The United States continues to maintain a high tariff rate on imports, reaching levels not seen since the 1930s. Despite recent trade agreements with China and the United Kingdom, a report from the Yale Budget Lab revealed that the total U.S. average effective tariff rate stands at 17.8%, the highest since 1934. This marks a significant increase of 15.4 percentage points from before the start of Trump’s second term.

The current tariff policies are expected to cost the average household around $2,800 in the short run, although the report does not specify a specific timeframe for these impacts. The Yale Budget Lab also highlighted that even with the trade deals with China and the U.K., the average effective tariff rate remains high, impacting both businesses and consumers.

The recent trade agreements with China and the U.K. have led to a reduction in tariffs. U.S. officials agreed to lower duties on Chinese imports to 30%, down from at least 145%, for a 90-day period as discussions continue. China reciprocated by reducing its duties on U.S. exports to 10% from 125%. Similarly, President Donald Trump announced a deal with the U.K., maintaining a 10% tariff on imports and reducing tariffs on the first 100,000 imported U.K. automobiles to 10% from 25%.

Prior to these trade pacts, consumers were facing an overall average effective tariff rate of 28%, the highest since 1901, according to the Yale Budget Lab’s previous analysis in April. The recent report noted that the decline in the average tariff rate is primarily due to the lower rates on Chinese imports, with minimal effects from the U.S.-U.K. trade deal.

Economists suggest that businesses and consumers may alter their purchasing behavior to avoid the higher costs associated with tariffs, particularly from China. The Yale Budget Lab estimates that after accounting for these substitution effects, the average effective tariff rate could be around 16.4%, the highest since 1937. However, the timing of these shifts in consumer behavior is uncertain, with some changes expected to occur quickly while others may take longer to materialize.

Overall, the impact of tariffs on imports remains a significant concern for both the U.S. economy and consumers. As trade negotiations continue and policies evolve, it will be crucial to monitor how these changes affect businesses and individuals in the marketplace.
