The US will install these country-specific tariffs Aug. 7

The U.S. plans to lift its pause on country-specific tariffs while implementing a range of new rates for specific trading partners on Aug. 7, per an executive order President Donald Trump signed Thursday.

The order lists rates for over 60 trading partners, ranging from 10% to 41%. The list includes levies for countries that match the rates included in a series of trade-related agreements Trump has announced over the last several months. The order also implements a 25% tariff on imports from India that Trump threatened earlier this week.

Tariffs on imports from Canada, Mexico and China will continue to incur separate duties, while goods from countries not listed in the order will face a baseline 10% levy.

In the order, Trump said while some countries have agreed to “meaningful trade and security commitments,” others have failed to offer sufficient terms or not engaged in negotiations during a monthslong pause of country-specific tariffs.

Imports will begin incurring the tariffs on Aug. 7. Goods that have been loaded onto vessels and/or are in transit to U.S. ports by the day the tariffs are implemented will not be subject to the duties as long as they are entered for consumption by Oct. 5.

However, if U.S. Customs and Border Protection finds goods were "transshipped to evade applicable duties,” the products will instead face a 40% tariff, as well as additional penalties and fees, per the order.
