Trump slashes US tariff on Fijian goods from 32% to 15%

Listen to this article:

US imposed tariff on Fiji has been reduced from 30% to 15%, US President Donald Trump has announced.

He has introduced a revised set of import tariffs targeting a broad range of countries, including Fiji.

These tariffs are part of what he described as a move toward “mutually agreed” trade arrangements aimed at correcting long-standing trade imbalances.

Several nations have already concluded or are nearing the completion of agreements with the United States, covering both trade and security matters.

However, Trump emphasised that some governments either declined to participate in negotiations or offered terms that fell short of Washington’s expectations.

Under the new framework, import tariffs on goods from numerous countries have been adjusted, with many rates significantly reduced, while others remain elevated or slightly increased.

Some of the revised country-specific tariff rates are as follows:

    • Angola: 32% → 15%
    • Bangladesh: 37% → 20%
    • Bosnia and Herzegovina: 35% → 30%
    • Botswana: 37% → 15%
    • Brunei: 24% → 25%
    • Cambodia: 49% → 19%
    • Cameroon: 11% → 15%
    • Chad: 13% → 15%
    • Côte d’Ivoire: 21% → 15%
    • Democratic Republic of the Congo: 11% → 15%
    • Equatorial Guinea: 13% → 15%
    • European Union (most goods): 20% → 15%
    • Falkland Islands: 41% → 10%
    • Fiji: 32% → 15%
