Assistant Managing Editor, Newsletters

The Trump Administration signed an order on Friday amending reciprocal tariff rates on select food items unable to be grown, produced or procured in the U.S. 

That means products such as coffee, tropical fruits and spices, among others, from select countries will no longer be subject to a 10% duty when the item arrives on U.S. soil. But Friday’s rollback only impacts “Liberation Day” levies imposed in April and leaves other duties in place.
