Understanding the US tariffs

The Trump administration announced a suite of global tariffs on 5 April 2025, with Australian exports subject to a 10 per cent ‘baseline tariff’ which applies to over 180 countries.

Higher ‘reciprocal tariffs’ on almost 60 countries have been suspended for 90 days.

Please note that US tariffs and associated exemptions remain emerging, and the exact tariffs percentage is subject to continued fluctuation.
