Which goods are exempted from the new 10 per cent tariff so far?

Question

Accepted Answer

Oil and gas, fertilisers, aircraft and parts, critical minerals and certain food items are exempted so far.

Some goods are excluded from the new 10 per cent tariff, including oil and gas, fertilisers, aircraft and parts, critical minerals and certain food items. Exports that already face national security tariffs under Section 232, such as autos, steel, aluminium and copper, will not be hit with an additional levy under this new measure.
Oil and gas, fertilisers and aircraft-related goods are among the named exemptions.

These are specifically listed as exempt from the 10 per cent tariff. Aircraft parts are also included in the exemption list, alongside aircraft itself.
Critical minerals and certain food items are also outside the new levy.

The tariff does not apply to critical minerals or to certain food items at this stage. No further breakdown of those food items is given.
Section 232 goods will not be charged again under the new rule.

Autos, steel, aluminium and copper are already subject to national security tariffs under Section 232. Because of that, they will not face an additional levy under the latest regulation.
Palm oil was mentioned separately as a possible exception to the exemption list.

Palm oil exports to the US, worth about RM2 billion a year, were said to be potentially subject to the 10 per cent tariff. That means palm oil was not confirmed as exempt in the same way as the other listed goods.
