file. Duty is rarely the bottleneck there — freight, regulation, or commodity prices dominate. Compare pharma and coffee.
