The impact of duties onItaly It would not be laughable. As reported by Republica, a Prometheia report has drawn up a projection that speaks clearly. In 2024 Italy paid $ 1.9 billion for goods sold in the USA. In the event of 10 percent taxes, the additional cost would have risen by over 4 billion, therefore almost 6 billion, in the event that this level was applied to the goods already subjected to a customs rate. To over 7 billion, then reaching 9 billion, instead in the case of generalized increases on all Italian exports to the USA. With 25 percent duties, the account would reach almost 19 billion, 18.6 to be precise. Let’s talk about the current account ten times. If the rates took only on the car and metallurgy sectors, there would be a value close to 4 billion, therefore about 2 billion more than the current one.
In the past few hours the alarm of Coldiretti: a 25 percent duty on agro -food exports made in Italy in the USA could cost American consumers up to 2 billion euros more, with a safe fall of sales. As highlighted by the Association, if the duties were to affect the entire agri -food, the estimated cost for the individual chains would be almost 500 million only for wine, about 240 million for olive oil, 170 million for pasta, 120 million for cheeses. A Maxi-Stangata For Rome, which obviously would record a reduction of purchases from stars and stripes consumers. “The imposition of duties on our exports would obviously open a worrying scenario, all the more in consideration of the importance that the US market has for our agri -food productions and not only” the words of the president of Coldiretti Ettore Prandini: “In the USA the Italian agri -food has grown in value of 17% against a drop of 3.6% of the general exports, confirming once again that Italian food is a symbol of the economy of the country. For this reason we believe that all the necessary diplomatic actions must be put in place to avoid a commercial war that would damage European and American citizens and companies “.
