The new 10% tariff announcement seems to be intended to minimize supply chain disruptions, excluding energy, metals, and USMCA products. However, since Section 122 is limited to 150 days and the issue of previous tariff refunds is still uncertain, importers and manufacturers should continue to pay attention to price and supply volatility in the short term. Some countries, such as China, may be subject to Section 301 survey, so we need to pay attention to the global trade flow as well.
