Overview

• Starting July 4, the White House will send roughly 10 to 12 letters per day informing each country of its unilateral tariff rate.
• The announced duties will range from 10 percent to 70 percent depending on the trading partner’s profile.
• The letter-based system replaces complex bilateral trade talks with a streamlined notification process.
• A 90-day pause on reciprocal tariffs expires on July 9, by which point all targeted countries will have received their letters.
• Administration officials say the variable duty framework is designed to strengthen U.S. leverage and address global trade imbalances.
