Frequently asked questions
What are the current US-EU tariff rates?
The Tariff & Trade War Monitor tracks live US, EU and China tariff rates, including the headline US-EU rates and sector-specific levels. The dashboard reflects the post-Supreme Court landscape, the status of the EU-US trade deal and ongoing trade tensions, all drawn from official sources such as USTR, EC Trade and the WTO.
What did the US Supreme Court rule on IEEPA tariffs?
The US Supreme Court (SCOTUS) issued a ruling on the tariffs imposed under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (IEEPA). The monitor tracks the SCOTUS IEEPA ruling and its knock-on effects on applied US tariff rates and the wider trade war.
What are the EU countermeasures against US tariffs?
The EU prepared countermeasures worth EUR 93 billion in response to US tariffs. The monitor tracks the status of these measures alongside the EU-US trade deal, so you can see whether they are in force, suspended or under negotiation.
What are the steel and aluminium tariffs?
Steel and aluminium are subject to a 50% tariff, one of the highest sector-specific rates in the current trade war. The monitor tracks these metals tariffs together with other sector rates and retaliatory measures.
What is the status of the EU-US trade deal?
The monitor tracks the EU-US trade deal status in real time, alongside the EUR 93 billion EU countermeasures and the 50% steel and aluminium tariffs. It draws on official trade policy sources to show where negotiations and ratification currently stand.
Who publishes the tariff and trade war monitor?
The tariff and trade war monitor is published free by Beresol, a software company specialised in EU matters ("All the EU, with AI"), founded by Victor Solé Ferioli. It is one of Beresol's open EU policy intelligence monitors, with no paywall and no email gate.
