Live Data: U.S. Tariffs on Coffee Producing Countries
As the U.S. imported more than $8.2 billion worth of coffee in 2023, the National Coffee Association warns that these tariffs could significantly increase consumer prices and disrupt established supply chains.China faces one of the highest rates in the new Trump tariff structure, at 34%, which the Treasury Secretary clarified will be added to existing tariffs for a total of 54% on Chinese imports, including coffee. China exported $99.2M in coffee in 2023, making it the 36th largest exporter in the world.
Mexico faces a 25% tariff generally, though green, unroasted coffee is considered a “USMCA-compliant good” with privileged status, meaning the Mexican tariffs will not apply to green coffee.Brazil is the largest supplier of coffee to the United States, and appears to face a relatively modest 10% baseline tariff under the new structure. However, Brazil’s supplies were already critically low following last year’s severe drought, with arabica prices at record highs. The addition of even modest tariffs could exacerbate an already tight supply situation.
Vietnam is the world’s second-largest coffee producer and a major robusta supplier, and now faces a steep 46% tariff rate according to the announcement. Other countries known for robusta production, including Laos and Cambodia, also face high tariffs. https://freshcup.com/coffee-tariff-tracker/
