Trump tariffs could also affect Kosovo's clothing - Reciprocity, Kosovo also has 10% tariffs on American goods
Goods originating from Kosovo will have a base tariff of ten percent if they intend to enter the US market. The tariffs imposed by President Trump will take effect in the coming days, and as announced, they have been imposed with the aim of improving the US economy.
The decision has been criticized as consumers and businesses could face price increases. For example, American citizens who previously purchased products exported from Kosovo could now face higher prices.
Data shows that the most exported products from Kosovo to the US are mattresses, quilts, pillows and dresses. In the first quarter of this year alone, Kosovo exported clothing – mainly dresses – worth 3.2 million euros.
Tariffs higher than the basic ten percent tariff are imposed on countries with which the US has a trade deficit, that is, countries from which the US imports more than it exports. In the case of Kosovo, imports from the US have almost always been greater than exports to the US. In other words, in the last 10 years, exports to the US have been very small compared to the value of total imports.
Kosovo also has a 10 percent tariff on goods imported from the U.S. Kosovo authorities apply this tariff to all countries with which they do not have free trade agreements.
