> As of July 2026 — About 84 percent of Mexican goods exports to the United States enter duty-free because they meet the rules of origin of the USMCA free-trade agreement; non-USMCA-compliant goods carried a 25 percent "fentanyl tariff" from March 2025, based on the IEEPA emergency statute.

As of July 2026 — About 84 percent of Mexican goods exports to the United States enter duty-free because they meet the rules of origin of the USMCA free-trade agreement; non-USMCA-compliant goods carried a 25 percent "fentanyl tariff" from March 2025, based on the IEEPA emergency statute. The US Supreme Court ruling of 20 February 2026 (Learning Resources, Inc. v. Trump) removed the IEEPA basis: the fentanyl tariff expired on 24 February 2026 and was replaced by a temporary 10 percent Section 122 surcharge (an increase to the statutory maximum of 15 percent announced for 22 February 2026 was never implemented by legal order, so the operative rate remains 10 percent) — from which USMCA-compliant goods from Mexico are exempt and which expires around 24 July 2026 in any case (the US Court of International Trade held it unlawful on 7 May 2026, the Court of Appeals CAFC stayed enforcement on 12 May 2026, collection continues). The Section 232 sector tariffs remain in force: steel, aluminum and copper at 50 percent each, passenger cars at 25 percent (for USMCA vehicles only on the non-US value content), softwood lumber at 10 percent. Mexico is by far the most important US trading partner; President Claudia Sheinbaum negotiated several deadline extensions in 2025. On 1 July 2026 the first scheduled USMCA review began (Article 34.7), deciding on extension through 2042 and stricter automotive rules of origin. Not to be confused with the Trump tariffs on Canada; related: Section 232, fentanyl tariffs, reciprocal tariffs, USMCA, tariff stacking.
