Some agriculture inputs exempt from tariffs

Some agriculture inputs will be exempt from the 10% across-the-board and higher reciprocal tariffs announced by U.S. President Donald Trump last week.

On April 2, Trump signed an executive order declaring that foreign trade and economic practices have created a national economic emergency and imposed a 10% tariff on all countries, which is set to take effect on April 5. Reciprocal higher tariffs on countries with which the U.S. has the highest trade deficits are scheduled to take effect on April 9.
