Navigating Trade Wars: Clyde & Co’s Tariff Tracker

Latest updates on tariffs announced by jurisdictions around the world

Clyde & Co introduces a tariff tracker to provide updates on all trade restrictions around the world.


Clyde & Co’s tariff tracker provides an overview of all trade restrictions imposed or announced by the US and against the US. The tracker will be updated by our offices across the globe as new measures are introduced.

These are testing times for international trade. Just two weeks after US President Donald Trump’s inauguration for his second term, the US announced plans for a slew of new tariffs intended to target the US’s three largest trading partners: Canada, Mexico and China. In response, Canada Mexico, and China have announced their own plans for retaliatory tariffs on US imports.

It seems that the stage is set for a global trade war.
