If you’re trying to keep up with U.S. tariff news, you’re not alone—and you’re not imagining things. Policy signals shift quickly, with new proposals, delayed timelines, and unclear enforcement windows.
At Everglory Logistics, we’re tracking these developments closely so our clients can make informed choices without guessing. Here’s what’s happening, what might be coming next, and how to prepare—primarily if your business relies on global supply chains.
What’s Going On With U.S. Tariff Policy?
Several key tariff announcements and proposals are moving across headlines, including:
- Tariffs on Chinese Goods: The 10% reciprocal tariff on China will remain in place until August 12, 2025. Other countries’ tariffs have been suspended until August 1, 2025.
- New Tariff Threats: President Trump has proposed:
- Uncertain Enforcement Dates: Some tariffs were set to begin as early as July 10, but were delayed—or quietly walked back—within days.
- Political Volatility: With the election season in perpetual motion, trade talk is constantly escalating. But as we’ve seen, proposed tariffs can shift overnight depending on the headlines or campaign moments.
Why This Matters to U.S. Importers
If you’re managing procurement, freight, or compliance, here’s how this tariff whiplash could affect you:
- Budget Planning Becomes Riskier: Sudden tariffs could make goods significantly more expensive, especially metals, electronics, and pharmaceuticals.
- Entry Timing is Critical: The day your goods enter U.S. commerce could determine if tariffs apply or not.
- Supplier Diversification Pays Off: These developments may reinforce that strategy if you’ve been reshoring or nearshoring.
- Classification Accuracy is Key: HTS codes and country-of-origin declarations will face increased scrutiny.
