9 July 2025

What has been announced?

US tariffs

• The US has announced a further three-week suspension on the ‘reciprocal tariffs’, which were due to take effect against all countries from 9 July 2025, in an effort to grant additional time for countries to negotiate their trade deals with the US.
• The reciprocal tariffs are now due to take effect from 1 August 2025, with countries including Japan, South Korea and South Africa, likely to be subject to the higher tariff rates.  

When will the tariffs come into effect?

• The US ‘reciprocal’ tariffs on all countries will now come into effect on 1 August 2025.

7 July 2025

What has been announced?

US tariffs

• On 2 July 2025, the US announced a trade agreement had been reached with Vietnam, lowering the US ‘reciprocal tariff’ on Vietnamese imports into the US to 20 percent.
• The lower tariff represents a halving of the 46 percent tariff which was imposed against Vietnam as part of the US’s ‘liberation day’ tariff regime introduced on 2 April 2025.
• However, as part of the trade deal, the US and Vietnam agreed that the US would impose a 40 percent tariff on any ‘trans-shipping’ of Chinese products through Vietnam, to prevent any attempt on Chinese businesses avoiding the higher levies.

When will the tariffs come into effect?

• The lower tariff rate of 20 percent on Vietnamese products came into force immediately (i.e., 2 July 2025).
