The Trump administration announced on Wednesday that it would impose a 25% tariff on all imported beer and include beer and empty aluminum cans in the list of derivative products subject to aluminum tariffs. According to information from the US Department of Commerce in a Federal Register notice, tariffs on beer and empty aluminum cans will take effect from April 4. Data from the US Census Bureau showed that the import value of beer in the US exceeded $7.5 billion in 2024. The primary source of imports was Mexico, with an import value of $6.3 billion last year, followed by the Netherlands, Ireland, and Canada. This move will deal a significant blow to beer imports.
