Customs duty from Ukraine to United States: Import Duty Guide

Key Takeaways

• Ukraine has no free trade agreement with the US.
• Ukraine’s average US tariff rate was reported around 8.4% in 2025 and roughly 10.7% in early 2026 under the short-lived Section 122 mechanism, but its specific placement in the July 2026 Section 301 forced-labor program isn’t confirmed in public sources - a genuine, flagged data gap rather than an estimate.
• This is by far the smallest lane this site tracks - US imports from Ukraine were just $1.44 billion in 2025, roughly 0.2% of the Mexico or Canada figures.
• Unusually, the US ran a trade surplus with Ukraine in 2025 ($934.8 million), rather than the deficit typical of most other lanes.
• Ukraine’s trade relationship with the US sits within a distinct wartime context, including 2025 minerals and reconstruction agreements not present on any other lane this site covers.

Ukraine-US Trade at a Glance

Ukraine is by far the smallest lane this site tracks for US imports - just $1.44 billion in 2025, a small fraction of even the next-smallest lane (the UK, at $64.78 billion). Unusually, the US ran a trade surplus with Ukraine of $934.8 million in 2025 (US exports of $2.38 billion against $1.44 billion in imports) - the opposite pattern from most other lanes this site tracks. Ukrainian exports to the US grew 40.3% year-on-year and US exports to Ukraine grew 22.3% (US Census Bureau; confirmed against USTR’s Ukraine country page).

Is There a Trade Deal Between Ukraine and the US?

No formal free trade agreement. Ukraine’s trade relationship with the US in 2025-2026 sits within a distinct wartime context, including minerals and reconstruction agreements signed in 2025 - a relationship shape genuinely different from any other lane this site covers, though these agreements aren’t a tariff-preference trade deal in the way USMCA or KORUS are.

What Tariffs Apply Right Now (This Lane Has a Genuine Data Gap)

Ukraine’s average US tariff rate was reported at roughly 8.4% in 2025 (up from a historical average of just 1.3-1.8% between 2002 and 2024) and around 10.7% in early 2026 under the short-lived Section 122 mechanism (USAFacts). What this site could not confirm is Ukraine’s specific placement in the July 2026 Section 301 forced-labor tariff program that’s currently in effect - Ukraine didn’t appear by name in the tier lists surfaced during research for this page. Given Ukraine’s unique wartime relationship with the US, it’s plausible the country has separate or exempted treatment, but that’s speculation, not a confirmed fact. This is a genuine, flagged data gap - check a live CBP or customs-broker tariff lookup directly, or USTR’s own Section 301 notice, before relying on a specific number for this lane.

How Much Will You Pay Importing from Ukraine to the US?

Based on the most recent confirmed figures, expect somewhere in the range of 8-11%, though this site cannot confirm the exact current rate under the tariff mechanism in effect right now. US valuation uses FOB, there’s no VAT (only state sales tax at checkout), no de minimis exemption at any value, and a Merchandise Processing Fee of roughly $8.06 on a typical informal entry.

Given the small scale of this lane and the confirmed data gap on its current rate, this site’s live calculator’s general-merchandise estimate should be treated as a placeholder only - verify against a current source before making any purchasing decision based on it.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does Ukraine have a free trade agreement with the US?

No formal FTA. Ukraine’s trade relationship with the US includes distinct wartime-context agreements (minerals and reconstruction deals from 2025), but these aren’t a tariff-preference trade agreement.

Why can’t this page confirm Ukraine’s exact current tariff rate?

Ukraine wasn’t named in the tier lists this site could verify for the July 2026 Section 301 forced-labor tariff program that’s currently in effect for most other countries - rather than guess, this page flags that as an open question to check against a live source.

Is Ukraine a large source of US imports?

No - it’s the smallest lane this site tracks by a wide margin, at just $1.44 billion in 2025, compared to hundreds of billions for lanes like Mexico, Canada, or China.

Does the US buy more from Ukraine than it sells?

No, the reverse - the US ran a $934.8 million trade surplus with Ukraine in 2025, exporting more than it imported, unusual among the lanes this site tracks.
