<h1>New 25% ad valorem tariff raising duties to 50% from Aug 27, 2025 creates immediate legal, trade, and currency risks</h1> A business analytics report warns of immediate legal and trade risk from a foreign government's additional 25% ad valorem tariff (raising duties to 50% effective Aug. 27, 2025) on imports tied to designated purchases, noting ongoing bilateral negotiations that could mitigate the measure. The report highlights potential sectoral export disruptions and currency pressure absent a settlement, while a separate trade agreement with another partner eliminating tariffs on most exports may partially offset harm. Domestic regulatory and monetary actions-repo auction adjustments, liquidity management, and active currency intervention-are described as supportive but may not fully shield affected exporters and creditors.
