Trade challenges on 2025: Tariffs, impacts and more

In light of the recent tariff increases announced by the President of the United States and other countries, as well as the potential for retaliatory measures, Forvis Mazars is launching this foreign trade microsite. This microsite will provide updated tariff information by country and/or region, offering clients the latest insights to support informed decision-making.

In January and February, the President of the United States announced a series of tariffs on imports from several countries. In response, these countries prepared counter-tariff measures and even extended non-tariff barriers with the intention of suspending the tariff to be implemented by the US. 

Given the above, this microsite has been created to provide the latest insights regarding this year's tariff measures on trade. Forvis Mazars has an expert team capable of assessing the potential impact of these tariffs on imports to the US, as well as the retaliatory measures to be imposed by each involved country. If you need support conducting an analysis on specific products or cases, please reach out to the corresponding Forvis Mazars expert.
