At Radius International, we closely monitor developments in global trade to help our customers stay ahead of changes that could impact their imports and supply chains. Recently, the U.S. government has made a significant shift in its trade policy, which could affect businesses across multiple industries.

What’s Changing?

Following the rollback of IEEPA tariffs, the U.S. has initiated Section 301 investigations into trade practices across more than 60 countries. These investigations focus on a range of sectors, including automotive, electronics, steel, textiles, and more. While some of these changes may lead to adjustments in tariffs or trade policies, careful planning and proactive management can help businesses minimize any potential disruption.

Key Takeaways for Importers and Businesses

  • The U.S. has implemented a temporary 10% tariff under Section 122, bridging the gap while longer-term trade remedies are considered.

  • Section 301 investigations allow for a wide range of trade actions, with no cap on tariff rates and no expiration timeline, meaning some sectors may face new measures in the coming months.

  • Industries under review include automotive, electronics, steel, textiles, and more, across 60+ countries globally.
