US Imposes Fluctuating Tariffs on South Korean Imports Amid Diplomatic Tensions and Trade Policy Adjustments

In early April, President Trump imposed a 25% reciprocal tariff on South Korean imports as part of his broader "Liberation Day" trade policy. This tariff went into effect on April 9th, marking a dramatic shift from the virtually duty-free access South Korea had enjoyed since the 2007 bilateral Free Trade Agreement.
However, the tariff situation has been evolving rapidly. By April 22nd, the U.S. had reduced the South Korean tariff from 25% to 10%, as reported by Stars and Stripes. This reduction came amid growing concerns from policy experts that the initial higher tariffs could undermine the U.S.-South Korea alliance.
The Trade Compliance Resource Hub notes that Trump's administration has been actively adjusting tariff rates and expanding the list of products subject to these duties. South Korea's 25% tariff rate was slightly higher than those imposed on the European Union (20%) and Japan (24%), but lower than rates for Vietnam (46%), Taiwan (32%), and China (which faces one of the highest at 54% or more).
Adding complexity to the situation, on April 30th, Trump signed an executive order preventing the cumulative application of multiple tariffs on the same imported items under specific national security and emergency authorities. This order, retroactively effective from March 4th, may affect how tariffs are applied to South Korean goods.
Looking ahead, there may be room for negotiation. White House National Economic Council Chair Kevin Hassett stated in an April 8th Fox News interview that Japan and South Korea—described as two of America's closest allies and trading partners—would be prioritized in upcoming tariff negotiations.
The situation remains fluid as we approach a July tariff deadline, with Seoul continuing to seek exemptions and more favorable terms. This comes at a particularly challenging time for South Korea, which is preparing for presidential elections in June following the impeachment of former President Yoon Suk Yeol in April.
