Following the introduction by President Trump of a 10% tariff on a wide range of UK products exported to the US from 5 April 2025, the Government has launched a consultation seeking views from businesses across the economy on the UK’s potential response, which could include tariffs on US goods imported into the UK as a ‘last resort’.
The US had already introduced a 25% tariff on steel and aluminium products from 12 March 2025, and the consultation includes a range of questions for companies, including the average value of their US imports, the impact of any possible UK tariffs and how they would adjust to them. To assist companies in responding, the Government has published a list of products imported from the US which are likely to be subject to tariffs if a solution with the US is not reached, and to find out if a product is on the list search for a relevant word in the document. The deadline for responses to the consultation is 1 May.
