Washington. Starting this Tuesday, the United States will implement a global tariff of 10% on imported products, despite President Donald Trump’s announcement of his intention to establish a worldwide rate of 15%, raising doubts about the country’s tariff policy. Following the Supreme Court’s decision to overturn part of Trump’s tariff policy, the president declared that he would set a fixed tariff of 10% for all trading partners through separate legislation. Trump shared a message on his platform, Truth Social, where he announced that he would raise the global tariff from 10% to 15%. The United States Customs and Border Protection issued a statement to importers indicating that the rate would begin at 10% and apply to all countries for a period of 150 days, unless they have a specific exemption. The Customs Office’s note details that all goods entering the United States will be subject to an additional 10% surcharge on importation, unless they have a specific exemption. Thus, it is established that the general tariff will start at 10%, although the administration is seeking to increase it to 15% through an additional order that Trump will need to sign, although a date for this has yet to be set.
The U.S. implements a new global tariff of 10% starting today, despite Trump’s announcement to raise it to 15%.
