What changed in 2026

  • January 14: the Section 232 action on processed critical minerals, which include titanium, ordered negotiations with trading partners [8][9]. The tariff schedule lists no Section 232 duty on titanium [2].
  • February 20: the Supreme Court held that IEEPA does not authorize the President to impose tariffs [4]. The same day, Executive Order 14389 ended the IEEPA duties, including the “reciprocal” tariffs [5].
  • February 24 to July 23: a 10% temporary import surcharge under Section 122 applied [6]. Titanium mill products were exempt, and the surcharge has expired [2].
  • July 24: new Section 301 duties took effect on products of 60 economies [7]. Titanium subheadings 8108.20.00, 8108.30.00, 8108.90.30 and 8108.90.60 are exempt [2].
