Starting at midnight on April 5th, a new baseline tariff of 10% will apply to all goods imported into the United States from countries not part of the USMCA (United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement).
Goods from USMCA members—Mexico and Canada—will remain exempt, while non-compliant goods will continue to be charged the existing 25% tariff rate.
TARIFFS BEGIN FOR IMPORTERS ON SATURDAY
Importers will begin paying the new 10% tariff on Saturday, April 5, at 12:01 a.m. ET. This marks a significant shift in U.S. trade policy, designed to encourage sourcing from within the USMCA bloc or face higher costs.
“WORST OFFENDER” COUNTRIES TO FACE RECIPROCAL TARIFFS APRIL 9
A separate measure targets approximately 60 countries labeled by Trump officials as the “worst offenders.” These nations will face reciprocal tariffs equal to half the rate they charge the United States. This tariff tier will go into effect on April 9 at 12:01 a.m. ET.

SPECIAL PROVISIONS FOR USMCA PARTNERS
For Canada and Mexico, existing IEEPA orders related to fentanyl and migration remain in force. Under these provisions:
USMCA-compliant goods will continue to face a 0% tariff
Non-compliant goods will remain subject to a 25% tariff
Non-compliant energy and potash will be assessed a 10% tariff
Should the existing IEEPA orders be terminated, USMCA-compliant goods will retain preferential treatment, while non-compliant goods may become subject to a 12% reciprocal tariff.
MODIFICATION AND DURATION OF TARIFF MEASURES
The IEEPA order includes modification authority, permitting tariff rates to be increased in the event of retaliatory action by trade partners, or decreased if foreign governments undertake substantial steps to resolve non-reciprocal trade arrangements and demonstrate alignment with U.S. economic and national security objectives.
There is no set expiration for the tariffs. Measures will remain in place until it is determined that the threat posed by the trade deficit and associated policies has been adequately resolved or mitigated.
