Cement & Concrete Import Tariff Rates by Country (2026)

Effective tariff rates for cement & concrete range from 1.5% to 39% depending on the country of origin. The lowest-cost sourcing origins include Ukraine (1.5%), Serbia (1.5%), North Macedonia (1.5%). The highest tariff burden applies to imports from Brazil (39%), Angola (14%), Libya (14%). The average MFN base rate of 1.5% serves as the starting point, with surcharges and trade agreements creating the wide range of effective rates across 195 countries. The tariff authorities actually charged on this product from at least one origin are MFN duties, Section 301 tariffs, and forced-labor Section 301 tariffs.

Cement tariffs have limited impact as most US demand is served domestically; Section 122 lapsed to 0% on July 24, 2026, so it no longer applies to non-USMCA sources.
