Import Tariffs: Updates for Printify Merchants

Written by

Sabrina Barnes

Between April 2 and April 10, 2025, the US government provided an update on trade tariffs:

The reciprocal tariff on Chinese goods was raised to 125% starting April 10. These new tariffs are applied on top of the previously imposed 20% IEEPA tariff, bringing the total tariff rate on affected Chinese goods to 145%.
The President signed an Executive Order eliminating the duty-free de minimis treatment for low-value (USD 800 or less) goods from China and Hong Kong starting May 2, 2025. For additional information, please refer to this Fact Sheet.
Trump’s latest increased reciprocal tariffs, except those placed on China, were paused for 90 days as of April 10, with the 10% “baseline” reciprocal tariffs remaining in force for all countries except China.

Retaliatory tariffs on the US:

On March 4, Canada imposed a 25% tariff on a range of American goods, including clothing, shoes, and household items, warning that more retaliatory tariffs could follow.
China followed with its own round of tariffs on March 10, targeting specific US exports. However, not all US-based sellers were affected. On April 8, they announced an 84% retaliatory tariff, which was increased to 125% on April 11 in direct response to U.S. tariff hikes, along with a statement that no further increases are planned at this time.
