I believe this from the White House contains the only semi official numbers:
https://www.whitehouse.gov/fact-sheets/2025/04/fact-sheet-president-donald-j-trump-declares-national-emergency-to-increase-our-competitive-edge-protect-our-sovereignty-and-strengthen-our-national-and-economic-security/ https://www.whitehouse.gov/fact-sheets/2025/04/fact-sheet-pr....
That has 10% across the board starting April 5th, then unspecified rates for the “worst offenders” starting April 9th.
I say “semi official” because it’s not official until US Customs and Border Patrol publishes the rates. So far I don’t think they’ve done that. Their announcements page here doesn’t have anything:

- willvarfar 2y agoYes Trump has a history of announcing shocks and then quietly back-peddling etc. But the numbers come from the big placard he holds up. There are pics of his announcement holding his rate card in article if you scroll down.
- toasterlovin 2y agoYeah, I’ve seen the boards he was holding up, but the fact that those numbers are not on the whitehouse.gov page and that they’ll be implemented a few days later makes me think they’re not final yet. Plus we don’t know if they’re in addition to or replace the existing China tariffs, for example.
- Qworg 2y agoThe admin has stated they are in addition to (totaling 54%).
- Loughla 2y agoThey're absolutely in addition to. We run a very small business (luckily just for side income). One of our suppliers expects prices to go up 45-55% by the time this is done. It sucks out loud because there are literally no suppliers from the US for the parts we need.
