Container ports in Austria
Austria is landlocked. Ocean cargo is trucked or railed to a seaport in a neighbouring country and loaded there; the routing follows the factory's location and the carrier, so ask for it when you request a quote. Air freight leaves from Austria directly.

U.S. duty treatment for goods from Austria
- Column 1 general rate. Set by the HTS classification of the goods, not by the freight. Austria has no free trade agreement with the United States, so the general rate applies.How FTA claims work.

- Section 232. Applies regardless of origin: steel, aluminium and copper on full customs value in 50%, 25% and 15% annex tiers since 2026-04-06, plus vehicles and parts, lumber and furniture, trucks, semiconductors and drones under their own proclamations.

- IEEPA and Section 122. The IEEPA tariffs ended on 2026-02-24 after the Supreme Court decision of 2026-02-20, with refunds ordered; the Section 122 surcharge that replaced them expired on 2026-07-24. Neither applies to entries filed now.
