Implications

As of Saturday, April 19, 2025, the tariff situation for goods imported from Turkmenistan into the United States is as follows: General Baseline Tariff: Effective April 10, 2025, a flat 10% tariff applies to imports from most countries, including Turkmenistan. This was implemented as a 90-day pause on the higher "reciprocal tariffs" that were announced earlier in April. No Specific "Reciprocal Tariff": Turkmenistan was not among the countries targeted for higher, country-specific reciprocal tariffs based on trade imbalances. Therefore, the 125% tariff applied to China, Hong Kong, and Macau does not affect goods from Turkmenistan. Pre-existing Tariffs: It's important to note that this new 10% tariff is in addition to any pre-existing tariffs that might have been in place for specific categories of goods from Turkmenistan. To find the specific tariff rate for a particular good imported from Turkmenistan, you would need to consult the Harmonized System (HS) code for that product and the Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTS US). Resources like the World Trade Organization (WTO) tariff database or the U.S. Customs and Border Protection website can provide detailed information. US-Turkmenistan Trade Relationship: The United States and Turkmenistan have a most-favored-nation (MFN) trade agreement. This generally means that goods from Turkmenistan are subject to the same standard tariff rates as goods from other MFN countries (now the 10% baseline in most cases).   In 2024, the total value of U.S. goods imports from Turkmenistan was relatively small, totaling $14.6 million. The main categories of goods imported from Turkmenistan by the U.S. in recent years include: Carbon Centrifuges Antiques Certain chemical products The U.S. exported significantly more goods to Turkmenistan in 2024, amounting to $82.2 million. Top U.S. exports to Turkmenistan include: Meat and edible meat offal (primarily poultry) Machinery, nuclear reactors, boilers Optical, photo, technical, medical apparatus In conclusion, the primary tariff rate currently affecting most goods imported from Turkmenistan to the United States is 10%, as part of the temporary pause on higher reciprocal tariffs. You would need to check the specific HS code for any particular product to determine if any additional pre-existing tariffs apply. The overall trade volume between the two countries is modest.

US Negotiation Strategy

Based on the most recent data (primarily from 2024 and early 2025), the top imports to the US from Turkmenistan by value are: Fertilizers ($10.42 Million) Commodities not specified according to kind ($3.21 Million) Works of art, collectors' pieces and antiques ($939.22 Thousand) Inorganic chemicals, precious metal compound, isotope ($658.97 Thousand) Electrical, electronic equipment ($259.69 Thousand) Here's a look at which states in the US have manufacturing capabilities for similar products, along with some example companies: Fertilizers: Louisiana: A major hub for chemical and fertilizer production due to its access to natural gas and the Mississippi River for transportation. Mosaic Company: Operates fertilizer production facilities in Louisiana. Nutrien: Has fertilizer production sites in the state. Florida: Significant in phosphate mining and fertilizer production. Mosaic Company: Also has operations in Florida.   CF Industries: Runs fertilizer plants in Florida. Texas: Has a substantial chemical industry that includes fertilizer manufacturing. OCI Global: Operates a large methanol and ammonia plant in Beaumont, TX, key ingredients for some fertilizers. Inorganic Chemicals: This is a broad category, but several states have strong chemical manufacturing sectors: Texas: The leading state in chemical production in the US. Dow Chemical: Has significant operations in Texas.   ExxonMobil Chemical: A major player in the Texas chemical industry.   Louisiana: Second-largest chemical producer in the US. BASF: Has large chemical complexes in Louisiana.   Westlake Chemical: Operates extensively in Louisiana. Ohio: Has a significant manufacturing base in various chemicals. Lubrizol (Berkshire Hathaway company): Produces specialty chemicals in Ohio.   PPG Industries: Manufactures coatings and specialty materials.   Electrical and Electronic Equipment: California: A major center for technology and electronics manufacturing, particularly semiconductors and computer equipment. Tesla: Manufactures electric vehicles and related electronic components in California.   Apple: While primarily focused on design, some manufacturing and assembly of electronic devices occur in the US.   Texas: Has a growing technology and electronics manufacturing sector. Samsung Austin Semiconductor: Operates a large semiconductor fabrication plant in Austin, Texas. Dell Technologies: While headquartered in Texas, its manufacturing is global, but it has some US-based facilities. Massachusetts: Strong in electronics and high-tech manufacturing. Analog Devices: Designs and manufactures semiconductors. Raytheon Technologies: Produces electronics for aerospace and defense.   Works of art, collectors' pieces and antiques: This category is unique as it doesn't involve mass manufacturing in the traditional sense. However, states with significant artistic communities and antique markets include: New York: Home to a thriving arts scene in New York City and numerous antique shops and auction houses.   California: Has a large and diverse artistic community, particularly in Los Angeles and the Bay Area, and a significant market for art and antiques.   Pennsylvania: Especially Philadelphia, has a rich history and a strong presence in the arts and antiques.   It's important to note that while these states and companies have the capacity to produce similar types of goods, the specific grades, qualities, and types of these imports from Turkmenistan might have unique characteristics or serve niche markets within the US. The scale of domestic production might also differ significantly from the volume of imports.
