As reported and analyzed in recent posts, the Trump administration has begun implementing a number of new tariffs, including three sets of country-based tariffs (China, Canada, and Mexico) and Section 232 tariffs on steel and aluminum. We expect further announcements of reciprocal tariffs on imports from China, Canada, and Mexico, and other tariffs on specific items including lumber, semiconductors, and agricultural products. These tariffs raise significant concerns for government contractors.  We have outlined below five points government contractors should keep in mind when assessing the impact of these tariffs on their contracts.
