JAKARTA - Malaysia, along with four other ASEAN member countries, namely Cambodia, the Philippines, Thailand and Indonesia, are now subject to a 19 percent tariff by the United States (US) which is effective on August 8, 2025.
The policy was based on the order of US President Donald Trump issued by the White House on July 31, 2025, as reported by ANTARA, Friday, August 1.
Earlier on July 7, Washington announced it would impose a 25 percent tariff on all Malaysian products entering the country, apart from sectoral rates, which take effect from August 1 this year, or one percentage point higher than announced in April.
Meanwhile, Vietnam faces a slightly higher rate of 20 percent, followed by Brunei by 25 percent.
