Core Insights - The U.S. has imposed a 50% import tariff on certain steel-based home appliances, effective June 23, which includes washing machines, dishwashers, refrigerators, ovens, dryers, freezers, kitchen garbage disposers, and welding racks. This tariff applies globally, with the exception of the UK, which faces a 25% additional tax.
