New Trump tariffs collection hits $200 billion, Customs says

The United States has collected more than $200 billion in tariffs this year as a result of new duties imposed by President Donald Trump since the beginning of 2025, the Customs and Border Protection agency said Monday.

The tally comes as the Supreme Court considers arguments that the new tariffs are illegal.

The $200 billion tally is only for the new tariffs, not for tariffs imposed during Trump’s first term in the White House. Those earlier tariffs do not face legal challenges, as the new tariffs do.

Trump earlier this year unilaterally imposed, without congressional authorization, what he calls reciprocal tariffs on imports from most of the world’s nations.

He also imposed “fentanyl tariffs” on products from Canada, China and Mexico, in retaliation for what he said was those countries’ failure to stem the flow of that deadly narcotic into the United States.

“Between Jan. 20 and Dec. 15, 2025, U.S. Customs and Border Protection collected more than $200 billion in tariffs thanks to more than 40 executive orders put in place by President Donald Trump’s Administration,” CBP said, in a statement.

“This figure underscores CBP’s effectiveness in promoting secure, fair, and compliant trade, strengthening America’s national and economic security.”

In November, tariff collections declined for the first time since Trump announced his broad new tariffs in April. The government collected $30.75 billion in tariffs last month, a slight drop from the $31.15 billion collected in October.
