The U.S. will begin applying increased tariff rates from 1 August, according to Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick.
He said President Donald Trump is currently finalising the specific rates and agreements.
Earlier this year, the U.S. introduced reciprocal tariffs on most trading partners but paused them for 90 days starting 9 April to allow negotiations.
