10% Baseline Tariff

A universal 10% tariff will take effect on April 5, applying to all imported goods. Several countries will only be subject to this baseline tariff, including:

  • United Kingdom
  • Singapore
  • Brazil
  • Australia
  • New Zealand
  • Turkey
  • Colombia
  • Argentina
  • United Arab Emirates
  • Saudi Arabia

Specific Reciprocal Tariffs

In addition to the baseline tariff, the White House has announced “specific reciprocal tariffs” targeting approximately 60 nations. These tariffs will take effect on April 9.

 

The affected countries are:

  1. Vietnam: 46%
  2. China: 34%
  3. Taiwan: 32%
  4. South Africa: 31%
  5. Pakistan: 30%
  6. India: 27%
  7. South Korea: 26%
  8. Japan: 24%
  9. European Union: 20%
  10. Israel: 17%

A complete list of countries is here.

China

A new 34% tariff will be added to existing duties, including the 20% tariff imposed over fentanyl. This brings the base tariff rate on Chinese imports to 54%.
 

Canada & Mexico

Canada and Mexico are exempt from the 10% baseline tariff, as they were already targeted under Trump’s previous trade policies. The US government had set a 25% tariff on all goods imported from these countries.

25% Tariffs on Car Imports

Additionally, Trump’s 25% tariff on foreign-made automobiles took effect on April 2 at 12:01 a.m. ET.
