The U.S. trade landscape continues to rapidly evolve, with major implications for the global spice trade.  According to recent announcements from the White House, including the July 31 executive order, spices imported from key origin countries may now face cumulative tariffs of up to 50%. While spices have not yet been granted exemptions, the U.S.–Indonesia Framework leaves room for relief on products not “naturally available or domestically produced”—a designation ASTA is actively advocating for.

In this webinar, ASTA breaks down the latest developments, including updates on bilateral negotiations with Brazil, India, Vietnam, and others. We also discussed ASTA’s advocacy strategy and address questions from members about tariff rates, stacking, effective dates/grace periods, transshipments, and the status of ongoing negotiations. Access to materials is for ASTA members only.
