What is a tariff?
A tariff is a tax that a government places on goods imported from other countries. It’s usually charged as a percentage of the product’s value, and are often used to protect local industries by making imported goods more expensive, which encourages consumers to buy products made within their own country. Donald Trump wants to “re-shore manufacturing, and drive economic growth for the American people“. Tariffs can be good for domestic manufacturers and workers, because they reduce competition from cheaper foreign products, thus helping to protect jobs and support local businesses.
However, higher tariffs can also have negative effects. They often lead to higher prices for consumers, since companies pass the extra cost on to buyers. They can also hurt businesses that rely on imported materials or sell goods overseas, especially if other countries respond by imposing their own tariffs — something known as a trade war. Over time, this can slow economic growth and increase tension between trading partners.

FAQ — What to know about the new 2025 Trump Tariffs
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| What are the 2025 U.S. tariffs and when did they take effect? | In early 2025, the United States introduced a sweeping set of import tariffs under a new “reciprocal” trade policy. A universal 10% tariff on nearly all imported goods took effect on April 5, 2025. Shortly after, on April 9, higher country-specific tariffs were applied to dozens of nations deemed to have unfair trade practices – for example, imports from China now face a 34% duty, Japan 24%, India 26%, and the EU 20%. Source: POLITICO: Trump imposes 10 percent universal tariff, higher for top trade partners |
| How do these tariffs compare to previous U.S. trade policies? | The 2025 tariffs represent the highest U.S. tariff levels in over a century, with an average duty rate of approximately 22%—a dramatic increase from the 2.5% average seen in 2024. This marks a significant shift from recent U.S. trade policies, which have typically relied on low tariffs and targeted trade agreements. Instead, the 2025 tariff structure reverses decades of trade liberalization and places the U.S. in a more protectionist stance reminiscent of the Smoot–Hawley era. Source: AP News: What to know about the Trump tariffs upending global trade and markets |
| Which countries face the highest tariffs under this new regime? | A few countries are hit with exceptionally high rates under the 2025 tariff schedule. Smaller trade partners in Asia and Africa saw the steepest hikes – for instance, Cambodia faces a 49% U.S. tariff and Vietnam 46%. China, a primary target, is also among the highest: a new 34% tariff on Chinese goods (on top of previous tariffs, pushing the effective rate above 50%). Other notable examples include Sri Lanka (~44%), Laos (~48%), and Bangladesh (~37%), far above the 10% baseline applied to many other countries. Source: See table above for list of countries affected |
| What types of goods are exempt from the tariffs? | The tariff plan carved out exemptions for certain essential products. Goods deemed strategic or vital – including pharmaceuticals, semiconductors, and energy commodities like oil, natural gas, coal, and LNG – are not subject to the new import tariffs. Some raw materials (for example, copper) are also excluded. Additionally, items with significant U.S.-made content are only taxed on their non-U.S. components, and low-value consumer shipments under $800 (the de minimis threshold) continue to enter duty-free as before. Source: See section below for more details |
| How might these tariffs impact consumer prices in the U.S.? | Tariffs function as a tax on imports, and experts expect these duties to push consumer prices higher. When import costs rise by 10–25% (or more), U.S. companies often pass along at least part of that increase to shoppers. Everyday items—from electronics and appliances to clothing and food—could become more expensive due to the added import costs. Industries with complex global supply chains (like automobiles) may see production expenses climb as parts get taxed each time they cross borders, likely leading to pricier final products for consumers. In short, the new tariffs are anticipated to put upward pressure on inflation and make many imported goods costlier for U.S. households.

| Will other countries retaliate with their own tariffs? | Most likely, yes. Many U.S. trading partners have already signaled retaliatory measures in response to the 2025 tariffs. For example, Canada and Mexico announced they would maintain their own 25% tariffs on certain U.S. goods. The European Union quickly threatened counter-tariffs aimed at American products (potentially targeting agriculture and tech sectors), and China vowed to respond with new tariffs on U.S. exports. In general, the international reaction suggests that other countries will answer in kind, raising the risk of an escalating trade war. Source: Politico: World begins to respond to Trump tariffs, risking escalation |
| Why is the U.S. imposing these tariffs? | The official rationale is to protect U.S. industries and push other countries to remove what Washington sees as unfair trade barriers. President Trump argued that many nations have long charged high tariffs or used other barriers against American products, contributing to a large U.S. trade deficit. By imposing “reciprocal” tariffs, the U.S. aims to level the playing field – essentially matching other countries’ tariffs – and to encourage companies to manufacture more in the United States. In essence, the policy is presented as a way to rebalance trade in America’s favor and revitalize domestic manufacturing, even if it means short-term pain for some consumers.

| How can businesses and consumers adapt to the new tariffs? | Businesses are adopting various strategies to mitigate the impact of the new U.S. tariffs. Swiss engineering firm ABB, for instance, plans to pass increased costs from the tariffs onto customers and is enhancing local production, with 75-80% of its U.S. market manufacturing already domestic. Similarly, Japanese beverage company Suntory is shifting towards local production and sales to circumvent tariffs, stockpiling products like tequila in anticipation of U.S. tariff hikes, and considering redirecting exports to other markets. These approaches highlight a broader trend of companies localizing operations and adjusting supply chains to navigate the evolving trade landscape. Source: Reuters: ABB expects to pass on cost increases from new tariffs Reuters: Global drinks maker Suntory aims to sell local to avoid tariffs, president says |
| Why aren’t countries like Russia, North Korea, or others shown in the country table? | Some countries are missing from the tariff list because the U.S. already has minimal or no normal trade with them, largely due to sanctions. For example, Russia is absent from the 2025 tariff schedule – the White House noted that sanctions over the Ukraine war have “precluded any meaningful trade” between the U.S. and Russia, so adding tariffs on Russia was unnecessary. Likewise, heavily sanctioned nations such as North Korea, Cuba, and Belarus were left off the list since there’s virtually no regular U.S. trade with those countries. In short, the new tariffs focus on America’s active trading partners, and countries under comprehensive sanctions (with little to no trade) don’t appear in the table.
