What import tariffs do other countries impose on us goods by country 2025 

Here's an overview of the import tariffs other countries impose on U.S. goods by country in 2025:

General Tariffs and Trade Context

  • The United States implemented a 10% universal reciprocal tariff on most imports (with some exemptions) that took effect on April 5, 2025, according to Avalara. This is in addition to other pre-existing tariffs and sector-specific duties. Many countries have responded to U.S. tariff policies with their own retaliatory measures, creating a complex and shifting trade landscape.
  • The average effective U.S. tariff rate in 2025 is estimated to be the highest since the 1930s.

What manufacturing is coming back to the US

Industries experiencing reshoring and increasing manufacturing in the U.S

Several industries are experiencing a shift towards reshoring, which is the practice of relocating manufacturing operations back to the company's home country from overseas. This trend is driven by a combination of factors, including the need for more resilient supply chains, rising labor costs overseas, government incentives, and consumer preferences for locally produced goods. 

Key industries and examples

  • Semiconductors: This sector is seeing a significant return, supported by incentives like the CHIPS and Science Act. For instance, TSMC is investing heavily in new plants in Arizona, and Nvidia is building advanced chip manufacturing and AI supercomputer facilities in Arizona and Texas.
  • Automotive: Several automakers are investing in US manufacturing, particularly in electric vehicles (EVs) and their components, including batteries. General Motors, Ford, and Honda are among the companies making significant investments in their US plants. Hyundai is also committed to expanding domestic automobile production.
  • Pharmaceuticals and Healthcare: The pandemic exposed vulnerabilities in the supply chain for essential medicines and healthcare products, prompting a push for more domestic production. Companies like Johnson & Johnson, Merck, and Roche are investing in new and expanded US facilities.
  • Electronics and electrical equipment: Beyond semiconductors, this sector is experiencing reshoring to improve quality control, protect intellectual property, and enhance innovation. Companies like Apple and Nvidia are increasing their US manufacturing capabilities for various electronic components and products.
  • Plastics Manufacturing: This sector is seeing a return, especially for products requiring rapid customer response times, according to FreightWaves.
  • Building products and materials: The increased construction of new manufacturing facilities, particularly in high-tech sectors, is driving demand for locally sourced building products and materials. 

Driving factors

  • Supply chain resilience: Companies are seeking to reduce dependency on international suppliers and mitigate risks associated with disruptions like pandemics and geopolitical tensions.
  • Rising costs overseas: Labor costs in traditional manufacturing hubs like China have significantly increased, making domestic production more competitive.
  • Government incentives: Policies such as the CHIPS and Science Act and the Inflation Reduction Act offer tax credits, grants, and other incentives for companies to invest in US manufacturing.
  • Consumer preferences: A growing number of consumers are willing to pay more for products labeled "Made in America," supporting domestic production and jobs. 

While reshoring presents opportunities for economic growth and job creation, challenges remain, particularly regarding the need for a skilled workforce and significant upfront investment in infrastructure and technology, notes Scope Technical. However, the trend is expected to continue and shape the future of US manufacturing in the years to come.
