The following countries have received letters, which were posted on Truth Social, announcing new tariff rates. The new rates are set to begin on Friday, Aug. 1, 2025. To qualify for the 10% reciprocal tariff currently in place, goods must arrive within port limits and be entered and released by Customs and Border Patrol (CBP) by the end of day on July 31. Shipments arriving on or after Aug. 1 will be subject to the tariff rate in effect at that time. The pause for China remains in effect until Aug. 11, 2025.
The White House has not yet published an executive order on its website, and CBP has not issued any formal trade notification.
The new tariff rates closely mirror those announced by President Trump on “Liberation Day” in early April, with only minor adjustments.
Please note: Trade policies remain fluid and are subject to change without notice. The details of recently announced trade measures may not be finalized until official government documents are released.
