July 2026
Trade Policy
A structured record of 396 new import tariffs and duty increases imposed by governments worldwide in July 2026, covering trade measures affecting goods across all major commodity and manufactured product categories. Each event captures the imposing government, affected trading partners, tariff rate and product scope, effective date, and stated policy rationale. Coverage spans US, EU, China, and major G20 trading relationships.
Government imposed new import tariff or increased duty rate on goods from trading partner
Trade compliance and customs teams at importing companies use tariff data to update duty liability calculations and inform sourcing decisions. Import/export managers and customs brokers track new tariff measures to advise clients on classification and preferential origin claims. Corporate strategic planning and pricing teams monitor tariff changes to model landed cost impacts and assess the need to reshore or redirect supply chains.

<h3>Which countries and trade relationships are covered?</h3><p>The dataset is global in scope, capturing new import tariffs or duty rate increases imposed by any government on goods from any trading partner. US, EU, China, and G20 actions receive the most coverage.</p><h3>Are retaliatory tariffs tracked separately?</h3><p>No. Retaliatory tariffs are treated the same as other new tariff impositions — they are included when formally enacted by a government authority. The record may note the context where it is clearly stated.</p><h3>Are tariff suspensions or reductions included?</h3><p>The dataset focuses on new tariffs and duty increases. Tariff suspensions, reductions, or exemptions are not in scope unless they form part of a broader tariff announcement.</p><h3>How often is this dataset updated?</h3><p>We rerun this dataset once a month. You can create your own dataset that updates as frequently as every one hour on <a href="https://platform.newscatcherapi.com/catchall">platform.newscatcherapi.com/catchall</a></p>
