On the heels of Wednesday’s 38% tariff imposed by the United States on imports from Guyana—and amid possible plans to negotiate – the government here has said that several key exports have been exempted from the high duties now in effect.
Crude petroleum, aluminum ore, and gold—three of Guyana’s top exports—have been spared from the tariff under an annex to the White House Executive Order signed by President Donald Trump on Wednesday.

While some goods have been exempted, others have not. Specifically, crude petroleum, aluminum ore, and gold—which collectively account for billions of U.S. dollars in exports to the U.S.—were excluded from the measure.


Only Gilbaka and Bangamary will have the 38% Tariff!
