US Trade with Non EU 8-10-25

Several European countries are not members of the European Union, including Iceland, Norway, Switzerland, the United Kingdom, and several smaller states like Monaco, Andorra, and San Marino. Additionally, countries like Belarus, Russia, and Ukraine, while geographically European, are not EU members.  

Here's a more detailed list:

·       EFTA Countries: Iceland, Norway, Switzerland, and Liechtenstein. 

·       Western European Microstates: Monaco, Andorra, San Marino, and Vatican City. 

·       Balkan Countries: Turkey, Serbia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, North Macedonia, Albania, Kosovo, and Montenegro. 

·       Former Soviet Republics: Russia, Belarus, Ukraine, Moldova, Azerbaijan, Georgia, and Armenia. 

·       Other: The United Kingdom (officially left the EU in 2020). 

Many of these countries have unique relationships with the EU, such as membership in the European Economic Area (EEA) or participation in the Schengen Area, which allow for certain aspects of free movement and trade with the EU. Some, like the Balkan countries, are also actively pursuing EU membership. 

List of European countries who are not in the EU

European countries outside the European Union (EU)

Several European countries are not members of the EU for a variety of reasons, including by choice, due to ongoing accession processes, or because of political and institutional barriers. 

Here's a breakdown of European countries outside the EU based on their status:

·       Countries that have chosen not to join:

o   Norway, Iceland, Liechtenstein: These countries are members of the European Economic Area (EEA), which gives them access to the EU's single market while maintaining national autonomy. They also participate in the Schengen Agreement, allowing free movement of people across borders.

o   Switzerland: Not part of the EEA, Switzerland maintains a close relationship with the EU through a series of bilateral agreements. It has chosen to maintain its independence from the EU, with the population rejecting joining the EEA in a referendum.

o   United Kingdom: The UK officially exited the EU on January 31, 2020, following a 2016 referendum.

·       Microstates with special arrangements:

o   Andorra, Monaco, San Marino, Vatican City: These are small, independent states that have specific arrangements with the EU regarding trade and currency, but are not on a path toward full EU membership.

o   Liechtenstein: Like Norway and Iceland, Liechtenstein is in the EEA.

·       Countries in the accession process (EU Candidate Countries):

o   Albania, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Georgia, Moldova, Montenegro, North Macedonia, Serbia, Türkiye, Ukraine: These countries are at various stages of the application process and are working to align their national legislation and meet EU criteria for membership.

·       Countries with limited or no prospects of near-term EU membership:

o   Belarus: Its autocratic governance and human rights record pose significant barriers to EU membership.

o   Russia: Russia is considered a geopolitical adversary to the EU and is currently under sanctions.

o   Azerbaijan and Armenia: These countries have faced conflicts and political instability, impacting their prospects for joining the EU. 

Important Notes:

·       This list reflects the current situation as of mid-2025. The accession process can be lengthy and complex, and the status of candidate countries may change over time.

·       Some countries like Turkey have been official candidates for a long time, but their accession process has stalled due to issues such as human rights concerns.

·       While some non-EU countries like Norway, Iceland, and Liechtenstein are closely integrated with the EU through the EEA, they are not full members and retain their autonomy.

In 2025, the United States will continue to engage in trade with non-EU European countries, including the UK, Switzerland, and others, through various trade agreements and frameworks. While the EU and US have faced trade tensions, including tariffs on steel and aluminum, they are also working towards potential negotiated solutions and have paused countermeasures to allow for negotiations. 

Key aspects of US trade with non-EU European countries in 2025:

UK US Trade Deal: The US and UK have a framework agreement, with the UK continuing to pay a 10% baseline tariff but receiving alternative treatment for certain Section 232 tariffs. The deal includes provisions for steel and aluminum quotas, but implementation has been delayed. 

EU US Trade Tensions: The EU and US have experienced trade disputes, with the EU imposing countermeasures on US tariffs on steel and aluminum. However, the EU has paused these countermeasures to allow for negotiations. The US tariffs on the EU are currently on hold until August 1, 2025. 

Potential for Trade Diversion: The EU is closely monitoring the potential for trade diversion and diversification due to the new US trade policies. 

General Trade Agreements: The EU has numerous trade agreements with non-EU countries, offering preferential market access. The US also engages in trade with these countries, with the UK being a significant trading partner.

Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership (TTIP):  While not currently active, TTIP was a proposed trade agreement between the EU and US aimed at promoting trade and economic growth. 

US trade with non-EU countries in Europe (2025)

The United States has robust trade relationships with several non-EU countries in Europe, including the United Kingdom, Switzerland, Norway, and Turkey. These relationships involve significant flows of both goods and services. Here's a summary of recent trade figures and notable trends: 

United Kingdom (UK)

·       The UK is a crucial trading partner for the US, ranking as the largest export market and a significant import source.

·       Total goods trade between the US and the UK was estimated at $148.0 billion in 2024.

·       US goods exports to the UK reached $79.9 billion in 2024, representing a 7.6% increase from 2023.

·       US goods imports from the UK totaled $68.1 billion in 2024, up 6.0% from 2023.

·       The US recorded a goods trade surplus of $11.9 billion with the UK in 2024.

·       Services trade plays a dominant role, with services constituting a significant portion of both exports and imports between the two countries, according to Analyzify.

·       Key US exports to the UK include cars, medicinal and pharmaceutical products, mechanical power generators, scientific instruments, and aircraft.

·       Key US imports from the UK include crude oil, mechanical power generators, medicinal and pharmaceutical products, and refined oil.

·       Brexit's impact: Brexit has introduced complexities for US companies using the UK as a gateway to the EU market, requiring them to navigate separate regulations and potentially incur additional costs and delays for goods entering the EU through the UK. However, it may also present opportunities for some US businesses, particularly in financial services and manufacturing, to gain a competitive advantage. 

Switzerland

The US has a substantial trade relationship with Switzerland, with a goods trade deficit of $38.5 billion in 2024. Total goods trade between the two countries was estimated at $88.4 billion in 2024, with US exports at $25.0 billion and imports at $63.4 billion. Trade with Switzerland saw significant growth in the first five months of 2025. Key US exports included gold, articles with precious metals, and plasma, while key imports included articles with precious metals, medicines, and wristwatches. 

Norway

US trade with Norway is smaller than with the UK and Switzerland, with the US maintaining a goods trade deficit. In 2024, total goods trade was estimated at $11.2 billion, with US exports at $4.6 billion and imports at $6.6 billion. Key US imports from Norway include mineral fuels, fish, and pharmaceuticals, while key exports include machinery, aircraft, and medical apparatus. 

Turkey

In 2024, total goods trade between the US and Turkey was estimated at $32.0 billion, with the US having a goods trade deficit of $1.5 billion. US goods exports were $15.3 billion, and imports totaled $16.7 billion. Leading US exports in May 2025 included aircraft parts and vaccines, while main imports included cement and motor vehicle parts. The US saw significant export growth to Turkey in May 2025. 

Overall Trends

The US maintains significant trade relationships with several European countries outside the EU, with the UK being the largest partner. While some countries like Switzerland experienced strong trade growth in early 2025, overall trends are influenced by individual country dynamics and broader geopolitical factors. The impact of Brexit continues to affect trade flows, and potential tariff changes could further shape the landscape of US trade with European countries in 2025 and beyond.

Based on the information available as of August 2, 2025, it appears that many non-EU countries exporting goods to the US will face a 10% tariff, but this is not universally applied. 

Here's a breakdown

·       10% baseline: A 10% baseline tariff is in effect for most countries. However, this rate specifically applies to countries with which the US has a trade surplus (meaning the US exports more to them than it imports).

·       Higher rates for countries with trade deficits: The US has implemented higher tariffs for countries with which it has a trade deficit. In some cases, this new baseline rate is 15% and applies to around 40 countries. Other countries face even higher rates, in some instances reaching up to 50%.

·       Negotiated deals and exceptions: Some countries have negotiated trade deals with the US, resulting in specific tariff rates that may differ from the baseline 10% or the 15% rate for trade deficit countries. 

In short, while many non-EU countries will face a 10% tariff on exports to the US, this is not a blanket rule. The actual tariff rate depends on the specific country's trade relationship with the US, including whether the US has a trade surplus or deficit with that nation, and whether a specific trade agreement has been reached. 

Do non-eu countries have a 10 tariff on exports to the us

Based on the latest information available, some non-EU countries face a 10% tariff on exports to the US, while others face higher rates or different arrangements. 

Here's a breakdown:

·       Baseline 10% Tariff: The Trump administration previously announced a 10% "baseline tariff" on goods from all countries, according to CBS News. This applies to countries with which the U.S. has a trade surplus, meaning the U.S. exports more to them than it imports.

·       Higher Tariffs for Some: Countries with larger trade deficits with the U.S. may face higher tariffs, ranging from 15% to 41% or even higher, according to CBS News.

·       Specific Examples:

o   Canada: Tariffs on Canadian goods were set to increase from 25% to 35% starting August 1st.

o   Mexico and China: Action on these countries was delayed while negotiations continue.

o   Brazil: Faced a 50% tariff.

o   India: Was subject to a 25% tariff.

o   South Korea and Japan: Reached deals with the U.S. that involve 15% tariffs.

o   Taiwan, Philippines, Vietnam, Indonesia: Face rates between 19% and 20%.

·       Countries with Free Trade Agreements: The U.S. has agreements with 20 countries that generally reduce or eliminate tariffs on most goods. Examples include Australia, Canada, Chile, Colombia, Israel, Jordan, Mexico, Morocco, Oman, Panama, Peru, and Singapore.

·       "Most Favored Nation" Rates: These are the "normal" duties applied to products imported into the U.S. regardless of origin, and they are determined by the classification of the product. 

Important Notes:

·       This situation is dynamic and subject to change. The White House has been negotiating trade deals and modifying tariffs frequently.

·       The specific tariff rate depends on the country, the product, and potentially ongoing negotiations.

·       It is essential to consult official sources for the most up-to-date and accurate information regarding tariffs on specific products from specific countries. These sources include the U.S. Department of Commerce, the United States Trade Representative (USTR), and the White House website.
