“Reciprocal” tariffs ranging from 10% to 41% on imports into the US from dozens of countries have come into effect, as part of Donald Trump’s accelerating trade war.
The new rates – announced by the White House a week ago, just before a previous 1 August deadline was due to elapse – were in place as of a minute past midnight Washington time on Thursday.
Brazil is hit by a 10% “reciprocal” tariff, but an executive order signed last week imposed a 40% additional levy linked to the prosecution of the country’s former president Jair Bolsonaro – taking the total to 50%.
The White House has threatened an additional 25% tariff on imports from India, bringing its total tariffs up to 50%, in retaliation for the country’s purchase of oil from Russia. However, India has 21 days to respond to the potential tariffs before they go into effect.
The Guardian has a searchable table of the countries and the new tariff levels announced by the Trump administration. The White House has previously stated that goods from countries not listed would face a 10% tariff.
