China, the European Union, and Canada rank among the nations imposing the steepest tariffs on U.S. exports, targeting key industries such as agriculture, metals, and automobiles.

Axar.az, citing Fox News, reports that as of April 2025, several countries have imposed significant tariffs on U.S. exports, which have been a focal point in ongoing trade discussions. Notable examples include:

China: Engaged in a protracted trade conflict with the U.S., China has levied tariffs up to 15% on over $33 billion worth of U.S. agricultural products, including chicken, wheat, corn, and cotton.

European Union (EU): The EU has implemented tariffs that notably affect U.S. dairy products, with some rates reaching as high as 50%. These measures are part of broader trade policies that have been points of contention between the U.S. and EU.

Canada: While the U.S.-Mexico-Canada Agreement (USMCA) has facilitated tariff-free trade for many products, certain U.S. exports exceeding negotiated quotas face substantial tariffs. For instance, U.S. butter and cheese can be subjected to tariffs up to 300% if they surpass established tariff rate quotas.

These tariff structures have been central to the U.S.'s recent trade policy adjustments, including the introduction of new tariffs aimed at addressing perceived trade imbalances and unfair practices. The evolving landscape underscores the complexity and ongoing negotiations inherent in international trade relations.
