WASHINGTON: US customs agents began collecting President Donald Trump's unilateral 10% tariff on all imports from various countries on Saturday (April 5), with higher levies on goods from 57 larger trading partners set to start next week.
The initial 10% "baseline" tariff took effect at U.S. seaports, airports, and customs warehouses at 12.01am ET (0401 GMT), marking a departure from the post-World War Two system of mutually agreed tariff rates.
