<h1>Tariff adjustments ease proposed levies for some Asian exporters, but deadline-driven negotiations leave widespread trade uncertainty.</h1> The United States negotiated reductions in threatened higher import levies for select Asian exporters in exchange for market-access concessions, creating differentiated tariff rates and conditional reciprocal arrangements. Negotiations remain subject to deadlines and extensions, with some partners securing agreements while others face standing or escalating tariff schedules. The resulting uncertainty and layered tariff regimes are expected to raise costs for manufacturers and consumers, disrupt supply chains, and weigh on regional growth forecasts.
