US replaces temporary tariffs with new Section 301 duties

New Section 301 additional duties apply by origin from 2026-07-24, replacing the temporary Section 122 10% surcharge that expired the same day. The 2025 IEEPA tariffs had already ended on 2026-02-24 after the Supreme Court ruling of 2026-02-20. Several partners have combined caps on MFN plus 301 duties; exemptions and Section 232 goods are handled separately.
