Definition & Explanation

As of July 2026. The term fentanyl tariffs refers to the additional duties imposed from February 2025 by the second Trump administration under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (IEEPA), justified by a declared national emergency over fentanyl and drug trafficking and irregular migration. Documented rates: 25% on goods from Canada and Mexico (Canadian energy products reduced to 10%) and, for China, initially 10%, rising to 20% in March 2025. USMCA-originating goods from Canada and Mexico remained exempt (from 7 March 2025). As part of a trade détente, the China rate was cut from 20% to 10% in November 2025. In its ruling of 20 February 2026 (Learning Resources, Inc. v. Trump) the US Supreme Court held that IEEPA does not authorize the President to impose tariffs; all IEEPA tariffs — both fentanyl and reciprocal tariffs — expired on 24 February 2026 and were partly replaced by a Section 122 import surcharge (10% since 24 February 2026; an announced increase to the statutory maximum of 15% was never formally implemented; the U.S. Court of International Trade (CIT) held this surcharge unlawful on 7 May 2026, though collection continues pending appeal). Not to be confused with the still-active Section 232 tariffs (steel, aluminum, copper, autos) or Section 301 tariffs, which rest on a different legal basis.
