  • U.S. Tariffs Soar to 17.6% in 2025 Impacting Mexico Trade Costs Households Nearly $2300 Annually

    U.S. Tariffs Soar to 17.6% in 2025 Impacting Mexico Trade Costs Households Nearly $2300 Annually
    Jul 8 2025
    Welcome to Mexico Tariff News and Tracker. Today is July 8, 2025, and we’re bringing you the latest updates and headlines on U.S. tariffs involving Mexico, President Trump’s evolving trade policies, and what it all means for businesses and households on both sides of the border.

    Listeners, 2025 has already seen the sharpest increase in U.S. tariffs in nearly a century. According to The Budget Lab at Yale, the average effective U.S. tariff rate now stands at 17.6%, the highest since 1934, with estimates that the new tariff regime has raised the cost of living by about 1.7% for American households—a hit of $2,300 per year. For context, that’s a significant increase from pre-2025 levels, where the typical tariff hovered closer to 2.5%.

    For Mexico specifically, the tariff landscape has shifted dramatically following a wave of executive orders from President Trump. Back in March, the administration imposed 25% tariffs on steel, aluminum, and automobile imports, including those from Mexico, citing national security concerns and ongoing disputes over issues like water delivery from the Rio Grande. At the same time, Mexican goods benefiting from the USMCA, the United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement, remain exempt from these new tariffs, offering some limited relief for compliant auto parts and certain other goods, although officials note that only about half of Mexican exports had sorted out the necessary paperwork by spring. By April, the scope of exemptions was extended, but the threat of further tariffs persisted due to strains over water rights and ongoing discussions on drug trafficking.

    President Trump’s escalation hasn’t just impacted Mexico; it set off a wave of retaliatory tariffs. Canada, for example, responded with its own 25% levies on billions of dollars in U.S. goods and is poised to ramp those up if no negotiation breakthroughs are reached. The broader trade conflict has created market volatility and complicated planning for North American manufacturers and retailers.

    Just this week, President Trump signed yet another executive order extending the suspension of new “reciprocal” tariffs—originally set to take effect July 9—until August 1, 2025. The current baseline: a 10% tariff applies to nearly all imports, except for key sectors like semiconductors and pharmaceuticals, while Mexican and Canadian goods not covered under the USMCA face a 25% tariff. Notably, tariffs on autos and car parts are still in place, and officials warn that if negotiations stall, rates could increase further.

    The White House claims that these tariffs will pressure trade partners into fairer deals, but with only two new agreements—one framework with the UK and a preliminary deal with Vietnam—many experts remain skeptical. Deutsche Bank and Bloomberg News both highlight the ongoing uncertainty for businesses, with U.S. importers shouldering the cost as they decide whether to absorb tariff increases, raise prices, or seek new supply sources.

    Listeners, that’s the latest on the Mexico-U.S. tariff front—a story that continues to evolve week by week. Thanks for tuning in, and make sure to subscribe so you don’t miss our next update.

  • U.S. Imposes and Partially Rolls Back 25 Percent Tariffs on Mexican Imports Amid Border Security Tensions

    U.S. Imposes and Partially Rolls Back 25 Percent Tariffs on Mexican Imports Amid Border Security Tensions
    Jul 7 2025
    Welcome to the latest episode of Mexico Tariff News and Tracker. Listeners, the U.S.-Mexico trade landscape remains in the headlines as the Trump administration’s approach to tariffs continues to reshape cross-border commerce.

    As of March 4, 2025, the United States officially imposed a broad 25 percent tariff on nearly all imports from Mexico. This comes under Executive Order 14194 and subsequent amendments aimed at addressing what the administration refers to as issues at the southern border. U.S. Customs and Border Protection, along with the Department of Homeland Security, confirmed these actions, modifying the U.S. tariff schedule to specifically include all articles that are products of Mexico. Notably, these tariffs apply to Mexican goods regardless of whether they previously qualified for duty-free treatment under the USMCA, wiping away prior exemptions or temporary reductions. Additionally, Mexican products remain subject to any existing anti-dumping or countervailing duties, as well as normal taxes and fees, further increasing costs for importers according to a March 2025 update from Holland & Knight.

    The story took a turn just days later. On March 7, 2025, the U.S. largely reversed course, announcing that goods qualifying under the USMCA could re-enter the U.S. duty-free, though this exemption was set to expire on April 2, 2025. For certain non-USMCA goods, such as potash, a 10 percent tariff applies rather than the blanket 25 percent, reflecting a targeted rather than full rollback, as detailed by Jackson Walker LLP.

    The Trump administration’s strategy has been driven by both economic and national security considerations. President Trump cited border security and the fentanyl crisis as justifications, utilizing the International Emergency Economic Powers Act, a rarely used authority for tariff imposition. According to Wikipedia’s entry on the 2025 U.S. trade war with Canada and Mexico, Trump’s executive orders were designed to incentivize American manufacturing and to respond to what he described as insufficient cooperation from Mexico on issues such as drug trafficking.

    Auto imports, a critical sector for U.S.-Mexico trade, were temporarily exempted from the 25 percent tariff but faced review. As of early April, the exemption for USMCA-qualified goods was extended indefinitely, meaning that nearly half of all Mexican imports—those meeting USMCA rules of origin—have continued to enter the U.S. without the new tariffs. The Tax Foundation’s July 3, 2025 update outlines this evolving framework and underscores how swiftly the administration’s tariff policy can change.

    For Mexican businesses and U.S. importers, this ongoing uncertainty demands vigilance. With legal challenges ongoing and the White House retaining broad discretionary powers, further tariff actions—or reversals—remain possible at short notice.

  • U.S. Imposes 25 Percent Tariff on Mexican Imports Amid Border Security Concerns, Disrupting International Trade Dynamics

    U.S. Imposes 25 Percent Tariff on Mexican Imports Amid Border Security Concerns, Disrupting International Trade Dynamics
    Jul 6 2025
    Listeners, welcome to the latest episode of Mexico Tariff News and Tracker. As of today, July 6th, 2025, the U.S.-Mexico tariff landscape remains a central topic in international trade, with major developments directly impacting commerce, investment, and policy dynamics at the border.

    Following several executive orders from President Trump, the United States imposed a sweeping 25 percent tariff on all imports from Mexico effective March 4th, 2025, as announced by U.S. Customs and Border Protection and the Department of Homeland Security. This measure was enacted under Executive Orders 14194 and 14198, addressing concerns at the southern border and citing issues related to border security and fentanyl trafficking, with the goal of reshaping the U.S.-Mexico trading relationship. All Mexican products intended for U.S. consumption, whether entering now or withdrawn from storage, are subject to this tariff, regardless of any previous exemptions or temporary reductions. Crucially, these tariffs override the preferential terms usually granted under the USMCA, meaning even goods that typically would be duty-free are now affected unless specifically exempted by recent waivers or executive actions. According to reports by Holland & Knight and Wikipedia, the 25 percent rate encompasses almost all Mexican exports, including energy and manufactured goods, while remaining in place indefinitely unless further changes are announced by the White House.

    However, there have been significant nuances. White & Case notes that on March 5th, President Trump initially issued exemptions for categories such as auto imports and goods qualifying under the USMCA, which together represented around 49 percent of Mexican exports to the U.S. These exemptions were slated to expire on April 2nd, but were ultimately extended indefinitely, meaning nearly half of Mexican exports, particularly automotive and certified USMCA goods, continue to enter the U.S. duty-free. Alvarez & Marsal also highlight that steel and aluminum from Mexico are now subject to a 25 percent and 10 percent tariff, respectively, confirming there is a sector-specific approach on top of the general 25 percent rate.

    Trump’s use of emergency executive powers under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act has attracted considerable scrutiny and legal challenges. The Tax Foundation documents at least five court cases questioning the administration’s ability to impose such broad tariffs without Congressional approval, but for now, the tariffs remain in force.

    On the international front, both Mexico and Canada have signaled intentions to retaliate, raising the prospect of a broader trade war. The situation remains fluid, with further tariff increases or retaliatory measures possible in the weeks ahead.

    Listeners, these developments will continue to shape supply chains, pricing, and cross-border relations through the rest of 2025, and we’ll keep you updated on any changes and their real-world impacts.
