The tariffs to certain foreign goods that are imported into the USA could be lower than expected. US President Donald Trump has signed a guideline with which the cumulative effect of several taxes is to be limited to the same product. For example, the tariffs of 25 percent, which Trump have raised to certain goods from Mexico, cannot be combined with separate tariffs of 25 percent on steel or aluminum imports. However, some tariffs could still apply cumulatively, as the White House announced. In addition, the President lowered the tariffs to imported auto parts, which are to come into force on May 3. Car manufacturers are offered a compensation that you can apply to the tariffs on the in the future imported parts.
