New tariff rates are hitting, with some taking effect August 1st. Goods from China see average 5% increases. Even EU luxury and agricultural products face a new 10% tariff. Canadian imports jumped to 35% duty recently. US importers have already paid over $200 billion in Section 301 tariffs on Chinese goods since 2018.
