As of Saturday, April 19, 2025, here's the latest information regarding tariffs related to Trinidad and Tobago: Trinidad and Tobago's Own Tariffs: Average Tariff Rates: In 2022, the simple average tariff across all products imposed by Trinidad and Tobago was 9.02%, while the trade-weighted average tariff was 7.51%. The maximum tariff rate on any product was 78.84%.   Duty-Free Imports: In 2022, Trinidad and Tobago had $3,339.4 million in duty-free imports, representing 47.37% of all tariff lines.   Common External Tariff (CET): As a member of the Caribbean Community (CARICOM), Trinidad and Tobago applies the CARICOM Common External Tariff (CET) on goods imported from outside the CARICOM region. The CET can have import tariffs of up to 20% on some goods. Certain items like books, CDs, computer hardware and software, and scanners enter tariff-free under the CET. Some items like auto parts, DVD players, and jewelry face a 30% tariff.   Recent Changes: There have been recent legal notices regarding the CET, including orders for increases and suspensions of duties. For example, Legal Notice No. 364 of 2023 suspended some CET duties. United States Tariffs on Imports from Trinidad and Tobago: Caribbean Basin Trade Partnership Act (CBTPA): Trinidad and Tobago is a beneficiary country under the CBTPA. Goods that meet the rules of origin criteria under CBTPA are eligible for duty-free or reduced duty treatment when imported directly into the U.S.   Trump's "Reciprocal Tariffs": While the U.S. announced a baseline tariff of 10% on most imports and higher "reciprocal tariffs" for countries with trade imbalances, Trinidad and Tobago was listed with a "U.S.A. Discounted Reciprocal Tariff" of 10% in initial reports. This suggests that the U.S. tariffs applied to Trinidad and Tobago would likely be at this baseline level during the 90-day pause (excluding China, Hong Kong, and Macau).   Overall Low Tariffs: Data from 2022 indicates that the average tariff imposed by the United States on imports from Trinidad and Tobago was low (specific percentages vary by product), with many items entering duty-free. Key Trade Agreements for Trinidad and Tobago: Trinidad and Tobago participates in several trade agreements, both as a member of CARICOM and through bilateral arrangements. These include:   CARICOM Agreements: With countries like Venezuela, Colombia, Cuba, Dominican Republic, and Costa Rica.   Bilateral Agreements: With Panama.   Preferential Arrangements: Under the Caribbean Basin Economic Recovery Act (CBERA) with the United States. Economic Partnership Agreement (EPA): With the European Union (as part of CARIFORUM) and a separate agreement with the United Kingdom.   Bilateral Investment Treaties: With countries like the United States and Canada.   Finding Specific Tariff Rates: The TTBizLink portal has an HS Code & Tariff Finder tool where you can search for specific tariff rates applicable to goods imported into Trinidad and Tobago. You can search using the HS code or a product description.   The World Trade Organization (WTO) also provides tariff profiles and schedules for its members, including Trinidad and Tobago.   The U.S. Harmonized Tariff Schedule (HTS) outlines the specific duty rates for goods imported into the United States, including those from CBTPA beneficiary countries like Trinidad and Tobago.   In summary, as of April 2025, Trinidad and Tobago applies its own tariff schedule, influenced by the CARICOM CET. Goods from Trinidad and Tobago entering the U.S. generally benefit from low or zero tariffs under the CBTPA, and it appears the recent U.S. tariff actions have primarily resulted in the baseline 10% tariff for most goods from Trinidad and Tobago during the current pause. For precise tariff rates on specific products, it is best to consult the official tariff schedules and the TTBizLink portal.
