Donald Trump's 'big, beautiful global trade tariffs' list for 99 countries as of 1 August 2025 - in order of descending severity from 50% down to 10%

 

Since the first days of the 47th US Presidency Donald J. Trump has been publicly ruminating, boasting, threatening, proclaiming and then reversing his previously announced tariff regimes via the White House News & elsewhere.

Therefore the following list must be treated with caution, as like all other matters relating to US policy in 2025 it is subject to the vagaries of Trump's temper as well as his perverse reasoning.

Some or all of the percentages set out below may suddenly change via Donald Trump's own social media posts or formal presidential executive orders. Changes will be updated when confirmed.

Sources: The Guardian/ABC News//The White House.

Notes:

All listed rates exclude product-specific tariffs, such as steel, aluminium & copper carrying 50% tariffs and foreign cars & auto parts subject to 25% tariffs when imported into USA.

Brazil's 50% tariff includes an additional 40% rate linked to prosecution for alleged corruption & fomenting insurrection of former president Jair Bolsonaro. However, tariffs on aircraft, energy & orange juice will be lower.

Trump's own statements suggest that baseline tariffs now applied to Canada are in part a result of its government having recognised Palestinian statehood & effective as of 1 August, while most other nations tariffs commence from 6-7 August 2025.

China's total tariff rate has been in place since 14 May 2025, with some exceptions. The mooted higher rate of 145% & its timing appears to subject to Trump's whim.

Mexico's new baseline tariff excludes higher tariffs on certain goods.

The European Union (EU) baseline tariffs range appears to be on a sliding scale depending on goods being imported into USA. The EU is composed of 27 nations spread across Europe from Ireland through to Scandinavian, Baltic, South-eastern Europe and Mediterranean regions.
