概要

 Welcome to United Kingdom Tariff News and Tracker, where we break down the latest US trade moves impacting Britain. As of late April 2026, President Trump's tariff escalation is putting the UK in the crosshairs, with a fresh threat tied to London's digital services tax on US tech giants like Google, Apple, and Meta. On April 23, Trump stated from the Oval Office that if the UK doesn't drop the tax, the US will slap a big tariff on British imports, Baker Botts reports in their Trump Tariff Tracker dated April 27. This would stack on top of the 10 percent baseline tariff already hitting most UK goods entering the US since April 2025. The UK's digital tax wasn't resolved in last year's US-UK Economic Prosperity Deal, leaving tensions high. UK exporters catch some breaks amid the storm. Certain aerospace products from Britain remain exempt from broader duties, per the tracker. Automobiles and parts get import quotas and reduced tariffs, implemented back in May 2025. On metals, the US adjusted Section 232 tariffs effective April 6—50 percent on aluminum, steel, and most copper articles, but the UK qualifies for reduced rates of 25 percent on Annex I-A items and 15 percent on Annex I-B derivatives, according to GHY Trade Compliance's April 28 update. This reflects ongoing trade talks, with US-origin metals at just 10 percent. Meanwhile, the US Trade Representative kicked off two days of public hearings on April 28 and 29 into Section 301 probes on forced labor imports from 60 economies—could indirectly affect UK supply chains. Broader headlines show tariffs backfiring: Wall Street Journal warns of pricier cars for Americans if deals like USMCA falter, while Fortune notes manufacturing job losses and GDP drags. Listeners, stay tuned as US-UK talks heat up ahead of potential May negotiations. These shifts could reshape British exports from jets to metals.
