Implications

Based on the latest available information, here's an update on tariffs related to Kyrgyzstan as of Sunday, April 20, 2025: United States Tariffs on Goods from Kyrgyzstan: As part of the broader tariff actions initiated by the U.S., a 10% tariff has been imposed on imports from Kyrgyzstan, effective April 5, 2025. This tariff applies generally to all goods from Kyrgyzstan, with no specific exemptions announced as of the latest reports. Previously, as a beneficiary of the U.S. Generalized System of Preferences (GSP) program, Kyrgyzstan could export approximately 3,500 products to the United States duty-free. The imposition of this 10% tariff means that these goods are no longer entering the U.S. without duties.   The most vulnerable Kyrgyz exports to the U.S. that will be affected by this 10% tariff include: Ready-made garments (including clothing patterns) Cigarettes Natural honey Other food products Footwear Kyrgyzstan's General Tariff Rates: Kyrgyzstan is a member of the Eurasian Economic Union (EAEU), which also includes Russia, Belarus, Kazakhstan, and Armenia. As a result, its import tariffs are influenced by the common external tariff of the EAEU for goods from third countries.   The average import tariff rate in Kyrgyzstan increased from 5.04% to 9.4% after joining the EAEU. These rates can vary depending on the specific goods.   In 2021, the applied weighted mean tariff rate for all products in Kyrgyzstan was 3.01%. The U.S. Trade Representative noted in 2024 that the U.S. total goods trade with Kyrgyzstan was an estimated $149.8 million, with U.S. imports from Kyrgyzstan totaling $16.7 million. Impact of Recent US Tariffs on Kyrgyzstan: While the 10% tariff imposed by the U.S. is lower than the tariffs applied to major trading partners like China, it is expected to make Kyrgyz goods less competitive in the U.S. market due to increased prices. Some analysts believe the impact on Kyrgyzstan's overall exports may be minimal due to the relatively small volume of exports to the U.S. compared to its total trade. In 2024, exports to the U.S. constituted only about 0.2% of Kyrgyzstan's total exports. However, specific Kyrgyz exporters, particularly those dealing in textiles, cigarettes, and honey, are likely to feel the consequences more significantly. There is a perspective that the new U.S. tariff policy might present an opportunity for Kyrgyzstan. With higher tariffs on goods from major Asian exporters, Kyrgyzstan, with its lower 10% tariff, strategic location, and lower production costs, could potentially become a platform for localization, packaging, and re-export for some manufacturers. Kyrgyzstan's Response: As of the available reports, there has been no official retaliatory tariff action announced by Kyrgyzstan in response to the U.S. tariffs. In summary, the most recent tariff update for Kyrgyzstan involves a new 10% duty imposed by the United States on all imports from the country. While the overall impact on Kyrgyzstan's economy might be limited due to the small trade volume with the U.S., specific export sectors will likely face increased challenges. Kyrgyzstan might also explore potential benefits arising from the altered global trade landscape due to higher tariffs on other major exporting nations.

US Negotiation Strategy

Based on the most recent data from 2024, the top imports to the US from Kyrgyzstan by value are: Machinery, nuclear reactors, boilers ($6.00 Million) Vehicles other than railway, tramway ($4.12 Million) Arms and ammunition, parts and accessories ($1.66 Million) Toys, games, sports requisites ($1.17 Million) Footwear, gaiters and the like ($615.07 Thousand) Here's a look at the US states that have manufacturing capabilities for similar goods, along with some example companies: Machinery, nuclear reactors, boilers: Illinois: Known for manufacturing industrial machinery. Example: Caterpillar Inc. (with headquarters in Irving, Texas, but significant manufacturing operations in Illinois).   Ohio: Has a diverse manufacturing sector, including machinery. Example: Emerson Electric Co. Wisconsin: Has a strong manufacturing base in various types of machinery. Example: Komatsu Mining Corp.   Vehicles other than railway, tramway: Michigan: The historical center of the US automotive industry. Examples: Ford Motor Company, General Motors, Stellantis.   California: A growing hub for electric vehicle manufacturing and automotive parts. Example: Tesla, various automotive suppliers.   South Carolina: A major automotive manufacturing hub. Examples: BMW, Volvo.   Alabama: Another significant automotive production state. Examples: Mercedes-Benz, Hyundai.   Tennessee: Home to several automotive assembly plants. Examples: Nissan, Volkswagen.   Arms and ammunition, parts and accessories: Connecticut: Has a long history of firearms manufacturing. Example: Colt's Manufacturing Company.   Missouri: Another state with a significant presence in the firearms industry. Example: Olin Corporation (Winchester Ammunition).   New Hampshire: Home to various firearms and ammunition manufacturers. Example: Sig Sauer. Toys, games, sports requisites: California: Has a significant presence in the toy industry, including design and some manufacturing. Example: Mattel, Jakks Pacific.   Rhode Island: Historically a center for toy manufacturing. Example: Hasbro.   Ohio: Has some toy and game manufacturing. Example: Little Tikes (though much of their production is now overseas). Footwear, gaiters and the like: Oregon: Headquarters of major athletic footwear companies. Example: Nike, Columbia Sportswear. Massachusetts: Has a history of shoe manufacturing. Example: New Balance (some US manufacturing).   Maine: Still has some specialized footwear manufacturing. Example: Rancourt & Co. It's important to note that while these states and companies have the capability to manufacture similar types of goods, the specific designs, materials, and production scales might differ from the products the US imports from Kyrgyzstan. Additionally, global supply chains mean that even US-based companies often import components or finished goods from other countries. The focus of Kyrgyzstan's exports in these categories might also be in niche markets or specific types of these goods.
