Donald Trump holds up his list of reciprocal tariffs by country on Liberation Day
U.S. President Donald Trump holds up a chart of "reciprocal tariffs" while speaking during a “Make America Wealthy Again” trade announcement event in the Rose Garden at the White House on April 2, 2025 in Washington, DC. President Trump issued a 90-day pause on the tariffs, with the exception of China, on April 9.Chip Somodevilla—Getty Images

President Trump announced reciprocal tariffs for over 180 countries on April 2, an announcement he called “Liberation Day.” Just one week (and plenty of market mayhem) later, on April 9, Trump hit the snooze button on his tariffs rollout, giving countries a 90-day reprieve, instead imposing a blanket levy of 10% across the board except for China, which he hit with a 125% tariff “effective immediately.” (One day later, the White House clarified its tariff rate on Chinese imports is actually 145%.)

While China and the U.S. trade barbs and tit-for-tat tariffs, many are anxiously awaiting the new deadline for when the rest of the world’s reciprocal tariffs will kick in.

Given how many purchases could get significantly more expensive after the new deadline—that is Tuesday, July 8—we’ve created a list of things you might want to consider buying before you see prices go up, noting some of the countries that play a role in producing them and their corresponding tariff percentage once the 90-day pause is up. We’ve also bolded the items China directly contributes to producing as you’ll likely see price increases for those sooner rather than later.

In terms of methodology, Fortune collected consumer spending data from U.S. government agencies like the Bureau of Labor Statistics and the Bureau of Economic Analysis to compile what goods Americans spend the most money on. We then cross-referenced those categories with U.S. import data and statistics from the World Bank and the U.S. International Trade Commission, and then looked at supply chains for these products—particularly where they’re assembled and manufactured. We then prioritized the list of countries based on the prices that are most likely to spike—Asian countries, not surprisingly, are dominant in many categories.
