These Tariffs Are Still in Place After Wednesday’s Court Ruling

On late Wednesday, a U.S. trade court blocked some of President Donald Trump’s tariffs, but not all of them.

The court ruled that the president did not have the authority to impose “reciprocal” tariffs—many of which were pulled back to a baseline 10% until July to give countries time to negotiate the highest levels down. It also blocks the fentanyl-related tariffs imposed on Canada, China, and Mexico. The Trump administration has 10 days to stop collecting the affected tariffs.

However, a few tariffs are not subject to this ruling. Here’s a look at which tariffs still stand:

Automobiles

A 25% tariff on automobiles and auto parts was enacted on April 3.

Some aspects of the tariff have since been somewhat softened through additional executive orders and the trade agreement reached with the United Kingdom.

However, they still stand to make an impact. Analysts said that the tariff could increase the price of all vehicles—domestic, foreign, new, or used—by thousands of dollars. That will likely push up car insurance prices in turn.

Steel and Aluminum

President Trump signed an executive order in February establishing a 25% tariff on steel and aluminum imports.

The tariffs went into effect March 12. Roughly 25 million tons of steel are imported into the U.S. each year, primarily from Canada, Brazil, Mexico, and South Korea.

Economists have said that everything from homes to soda could become more expensive under these tariffs. Because metals are used in the manufacturing of so many products, it is hard to enumerate the size and scope of the tariffs’ impacts.

Because of the widespread use of the metals, it could also have far-reaching effects on the job market, studies showed.
