50 percent: Brazil and India.

Brazil will, based on a decision signed by Trump, receive 40-percent tariffs added to a 10-percent tariff fee introduced in April this year. Exceptions will be made for the aviation industry, energy, and orange juice.

India is subject to tariffs of 25 percent, which, according to a presidential order on Wednesday, will be increased to 50 percent – but not until August 27. In the order, Donald Trump cites India's "direct or indirect" import of Russian oil as the reason for the new tariffs.

41 percent: Syria.

40 percent: Laos and Myanmar (Burma).

39 percent: Switzerland.

35 percent: Canada. Tariffs that came into effect on August 1. However, exceptions apply to a large proportion of goods covered by the North American free trade agreement between the US, Mexico, and Canada. Iraq and Serbia will also receive 35-percent tariffs.

30 percent: Bosnia-Herzegovina, South Africa, Algeria, Libya, and for the time being also China, as well as possibly Mexico in the future.

Since the US agreed to reduce tariffs on Chinese goods from 145 percent to 30 percent in the spring, China in turn agreed to reduce tariffs on American goods from 125 percent to 10 percent. The tariff pause between the two countries has been extended until August 12. If no agreement is reached, the US threatens to respond with 100-percent tariffs again. China, however, has a strong negotiating card due to its dominant position in the extraction and processing of rare earth metals, which are crucial for, among other things, the Western world's defense industry.

For Mexico, Trump decided after a conversation with Mexico's President Claudia Sheinbaum at the end of July this year to extend the tariff pause by three months. Thus, the increase of 30 percent that Trump had previously announced is being postponed.

25 percent: Kazakhstan, Tunisia, Brunei, and Moldova.

20 percent: Sri Lanka, Vietnam, and Taiwan.

19 percent: Cambodia, Bangladesh, Thailand, Indonesia, the Philippines, Malaysia, and Pakistan.

15 percent: Afghanistan, EU, Ghana, Iceland, Japan, Jordan, Norway, Turkey, Venezuela, Uganda, New Zealand, South Korea, and several others.

The EU and the US reached an agreement on a trade agreement on July 27, which means American import tariffs of 15 percent on goods from EU countries. Certain goods, such as steel and aluminum, are exempt from the agreement, and much remains to be negotiated. When it comes to medicines, the EU has agreed on a ceiling of 15 percent, while Trump has threatened that medicine tariffs may eventually reach as high as 250 percent.

10 percent: the United Kingdom and Australia.
