华盛顿——8月1日讯,美国白宫宣布,总统特朗普签署行政指令,对多国关税税率进行大幅度调整,该指令将于8月7日正式生效,这一举措在国际市场上掀起层层波澜 。
回溯此前,美国原计划于8月1日对马来西亚征收高达25%的关税,这一计划对马来西亚的出口企业而言,无疑是一记沉重的潜在打击。然而,在马来西亚首相安华与特朗普积极沟通、多轮艰苦谈判后,局势出现转机,美国最终将对马关税下调至19% 。在东盟国家的关税体系中,泰国、印尼、菲律宾、柬埔寨与马来西亚相同,被征收19%的关税;越南的关税为20%,汶莱则是25%。而寮国与缅甸的关税高达40%,在东南亚地区位居榜首 。
从亚洲地区整体来看,印度面临的关税为25%,中国台湾地区是20%,日本和韩国同为15%。值得一提的是,澳洲、新加坡等未被列入此次行政命令的国家和地区,依旧执行10%的基准关税 。
同日,特朗普还签署了另一项重要指令,将加拿大的关税从25%大幅调高至35%,且这一调整于8月1日立即生效。白宫方面对此解释称,这一举措是为了回应加拿大此前实施的报复性关税,以及加拿大在阻止芬太尼流入美国方面未达到美国预期 。
在此次发布的指令中,还特别提到一项关键内容:若美国发现有货物通过第三国转运来规避关税,将对相关货物征收高达40%的关税 。这一规定使得不少依赖转口贸易的国家和企业绷紧神经,纷纷审视自身贸易路径 。
在贸易政策方面,特朗普一直以来善用关税作为谈判筹码。凭借关税威胁策略,他已与日本、欧盟等达成初步贸易投资协议,协议中的税率在15 – 20%区间。
至于备受瞩目的美中贸易协议,美国高官表示,目前仍未确定对中国的最终税率。美国财长贝森特则表示,虽然双方的会谈充满艰巨挑战,但贸易协议已在逐步成形,当下需要集中精力处理诸多技术细节问题 。这一表态让全球市场对美中贸易关系的走向充满期待,同时也在持续观望,各方都在密切关注这两大经济体在贸易领域的后续动作 。
Washington, August 1 — The White House announced today that President Donald Trump has signed an executive order to significantly revise tariff rates on multiple countries. The directive will take effect on August 7, stirring considerable waves across international markets.
Previously, the United States had planned to impose a 25% tariff on Malaysian goods starting August 1 — a move that posed a serious potential blow to Malaysian exporters. However, following proactive communication and several rounds of tough negotiations between Malaysian Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim and President Trump, the situation took a turn. The final decision saw the tariff on Malaysian goods reduced to 19%.
Within the ASEAN bloc, Malaysia now shares the same 19% tariff rate with Thailand, Indonesia, the Philippines, and Cambodia. Vietnam faces a 20% tariff, while Brunei is set at 25%. Laos and Myanmar, however, top the regional list with a steep 40% tariff.
From a broader Asian perspective, India is subject to a 25% tariff, Taiwan 20%, and both Japan and South Korea 15%. Notably, countries and regions not listed in the executive order — such as Australia and Singapore — will continue to follow the baseline 10% tariff rate.
On the same day, President Trump also signed another major order raising Canada’s tariff from 25% to 35%, effective immediately. The White House explained that this move was in response to Canada’s earlier retaliatory tariffs and what it described as Canada’s failure to meet U.S. expectations in curbing the influx of fentanyl into the United States.
A crucial clause in the new directive highlights that if the U.S. detects goods being rerouted through third-party countries to circumvent tariffs, those goods will face a punitive 40% tariff. This provision has sent shockwaves through countries and companies that heavily rely on re-export strategies, prompting many to reassess their supply chains.
President Trump has long employed tariffs as a key bargaining tool in trade negotiations. Using tariff threats, he has secured preliminary trade and investment deals with Japan and the European Union, with agreed tariff rates falling between 15% and 20%.
As for the much-anticipated U.S.–China trade agreement, senior American officials have indicated that final tariff rates on Chinese goods have yet to be determined. Treasury Secretary Besent noted that while the negotiations remain challenging, progress is being made, and the focus now is on resolving complex technical issues. His remarks have fueled anticipation in global markets, as stakeholders closely monitor the evolving dynamics between the world’s two largest economies.
