As you may be aware, the U.S. government intends to implement new reciprocal tariffs starting April 2, 2025. The affected goods span key industries such as automotive, electronics, agriculture, and consumer products. If you import from the impacted regions, these changes could affect costs, supply chain planning, and compliance requirements. Understanding these adjustments now will help you prepare for potential disruptions and cost increases.

Reciprocal tariffs and calculations:

The tariffs are slated to apply to goods imported from countries such as China, India, Mexico, Germany, Brazil, South Korea, Japan, France, Canada, Italy, Taiwan, the United Kingdom, Thailand, Vietnam, and Singapore.

The U.S. Treasury Secretary has stated that each impacted country will be assigned a single tariff rate based on its trade practices. This rate will account for not only existing tariff levels but also non-tariff barriers such as taxes, currency policies, and labor standards. The exact rates have not been fully disclosed, but they will play a key role in determining the duties imposed on imports from these countries. Businesses should monitor updates closely to understand how these tariffs will affect their specific goods.

Tariff stacking:

Secretary Bessent has not clarified whether tariff stacking - where multiple tariffs could be applied to the same goods, effectively increasing the duty rate- would apply in these scenarios. If that ends up happening, this could significantly increase duty rates on certain imports by layering reciprocal tariffs on top of existing trade restrictions. It remains unclear how these tariffs will interact with current U.S. duties.

Estimated tariff rates:

While final tariff rates are not yet confirmed, we have estimated potential reciprocal tariffs based on current trade data:

  • China: 3.1%
  • India: 11.5%
  • Germany & France: 2.8%–3%
  • Mexico: 6%
  • Brazil & South Korea: 7%–10%
  • Japan & the UK: 2.5%

These figures represent trade-weighted averages and may vary depending on specific trade policies.

Next steps and support: These tariff policies are still being finalized, and updates from U.S. Customs and other trade authorities may impact the final details. We encourage you to stay informed and review any new developments that could affect your supply chain.
