These are the main measures:
Postponed entrance
President Donald Trump told journalists that the date of August 1 was firm, but the decree provides that the surcharges begin to be applied seven days after their publication, that is, on the 7th of that month.
This is to give customs time to organize, journalists informed journalists a high position from the White House.
An additional deadline for products loaded in ships before August 7 and arrives in the United States before October 5 is awarded.
New tariffs
Trump signed a decree on Thursday At night that lists the new surcharges applicable to dozens of countries around the world, after having imposed a generalized minimum of 10%, which adds to those existing before.
For many of them, including the heavyweights of world trade, tax will increase.
The minimum is 15% (Japan, South Korea and the European Union). In the case of that last block some sectors will be exempt.
The maximum surcharge, of 41%, will affect Syrian products. Switzerland steps on his heels with 39%.
Algeria is attached to 30%, Bangladés to 20%and the 40%.
In Latin America, Washington increased from 10% to 15% surcharges for Costa Rica, Bolivia and Ecuador and kept intact those planned in April for Venezuela (15%) and Nicaragua (18%).
Brazil
In the case of Brazil, Trump’s measures are openly political and cancel long -standing commercial ties.
The South American giant appears with 10%, although its imposition was delayed from August 1 to 6 and products such as orange juice and civil planes were exempt.
On Wednesday the Republican government announced that in the case of Brazil to this universal minimum tariff will add 40 percentage points (pp), which adds 50% due above all to the trial against former ultra -rightist president Jair Bolsonaro, accused of an attempt.
