US Imposes 25% Section 301 Tariff on Brazilian Granite Effective July 22, 2026
Natural Stone Granite →The U.S. Trade Representative issued a final Section 301 determination taking effect July 22, 2026, which applies an additional 25% tariff on Brazilian granite, marble, and slate entering the United States. Brazilian quartzite classified under HTSUS subheading 6802.99.00 was explicitly excluded from the new duty. Additionally, Brazil was placed in a 12.5% forced-labor tariff category, which may cumulatively increase duties on affected natural stone depending on U.S. Customs and Border Protection implementation guidance.

Audit open stone purchase orders and verify HTSUS classifications for Brazilian origin materials.
Clarifying whether incoming slabs are classified as granite (subject to the 25% duty) or quartzite (HTSUS 6802.99.00, exempt) will determine immediate duty exposure and price impact.
