As of Friday, April 18, 2025, here's the latest update on tariffs concerning Algeria: United States Tariffs on Goods from Algeria: Reciprocal Tariff: As part of the "reciprocal tariffs" announced by the United States, Algeria is subject to a 30% tariff on all its exports to the U.S. This rate went into effect on April 10, 2025, following a brief initial baseline tariff period. This 30% rate is based on the U.S. assessment of the tariffs Algeria imposes on American products. The U.S. administration argues this policy aims to create a fairer trade system. Algeria's Trade Policy: Algeria's trade law is based on the freedom of trade and establishment. Foreign entities have the right to establish businesses and engage in trade within Algeria.   The EU-Algeria Free Trade Agreement, which fully liberalized trade in goods by abolishing tariffs in September 2020, governs trade relations between Algeria and the European Union. Algeria is also a member of the Greater Arab Free Trade Agreement (GAFTA) and the African Continental Free Trade Agreement.   Other Relevant Algerian Trade Information: Import Regulations: Algeria requires mandatory conformity and quality certificates, as well as a certificate of origin, for imported goods. Sanitary and health certificates are also necessary for plant and animal products.   Trade Barriers: Foreign companies often report issues with customs clearance delays. Algeria also requires transcripts in Arabic and clear display of the product's origin.   Import Licenses: Algeria has implemented a system of import licenses to control the flow of certain goods. Obtaining an "ALGEX certificate" from the Ministry of Trade is a prerequisite for banks to authorize payments for imports, ensuring the imported product isn't available locally.   De Minimis: There is no specific "de minimis" threshold mentioned for U.S. tariffs on Algerian goods. However, Algeria has its own rules for duty-free allowances for personal items carried by travelers. In summary, the most significant recent tariff update for Algeria involves the United States imposing a 30% reciprocal tariff on all goods imported from Algeria, effective April 10, 2025. This is in addition to Algeria's own import regulations and trade policies.
