US tariff decision relief


Without modifications in the import regime, the possibilities of Spain to sell footwear in the USA are increased.
​Spanish footwear points to its reactivation, thanks to the continuity in commercial relations with the United States, after the decision of this country to deactivate the retaliation against the digital tax claimed by Europe.

The measure established by the US government as compensation for this tax for companies in that country was totally suspended. This means the cancellation of the 25% increase in tariffs on certain European products, which was ratified in an agreement with five European countries, including Spain.

In this sense, the 12 tariff items included in the Spanish footwear sector will not be affected by this tax, taken as a threat against the Tax on Certain Digital Services of large US companies, such as Google, Apple, Facebook or Amazon.
