Current tariff landscape

Tariffs are reshaping the trade environment and creating significant challenges for Utah businesses. Staying competitive may require adjusting to new regulations, making additional investments in production, and managing added risk. World Trade Center Utah is uniquely positioned to help companies navigate these challenges to mitigate potential impacts.

Our team is closely monitoring policy developments and has created the dashboard below to help you stay updated on current trade actions. It also notes when new tariffs are layered on top of existing ones.

Where to start

  • Import your product prior to the tariff start date, if possible.

  • Negotiate with foreign suppliers to share cost increases.

  • Stay current on anti-dumping and countervailing duty investigations

  • Review guidance on U.S.-made content provisions of tariffs, and if available, explore exemptions for the portion of your goods made in the U.S..

  • Check rules of origin to see if your product qualifies for a lower tariff rate through another country.

  • Avoid transshipment shortcuts. Routing goods through a third country to bypass tariffs can trigger a 40% duty, steep fines, and public exposure with no penalty relief.

  • Consider using “F” on CBP Form 7501 to declare first-sale pricing. Keep records that can support your claim or risk penalties and back duties.

  • Connect with WTC Utah for in-house tools, guidance, and trusted network of trade service providers.
