Meanwhile, the impact of these tariffs on the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) imports forecast a ** percent decrease in imports from the United States to the Arab region. Middle East-United States trade relations The nature of trade relationships between the United States and the Middle East is often influenced by geopolitical and security realities, with Israel, UAE, and Saudi Arabia being the leading bilateral trading partners. A particularly strong trade relationship exists between the GCC countries and the United States, evident in the value of exports from the former to the latter. On the other hand, the value of exports from the broader Arab region to the United States fell considerably in the last decade, largely due to petroleum and oil revenue decrease.

The FTA Tariff Rates API provides data about each country with whom the United States has a Free Trade Agreement (FTA). When the U.S. enters into an FTA with a foreign government, it negotiates lower tariff rates with that government for a wide variety of products. A tariff is a tax that a company must pay a foreign country when shipping a product to that country. Typically the FTA tariffs rates decline over several years.

According to estimates, President Trump's proposals to impose universal tariffs as well as tariffs on Chinese, Canadian, and Mexican imports would considerably increase the average tariff rate. If Trump's proposals go into effect, it is estimated that the average tariff rate of all imports would almost triple, marking the highest rate in the United States since 1969.

In the wake of the Great Depression, many European economies adopted protectionist policies in order to boost their domestic industries and shield them from foreign competition. The most common way that countries do this is by placing restrictions and huge tariffs on foreign imports, therefore giving an advantage to producers in their home markets. Following the Wall Street Crash of 1929 and the global depression that followed, fifteen countries in Europe increased import tariffs by an average of 64 percent; with tariffs more than doubling in Germany, who had been struggling with the economic fallout of the First World War for more than a decade by this point. Tariffs in the agricultural sector also increased significantly, more than tripling in Germany and more than doubling in France and Italy.

The U.S. goods trade deficit with China increased by nearly ** billion U.S. dollars in 2024, as China still had the biggest impact on U.S. bilateral trade. This is according to seasonally adjusted trade date from within the United States. Following the results of the U.S. elections in 2024, discussions surfaced on the potential of tariffs for countries that have a large trade surplus with the United States. The president-elect stated that trade tariffs of ** percent and ** percent might be implemented for goods from China or Mexico, respectively. The effects of such measures on the forecast GDP growth across the world were not yet clear. In Europe, however, Germany might be the most affected economy when the U.S. does implement tariffs.
The Agricultural Tariff Tool is a web application that queries tariff schedules and rate information resulting from Free Trade Agreements (FTAs). All exporters/importers need to determine how competitive their product will be in a market. One of the key cost components is the import tariff that will be applied to a product by the importing country. The FAS Agricultural Tariff Tool will allow exporters/importers to quickly and easily determine the tariff rate that will be applied to their product by the importing country.
