United States President Donald Trump signed an executive order on July 7 extending certain tariff rates until Aug. 1. Under the order, Kazakhstan will face a new 25% reciprocal tariff.

The same tariff would apply to Japan, Malaysia, South Korea, and Tunisia. Higher rates would apply to other countries, with 30% on South Africa and Bosnia and Herzegovina, rising to 32% for Indonesia, 35% for Serbia and Bangladesh, 36% for Cambodia and Thailand, and peaking at 40% for Laos and Myanmar.

Trump sent letters to Kazakhstan and other nations informing them of their new tariff rates, which will take effect on Aug. 1, he announced on the Truth Social platform. The decision was made based on recommendations from senior officials and ongoing trade negotiations.
