10% Tariff on 17 Named Economies
This July 23, 2026 memorandum directs a 10 percent ad valorem tariff on all goods of Argentina, Bangladesh, Cambodia, Canada, Ecuador, El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras, India, Indonesia, Jordan, Malaysia, Mexico, Pakistan, Sri Lanka, the United Kingdom, and Trinidad and Tobago. The tariff applies to "all goods of the economy" for those named economies, subject to product exemptions listed in the Annex to the memorandum.
12.5% Tariff on Other Investigated Economies
For all other economies included in the investigations (i.e., the investigated economies not listed for the 10 percent rate or subject to MFN-net capping), the memorandum directs a 12.5 percent ad valorem tariff on goods of those economies. The memorandum describes this 12.5 percent duty as the applicable rate for "all other investigated economies."
MFN-Net Tariff Caps for Select Partners
For products of the European Union and Taiwan, the Trade Representative will set section 301 tariffs so that the sum of the MFN tariff plus the section 301 tariff equals 10 percent (if the product's MFN tariff is less than 10 percent) and will set a zero section 301 tariff if the MFN tariff is 10 percent or higher. For products of Japan, Korea, and Switzerland, the sum of MFN plus section 301 tariff will be 12.5 percent if the MFN tariff is less than 12.5 percent, and the section 301 tariff will be zero if the MFN tariff is 12.5 percent or higher.
Exemptions for Specific Products (Annex)
The memorandum directs exemptions from the tariffs for products listed in the Annex because they are (a) raw materials that could make domestic supply unavailable, (b) products that could cause economy-wide disruptions, (c) products not producible in sufficient quantity or price in the United States, (d) products for which tariffs would not be effective, or (e) certain products of specified economies that would encourage those economies to implement forced-labor prohibitions. The Trade Representative must modify the Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTSUS) as provided in the Annex.
Textile/ Apparel TRQs for Four Countries
The memorandum directs the Trade Representative to establish tariff-rate quotas (TRQs), when feasible, for Bangladesh, Cambodia, Indonesia, and Malaysia with an initial duration of 3 years to allow a certain volume of specific textile and apparel (and U.S. cotton-based goods) to enter the United States free of the section 301 tariffs. The memorandum states establishing these TRQs is not feasible immediately but should be feasible by September 1, 2026, and until the TRQs are established imports of the specified textile and apparel will face the applicable section 301 tariff (10 percent).

The U.S. government is stepping up its game to protect national security by tightening rules on aluminum imports. This means higher tariffs and stricter controls on aluminum coming into the country, especially from places that might threaten our security. These changes kick in soon and aim to support American aluminum makers while keeping our supply safe and strong.
2026-14991, Imposing Additional Duties To Offset Canadian Discrimination Against the Commerce of the United States With Respect to Alcoholic Beverages
Canada has unfairly blocked U.S. alcoholic drinks from being sold in most of its provinces since March 2025, hurting American businesses and workers. To fight back, the U.S. is adding extra taxes on certain Canadian imports to balance the playing field. These new duties kick in right away and aim to protect U.S. commerce from this unfair treatment.

2026-14992, Imposing Additional Duties To Offset Canadian Discrimination Against the Commerce of the United States With Respect to Dairy
The U.S. is slapping extra duties on Canadian dairy imports because Canada treats American dairy products unfairly compared to those from the EU. This change hits Canadian cheese imports and aims to level the playing field for U.S. dairy farmers by making Canada pay for its discrimination. These new duties kick in soon and could impact prices and sales on both sides of the border.
2026-14997, Imposing Additional Duties To Offset Canadian Discrimination Against the Commerce of the United States With Respect to Motor Vehicles
The U.S. is hitting back at Canada for unfairly charging extra taxes on American cars and car parts, making it harder for U.S. businesses to compete. Starting now, the U.S. will add extra duties on certain Canadian imports to balance the playing field and protect American jobs. This means more costs for some Canadian vehicles and a fairer deal for U.S. automakers and workers.
2026-15003, Securing America's Defense Supply Chains and Ensuring Domestic Acquisition of Critical Materials
Starting January 1, 2027, the U.S. military will tighten rules to buy critical materials only from American or allied sources, cutting out risky foreign suppliers. Defense contractors must now prove they’ve tried hard to get these materials domestically or from allies before asking for exceptions. This move boosts national security, strengthens supply chains, and keeps America’s defense gear top-notch and ready to roll.
