THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT AND THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION,

Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union, and in particular Article 207(2) thereof,

Having regard to the proposal from the European Commission,

After transmission of the draft legislative act to the national parliaments,

Acting in accordance with the ordinary legislative procedurePosition of the European Parliament of 16 June 2026 (not yet published in the Official Journal) and decision of the Council of 25 June 2026 . ,

The applicable customs duties of the Common Customs Tariff established by Regulation (EEC) No 2658/87 on imports into the Union of the goods classified under the Combined Nomenclature (CN) codes listed in Annex I to this Regulation and originating in the United States shall be 0 %.

The ad valorem component of the Common Customs Tariff shall not be applied to imports into the Union of the goods classified under the CN codes listed in Annex II to this Regulation and originating in the United States. The specific duty on those goods, that applies in a situation where the import price falls below the entry price, shall be maintained.

Position of the European Parliament of 16 June 2026 (not yet published in the Official Journal) and decision of the Council of 25 June 2026 .

(1) The Union and the United States of America (the United States) have the largest and deepest bilateral trade and investment relationship in the world and have highly integrated economies. The total two-way trade between them was worth more than EUR 1,6 trillion in 2024. That deep and comprehensive partnership is underpinned by significant mutual investments in each other’s markets, worth approximately EUR 5,3 trillion. Ensuring the continued integration of those economies, which underpins the broader partnership between the Union and the United States, is a strategic imperative, particularly at a time when Russia’s war of aggression against Ukraine threatens the Union’s essential security interests.

(2) The Union reiterates its unwavering commitment to a transparent, fair and rules-based multilateral trading system grounded in the principles of the World Trade Organization (WTO). In line with the Treaties, the Union remains devoted to advancing its values and interests on the global stage, particularly through the promotion of open and equitable trade and the reinforcement of international law. The WTO remains the cornerstone of the global trading order and the primary forum for developing, implementing and enforcing international trade rules. Close cooperation with like-minded partners is essential to upholding and strengthening that system, to safeguarding a predictable and rules-based global trading environment, to advancing necessary WTO reforms and to establishing a well-functioning dispute settlement mechanism.

(3) The Union remains committed to ensuring that the trade and investment relationship between the Union and the United States evolves in line with the principles of free and fair trade between the parties and in line with the WTO rules-based trading system without undermining other Union trade policy measures, including in the area of trade defence.

(4) In the course of 2025, the United States imposed a series of tariff measures affecting the Union. With effect from 12 March 2025 , the United States imposed additional tariffs of 25 % on imports of steel and aluminium and their derivative products. With effect from 3 April 2025 , the United States imposed an additional tariff of 25 % on imports of automobiles. With effect from 5 April 2025 , the United States imposed an additional tariff on all imports from all trading partners, with the possibility of exceptions. That additional tariff included a baseline tariff of 10 % on all imports. Depending on bilateral trade balances, that baseline tariff could be replaced by country-specific tariffs. For the Union, the announced country-specific tariff was 20 %. On 9 April 2025 , the United States announced a 90-day deferral of the imposition of the country-specific tariffs, maintaining the baseline tariff of 10 % in place for all partners. With effect from 3 May 2025 , the United States imposed an additional tariff of 25 % on imports of automobile parts. With effect from 4 June 2025 , the United States’ tariffs on imports of steel and aluminium and their derivative products were raised to 50 %. On 12 July 2025 , the President of the United States announced that the baseline tariff of 10 % on Union goods would be replaced with a country-specific tariff of 30 % with effect from 1 August 2025 . With effect from 1 August 2025 , the United States imposed additional tariffs of 50 % on imports of copper and its derivative products.

(5) In such a context, and with a view to establishing a stable framework for trade between the Union and the United States, the President of the Commission and the President of the United States reached a political agreement on 27 July 2025 (the political agreement of 27 July 2025 ), which was subsequently reflected in the Joint Statement on a European Union – United States Framework on an Agreement on Reciprocal, Fair and Balanced Trade of 21 August 2025 (the Joint Statement).

(6) In the Joint Statement, the United States committed to modifying certain tariffs applicable to imports from the Union to the United States, in line with the political agreement of 27 July 2025 , reducing the applicable rate to an all-inclusive tariff ceiling of 15 %. The United States also committed to applying only the Most Favoured Nation (MFN) tariff to certain Union products such as unavailable natural resources, including cork, all aircraft and aircraft parts, generic pharmaceuticals and their ingredients and chemical precursors. The Union and the United States committed to considering other sectors and products that are important for their economies and value chains for inclusion in the list of products for which only the MFN tariffs would apply.

(7) The Union and the United States intend the Joint Statement to be a first step in a process that can be further expanded over time to cover additional areas and continue to improve market access and increase their trade and investment relationship. The Union remains committed to continuing to engage in negotiations with the United States with a view to reaching a mutually beneficial agreement for other important sectors of its economy, such as the agri-food sector, as well the industrial goods sector.

(8) In the Joint Statement, the Union committed to eliminating customs duties on all United States industrial goods and to providing preferential market access for a wide range of United States seafood and agricultural goods, including tree nuts, dairy products, fresh and processed fruits and vegetables, processed foods, planting seeds, soybean oil, and pork and bison meat. The Union and the United States committed to negotiating rules of origin that would apply to those trade benefits.

(9) Therefore, the Union should adjust the customs duties on imports of certain goods and open tariff quotas for imports of certain goods originating in the United States, by adopting preferential tariff measures as referred to in Regulation (EU) No 952/2013 of the European Parliament and of the CouncilRegulation (EU) No 952/2013 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 9 October 2013 laying down the Union Customs Code (OJ L 269, 10.10.2013, p. 1 , ELI: http://data.europa.eu/eli/reg/2013/952/oj). .

(10) This Regulation does not prejudice the ability of the Union, in accordance with Union law, and in particular Regulation (EU) 2023/2675 of the European Parliament and of the CouncilRegulation (EU) 2023/2675 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 22 November 2023 on the protection of the Union and its Member States from economic coercion by third countries (OJ L, 2023/2675, 7.12.2023, ELI: http://data.europa.eu/eli/reg/2023/2675/oj). , also known as the Anti-Coercion Instrument, and Regulation (EU) No 654/2014 of the European Parliament and of the CouncilRegulation (EU) No 654/2014 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 15 May 2014 concerning the exercise of the Union’s rights for the application and enforcement of international trade rules and amending Council Regulation (EC) No 3286/94 laying down Community procedures in the field of the common commercial policy in order to ensure the exercise of the Community’s rights under international trade rules, in particular those established under the auspices of the World Trade Organization (OJ L 189, 27.6.2014, p. 50 , ELI: http://data.europa.eu/eli/reg/2014/654/oj). , also known as the Enforcement Regulation, and in accordance with international law, to apply measures in response to measures adopted by the United States.

(11) The main objective of the Joint Statement is to establish a clear framework for transatlantic trade that provides much-needed stability and predictability for Union exporters. Where actions by the United States threaten to undermine such stability and predictability, including by diverging or threatening to diverge from its commitments under the Joint Statement, for example if the United States fails, in the context of the expiry or replacement of the temporary import surcharge imposed by Proclamation of the President of the United States of 20 February 2026 on Union exports to the United States pursuant to Section 122 of the Trade Act of 1974, to address the Union’s concerns regarding the tariff treatment of those Union exports which, until 24 February 2026 , benefitted from the 15 % all-inclusive tariff ceiling or were exempted from additional tariffs, in accordance with the Joint Statement, the Commission should be empowered to suspend, in whole or in part, the Union’s commitments under the Joint Statement as implemented by this Regulation. Likewise, where the United States otherwise undermines the objectives of the Joint Statement, the Commission should be empowered to suspend, in whole or in part, the Union’s commitments under the Joint Statement as implemented by this Regulation.

(12) The Joint Statement does not provide for the application of the 15 % tariff ceiling to steel and aluminium; therefore the tariffs of 50 % imposed by the United States in 2025 remain in place. The Union and the United States have, however, expressed their intention, in the Joint Statement, to consider the possibility of cooperating on ring-fencing their respective domestic markets from steel and aluminium overcapacity, while ensuring secure supply chains between each other, including through tariff quota solutions.

(13) On 19 August 2025 , the United States Department of Commerce announced the addition of 407 product categories to the list of steel and aluminium derivative products covered by Section 232 sectoral tariffs. As a result, the steel and aluminium content of those additional products is subject to a tariff of 50 %. On 2 April 2026 , the list of steel and aluminium derivative products subject to those tariffs and the methodology of application of those tariffs were further amended.

(14) The imposition of those tariffs, together with the cumbersome administrative and customs requirements introduced following the political agreement of 27 July 2025 , have increased instability in trade between the Union and the United States and has led to serious economic consequences for the Union companies concerned and for their workers. Those tariffs also disproportionately affect the Union’s small and medium-sized enterprises and downstream industries, undermining their competitiveness in the United States market and leading to potential long-term loss of market share and to lasting damage to transatlantic industrial supply chains. The Union and the United States should therefore reach a swift and mutually beneficial conclusion to the ongoing negotiations aimed at resolving those tariff issues and restoring stable transatlantic trade relations. In that context, the Commission should be empowered to adopt an implementing act suspending the application of this Regulation in relation to the goods falling under chapters 72, 73 and 76 of the Combined Nomenclature as laid down in Council Regulation (EEC) No 2658/87Council Regulation (EEC) No 2658/87 of 23 July 1987 on the tariff and statistical nomenclature and on the Common Customs Tariff (OJ L 256, 7.9.1987, p. 1 , ELI: http://data.europa.eu/eli/reg/1987/2658/oj). , where, on 31 December 2026 , the United States continues to apply a tariff higher than 15 % on steel and aluminium derivative products imported from the Union to the United States.

(15) This Regulation grants the United States broad and exceptional tariff preferences and tariff quotas, which could potentially lead to increases in imports of the goods covered by those preferences and quotas, which could in turn have a significant impact on Union industry. A safeguard mechanism should therefore be established, with the aim of protecting Union industry, including in the agricultural sector, in the event that the tariff preferences and tariff quotas provided for in this Regulation would lead to such increases of imports of certain goods as to cause or threaten to cause serious injury to Union industry.

(16) In order to ensure uniform conditions for the implementation of this Regulation, implementing powers should be conferred on the Commission to suspend, in whole or in part, the application of the adjusted customs duties and of the tariff quotas provided for in this Regulation, in specific circumstances. Those powers should be exercised in accordance with Regulation (EU) No 182/2011 of the European Parliament and of the CouncilRegulation (EU) No 182/2011 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 16 February 2011 laying down the rules and general principles concerning mechanisms for control by Member States of the Commission’s exercise of implementing powers (OJ L 55, 28.2.2011, p. 13 , ELI: http://data.europa.eu/eli/reg/2011/182/oj). .

(17) The origin of goods should be determined in accordance with applicable Union law, in particular the rules on non-preferential origin as laid down in Title II, Chapter 2, Section 1 of Regulation (EU) No 952/2013, until rules on preferential origin as referred to in that Regulation have been adopted to implement the outcome of the negotiations on rules of origin referred to in the Joint Statement.

(18) This Regulation is not accompanied by an impact assessment and the potential economic impact of this Regulation is difficult to estimate prior to its adoption. The Commission should therefore monitor the economic effects in the Union of the adjustment of customs duties and the opening of tariff quotas provided for in this Regulation. The Commission should inform the European Parliament and the Council at regular intervals of the changes in trade volumes and values of imports into the Union of goods originating in the United States and covered by this Regulation. By 30 June 2029 , the Commission should present a comprehensive assessment of the effects of this Regulation, accompanied, where appropriate, by a legislative proposal to extend the period of application of this Regulation.

(19) Access to the Union market is conditional on compliance with applicable Union law.

(20) The European Parliament and the Council will be kept fully and regularly informed, in a timely manner, of relevant developments in the application of this Regulation, and will be duly consulted, as appropriate, in accordance with the Treaties.

(21) In view of the importance of avoiding disruption of the trade and investment relationship between the Union and the United States, this Regulation should enter into force on the day following that of its publication,

Tariff quotas of the Union shall be opened for imports into the Union of the goods classified under the CN codes listed in Annex III and originating in the United States.
