EnglishUS Imposes 25% Additional Tariff on Countries Trading with Iran
US President Donald Trump announced the implementation of a 25% additional customs tariff on all countries engaged in trade with Iran. Under the new regulation, imports and exports between these countries and the United States will be subject to the additional duty.
New Tariff Decision Impacts Global Trade
The decision, announced by the Washington administration, aims to increase economic pressure on Iran while posing significant risks to global export flows and international trade balances. Experts warn that countries maintaining active trade relations with Iran may face rising costs and a loss of competitiveness in the US market.
Pressure on Iran’s Economy Intensifies
Already struggling under international sanctions and economic contraction, Iran’s economy is expected to face further strain, particularly in energy, petrochemical and industrial exports. The new tariff is likely to limit Iran’s export revenues and restrict access to global markets.
Some Countries Expected to Face Limited Impact
Meanwhile, countries with relatively low trade exposure to Iran — India in particular — are expected to be less affected by the new tariff regime. However, overall uncertainty in global trade is expected to increase, prompting exporters to reassess supply chains and explore alternative markets.
