The European Commission has proactively addressed trade tensions with the United States by drafting a comprehensive list of products designated for tariff exemption. This initiative seeks to bypass the 15% import duties established under the EU-US trade agreement, ensuring that European high-quality goods remain competitive in the American market.

In a reciprocal move, the EU is calling on the United States to apply standard tariff rates to a wide range of Made in EU products.
