US Tariff List for All Countries
As of April 6, 2025, the United States has implemented a comprehensive tariff policy affecting imports from nearly all countries. This policy, announced by President Donald Trump on April 2, 2025, and dubbed “Liberation Day,” includes a baseline tariff of 10% on all imports, with additional “reciprocal” tariffs applied to specific countries based on perceived trade imbalances or barriers. The reciprocal tariffs are designed to address the U.S.’s persistent trade deficit, which reached $1.2 trillion in 2024, and are calculated to penalize countries with large trade surpluses or high tariffs on U.S. goods. Below is an overview of the tariff structure, followed by details on specific rates where available.
General Tariff Structure
Baseline Tariff: A 10% tariff applies to all imports from every country, effective April 5, 2025. This applies universally unless superseded by higher reciprocal rates or specific exemptions.
Reciprocal Tariffs: Additional tariffs above the 10% baseline are imposed on approximately 60-180 countries (estimates vary by source), effective April 9, 2025. These rates are intended to reflect half of what the U.S. claims these countries “charge” the U.S., factoring in tariffs, non-tariff barriers, and trade surpluses. The exact formula appears to be the trade deficit divided by imports, halved, though this has been contested by trade experts.
Exemptions: Certain goods (e.g., copper, pharmaceuticals, semiconductors, lumber, energy products, and critical minerals unavailable in the U.S.) and existing trade agreements (e.g., USMCA-compliant goods from Canada and Mexico) may be exempt or subject to different rates.
Specific Tariff Rates by Country
The full list of tariffs for all countries is not explicitly detailed in a single, universally agreed-upon public document across all sources, as the White House has released varying versions, and some rates remain unclear or contested. However, based on available data from news reports and official statements, here are notable examples:
China: 34% reciprocal tariff, in addition to a pre-existing 20% tariff, totaling 54% (some sources suggest up to 60% with prior sector-specific tariffs like automobiles at 25%). China is the second-largest U.S. trading partner and faces the highest combined rate.
European Union (EU): 20% reciprocal tariff. The EU, treated as a single entity, has a $235.6 billion trade deficit with the U.S. in 2024.
Vietnam: 46% reciprocal tariff, reflecting its significant trade surplus and role as a conduit for Chinese goods.
Cambodia: 49% reciprocal tariff, one of the highest rates, targeting Southeast Asian economies.
Lesotho: 50% reciprocal tariff, the highest reported rate, despite its small trade volume with the U.S.
Laos: 48% reciprocal tariff.
South Korea: 25% reciprocal tariff, despite being a U.S. ally with a free-trade agreement.
Japan: 24% reciprocal tariff, higher than expected given its low average tariff of 2.4% on non-agricultural goods.
India: 26% reciprocal tariff, though some analyses suggest rates as high as 52% were considered based on trade barriers.
Taiwan: 32% reciprocal tariff.
Malaysia: 24% reciprocal tariff.
Sri Lanka: 44% reciprocal tariff, impacting a struggling economy.
Bangladesh: 37% reciprocal tariff, hitting its garment exports.
Pakistan: 30% reciprocal tariff.
Switzerland: 31% reciprocal tariff.
South Africa: 30% reciprocal tariff.
Algeria: 30% reciprocal tariff.
Israel: 17% reciprocal tariff.
United Kingdom: 10% baseline tariff only (no additional reciprocal tariff specified).
Australia: 10% baseline tariff only.
Brazil: 10% baseline tariff only.
Singapore: 10% baseline tariff only.
United Arab Emirates: 10% baseline tariff only.
Notable Exceptions and Special Cases
Canada and Mexico: Excluded from the new reciprocal tariff list due to prior tariffs imposed in February 2025 (25% on non-USMCA-compliant goods, 10% on energy and potash). USMCA-compliant goods remain at 0%. If prior orders lapse, a 12% reciprocal tariff would apply to non-USMCA goods.
Russia, North Korea, Cuba, Belarus: Not explicitly listed for new reciprocal tariffs due to existing sanctions or high tariffs precluding significant trade.
Countries Not Specifically Named: All other nations not listed with a reciprocal tariff above 10% are subject to the 10% baseline tariff, covering over 180 countries and territories in total.
Additional Context
Automobile Tariffs: A separate 25% tariff on all foreign-made automobiles and auto parts went into effect April 2, 2025, midnight ET, stacking with the above rates where applicable.
Implementation: The baseline 10% tariff began April 5, 2025, while reciprocal tariffs start April 9, 2025. Enforcement details remain fluid, with potential modifications if countries retaliate or negotiate.
Economic Impact: Economists estimate these tariffs could raise $3 trillion over a decade but may increase consumer prices and halve U.S. economic growth in 2025.
For a complete, authoritative list, the White House annexes or executive orders (e.g., from April 2, 2025) would be required, but these are not fully reproduced in public sources as of now. The above reflects the most consistent and detailed reporting available as of April 6, 2025. If you need further specifics on a particular country, additional research into White House releases or trade data might be necessary.
The U.S. tariff list under President Trump’s recent policy includes a baseline tariff of 10% on imports from nearly all countries. However, specific countries face higher reciprocal tariffs based on what the administration claims are tariffs imposed on U.S. goods by those countries.
Countries Exempt from Higher Tariffs:
Canada: Exempt from new tariffs due to existing agreements.
Mexico: Also exempt due to existing agreements.
The tariffs are part of a broader strategy to address perceived trade imbalances and to encourage other countries to reduce their tariffs on U.S. goods. However, there is significant debate over the accuracy of the tariff rates claimed by the Trump administration, with some studies suggesting that actual tariffs imposed by other countries are much lower than those cited.
