Home appliances swept up in expansion of Trump steel tariffs
Jun 12, 2025 2:44 PM

(Reuters) -A range of imported household appliances including dishwashers, washing machines, refrigerators and more will be subject to President Donald Trump's expanded steel tariffs starting later this month, according to a notice posted on Thursday.

The tariffs, which are currently at 50% for most countries, would take effect on an additional range of "steel derivative products" on June 23, the Commerce Department said in the notice.

It is the second time since Trump initially ratcheted up tariffs on imported steel and aluminum, first to 25% starting in March and then to 50% this month, that his administration has expanded the list of derivative products affected by the import levies. Just before the first round of duties was set to take effect in March, they added nearly 300 product categories covering everything from horseshoes to bulldozer blades to the tariffs list.

This time eight product lines were added: combined refrigerator-freezers; small and large dryers; washing machines; dishwashers; chest and upright freezers; cooking stoves, ranges and ovens; food waste disposals; and welded wire racks.

"The tariff imposed ... will be assessed on these derivative products for the value of the steel content in each product," the Federal Register posting said.
