Welcome to United Kingdom Tariff News and Tracker, sharing the latest tariff developments and headlines with a close focus on the UK and international actions impacting the transatlantic relationship.
This October, President Trump made headlines with a proclamation on September 29, 2025, adjusting tariff rates on imports of timber, lumber, and related derivative goods. According to Lewis Brisbois, the revised rates specifically target a range of wood products entering the US market, including some originating in Europe. While the United Kingdom was not explicitly singled out in Trump's announcement, British timber exports to the United States are now subject to careful review for compliance with these new duty levels.
US officials stated that these actions are aimed at protecting American industry, and there’s growing concern among British exporters about higher costs and potential disruption for key sectors. Conversations between UK government representatives and Washington have been ongoing, as London looks to secure assurances that British products won't face disproportionate barriers compared to other European suppliers.
Adding to this, Bloomberg reports ongoing negotiations between the UK and US over rolling back steel and aluminum tariffs originally imposed during Trump’s previous term. However, the changes to wood product tariffs signal that Washington’s trade policy is remaining unpredictable as the US election cycle intensifies.
British manufacturers and exporters are watching these developments closely. The Financial Times noted in a recent analysis that sustained or increased tariff pressure could affect jobs, price stability, and investment decisions within the UK’s forest products sector. Exporters are encouraged by trade analysts at Oxford Economics to diversify their markets but remain alert for possible shifts in US-UK trade relations as further announcements are expected in the coming weeks.
Listeners should also know that British goods like whisky and luxury items have dodged new tariffs for now, but that status could shift quickly if broader transatlantic negotiations on digital services and tax policy encounter stumbling blocks.
