U.S. Tariff Rates by Country

This mapping of U.S. tariff policy shows that under the current administration (Trump, as of April 2025 policy), reciprocal tariffs have been imposed on over 80 countries, with rates ranging from 10% to 50%. Visual Capitalist+2Voronoi+2

The highest rates (50%) apply to countries like Brazil and India. Other high tariff partners include Mexico (25%), Canada (35%), China (30%), among others. Voronoi+1

The justification cited is persistent trade deficits, non-tariff barriers by partners, and national security arguments. Visual Capitalist+1

Implications for government contracting / federal government:

  • Contractors who rely on imported inputs from high-tariff countries may see increased costs; cost estimates for supplies, raw materials, and components could rise, affecting bids.
  • Tariffs affect supply chain resilience: some contracts may need domestic sourcing or re-evaluation of procurement strategies to avoid high import duties.
  • Federal agencies buying goods (especially in infrastructure, defense, etc.) may need to plan for higher cost premiums or shift sourcing to countries with lower or no tariff exposure.
  • Tariffs could provoke retaliatory trade measures which might affect export components of government contractors, especially those in sectors like agriculture or manufacturing.
  • Federal policy & contracting guidance may need to update rules about “Buy American” or domestic content thresholds in light of altered trade relationships.
