Charts show where tariffs stand now: See percentages, which countries are hit hardest
The U.S. economy has been riding a financial roller coaster driven by President Donald Trump's trade war and his April 2 announcement of tariffs on imports to all U.S. trading partners. Trump announced he was pausing some tariffs and increasing those targeting China a week later, driving stocks upward temporarily before they tumbled again as the White House confirmed 145% tariffs would be placed on goods from China.
The charts and maps below show the state of tariffs and what they looked like before Trump's reversal:
Where do tariffs stand now?
Though Trump announced a pause for many the tariffs he introduced on April 9, the White House confirmed with Paste BN that many still remain in effect, including:
- 20% tariffs previously imposed on China, now totaling 145% with latest announcements.
- A baseline tariff of 10% that took effect April 5 for trading partners targeted in Trump's announcement April 2. Canada, Mexico, Russia, North Korea and others do not have a baseline tariff.
- Section 232 tariffs on steel, aluminum and autos remain unchanged.
- Sectoral carve-outs in the reciprocal/baseline tariffs as outlined in the initial executive order remain unchanged.
- The EU tariff remains at the 10% baseline that took effect April 5. An additional 20% tariff on EU is paused.
- Fentanyl tariffs on Canada and Mexico remain unchanged – USMCA trade is tariff-free, non-USMCA trade is tariffed at 25% (except for energy and potash, which is tariffed at 10%).
- The baseline 10% did not take effect on Canada and Mexico on April 5, and neither country is getting the 10% baseline now.
- A tariff on countries importing Venezuelan oil remains in effect.
Later on April 11, updated guidance from the U.S. Customs and Border Protection carved-out an exemption for smartphones, computers and other electronic imports including hard drives, memory chips, flat-panel television screens and semiconductors.
