~~US-Serbia~~ US-Seria tariff relief

In July 2026 the United States suspended the 35 % duty on most Serbian exports, setting the rate at zero for at least six months while a bilateral strategic dialogue proceeds. The suspension follows the dialogue launched on 18 July between U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio and Serbian Foreign Minister Marko Đurić, and a recent Supreme Court ruling that limited the Treasury’s authority to impose the original tariffs. Serbian President Aleksandar Vučić called the relief a “huge opportunity” for the economy, estimating hundreds of millions of dollars in new foreign investment and benefits for roughly 700 Serbian firms, mainly in metal processing, chemicals and auto‑parts. Finance Minister Siniša Mali and Trade Minister Jagoda Lazarević stressed that the zero‑tariff result from months of negotiation and is intended as a temporary measure; after the dialogue the duty could be adjusted to 10‑12 %. On 25 July 2026 the United States formally eliminated the 35 % duty, confirming the zero‑tariff period will run for at least six months and that the tariff may be set at 10‑12 % after the strategic dialogue concludes. The United States retains targeted restrictions on certain products, such as copper, over forced‑labour concerns. Analysts expect the relief to boost Serbian manufacturers’ competitiveness, improve Serbia’s credit rating, increase U.S. exports to Serbia and create jobs.
