U.S. imports of advanced materials (Hi-Tech 07) totaled $609.3M in April 2026, traded with 61 countries.
Importers of Advanced Materials paid $45.9M in duties in April 2026 — an effective duty rate of 16% on $279.2M in dutiable value, based on actual customs collections rather than the published tariff schedule. Advanced Materials imports of $609.3M in April 2026 ran 14% above the year-to-date monthly average of $534.9M.
Last updated: April 2026 dataAdvanced materials — including engineered composites, technical ceramics, specialty alloys, nanomaterials, and high-performance polymers — serve as enabling inputs across defense, aerospace, semiconductor fabrication, and energy storage industries. Certain advanced material imports, particularly specialty steel and aluminum alloys, are subject to Section 232 tariffs, while others sourced from China face Section 301 measures, creating a layered duty environment that requires careful pre-import planning. The dual-use nature of some advanced materials also means exporters and importers should verify whether BIS export control classifications affect downstream re-export or end-use commitments.

Section 232 tariffs apply to many steel- and aluminum-based advanced materials, while Section 301 tariffs affect a broad range of advanced materials of Chinese origin. Antidumping and countervailing duty orders also cover specific advanced material products — such as certain carbon and alloy steel products — so importers should run an AD/CVD scope check in addition to Section 232 and 301 analysis.
Some advanced materials — particularly specialty composites and high-purity metals — are subject to BIS Export Administration Regulations for re-export and may also be subject to ITAR if incorporated into defense articles. Importers should confirm end-use and end-user commitments before entry, as misrepresentation can trigger both customs and export-control penalties.
