US Sets 30% Bosnia Tariff, 35% on Serbia From Aug. 1

President Donald Trump said the United States will impose a 30% tariff on goods imported from Bosnia and a 35% tariff on imports from Serbia, with both measures taking effect on Aug. 1. The announcement was delivered in separate letters to the two governments, according to excerpts released on Monday. The step extends Washington’s recent protectionist turn, coming less than four months after a 145% blanket tariff on Chinese goods entered force. No rationale for the Balkan tariffs was provided in the letters, and U.S. trade officials have not yet detailed which product categories will be affected.
