Global tariff developments have been frequent this week, with policy adjustments by multiple countries and regions attracting widespread attention.

The UK and South Korea have officially reached an upgraded trade agreement, ensuring that 98% of goods enjoy duty-free access to each other’s markets, which helps industries such as automotive and pharmaceuticals reduce trade costs and standardize rules of origin.

China has imposed anti-dumping tariffs on pork imports from the EU, with a composite tax rate ranging from 4.9% to 19.8% for a five-year period. As a protective measure against the EU’s low-price dumping practices, this adjustment will impact the landscape of EU meat exports to China.

The EU has also announced a new tariff policy: starting from July 1, 2026, a fixed tariff of 3 euros will be levied on cross-border small parcels worth less than 150 euros.

For foreign trade and cross-border logistics enterprises, timely tracking of policy trends in various countries and strengthening compliance risk control will be the key to adapting to market changes and consolidating competitive advantages.
