The cease-fire lasts 90 days and\u2014if nothing derails it\u2014expires August 12. The deal sliced tariffs from both sides to levels low enough to calm markets but still above pre\u2011war norms. In the meantime, a U.S. court ruling on May 28 questioned the president\u2019s power to levy blanket duties, while the White House doubled Section 232 steel-and-aluminum tariffs for good measure.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Clearly, volatility is still the name of the game, and founders need a plan. In this article, let\u2019s break down where the 2025 tariff war stands now, what\u2019s still in force and how startups can survive\u2014and even thrive\u2014before the 90-day clock runs out.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>From triple\u2011digit tariffs to a 10% baseline<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>How we got here in two minutes:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>1.<\/strong> <strong>April 2-9, Tariff Liberation Week<\/strong>: A universal 10\u202f% U.S. import tariff lands, then rockets to a China\u2011only 145\u202f% after rapid-fire escalations.

The negotiation resulted in a temporary 90-day truce and brought down the U.S. rate on Chinese goods to 30% and China\u2019s rate on U.S. goods to 10%.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>3.

Meanwhile, Washington doubles Section 232 steel and aluminum duties, signaling the tariff toolkit is still within easy reach.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>What remains in force during the 90\u2011Day window<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Several key measures still shape cross\u2011border costs during the cease\u2011fire:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>\u200b\u200b\u200b\u200b<strong>10% \u201cuniversal\u201d tariff<\/strong>:<strong> <\/strong>Every import into the U.S. still has to pay it\u2014so even components sourced from, say, Mexico or Vietnam will inherit the levy.

As per the Conference Board\u2019s Consumer Confidence survey, consumer confidence <a href=\"https:\/\/www.investopedia.com\/consumers-breath-sigh-of-relief-on-u-s-china-tariff-pullback-11742253?utm_source=chatgpt.com\">increased by 12.3 points in May to 98.0<\/a>, hinting shoppers may open their wallets again.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Retail margins<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>A jump from 145\u202f% to 30\u202f% duties doesn\u2019t erase pain, but it does stop the bleeding. Big-box retailers, previously squeezed by rising costs, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ainvest.com\/news\/tariff-truce-brings-relief-invest-trade-sensitive-sectors-2505\/\">have started recovering their profit margins<\/a>, which could mean fewer price hikes at stores.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Businesses remain cautious<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Even with lower duties, no one\u2019s calling this a victory lap.

Companies recognize that tariffs could quickly revert, disrupting supply chains once again.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Supply chains<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>While businesses welcome lower tariffs, they\u2019re not simply reverting to old supply chains. Instead, many are <a href=\"https:\/\/www.foxbusiness.com\/economy\/retailers-shift-supply-chains-reduce-risks-from-trumps-tariffs-china?utm_source=chatgpt.com\">shifting production to alternative countries<\/a> like India, Vietnam and Indonesia.

Real-time supply chain tracking, predictive analytics and diversified logistics services are hot areas for innovation.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Growth in regulatory technology (RegTech)<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>With tariff codes shifting weekly, automated compliance is no longer a nice\u2011to\u2011have. The ever-shifting status quo has created a compliance headache for companies, which <a href=\"https:\/\/tax.thomsonreuters.com\/blog\/navigating-the-new-wave-of-tariffs-strategies-for-resilience-during-uncertain-times\/\">created opportunities for RegTech startups<\/a> offering automated tariff and trade compliance software.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Cybersecurity and risk management<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Heightened geopolitical tensions mean <a href=\"https:\/\/www.secureworld.io\/industry-news\/trade-wars-us-tariffs-cyber-risk?utm_source=chatgpt.com\">higher cybersecurity risks<\/a>. Startups providing cybersecurity and risk management solutions are experiencing increased demand, helping companies protect critical infrastructure from escalating threats. As per Crunchbase, the global VC funding for cybersecurity startups <a href=\"https:\/\/news.crunchbase.com\/cybersecurity\/venture-funding-up-q1-2025-wiz-ninjaone\/\">ticked up 29% to US$2.7 billion in Q1 2025<\/a>, reversing a prior decline.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Three possible paths after August 12, 2025<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>With the status quo shifting constantly, all eyes now turn to what happens when the clock hits zero. Three outcomes now dominate board-room scenarios:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Deal\u2011lite extension\u2014the cautious optimism scenario<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Most sell\u2011side economists, including <a href=\"https:\/\/www.goldmansachs.com\/insights\/articles\/us-stocks-are-forecast-to-rally-amid-china-tariff-discussions\">Goldman Sachs<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/privatebank.jpmorgan.com\/eur\/en\/insights\/markets-and-investing\/tmt\/us-china-tariff-truce-what-investors-need-to-know\">JP Morgan<\/a>, think Washington and Beijing will extend the cease\u2011fire and lock in the 10% baseline. In this case, both capitals declare victory, deeper issues are punted and startups gain cost predictability\u2014albeit with permanently higher landed prices.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Snap\u2011back\u2014the whiplash scenario<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>If talks collapse or negotiations stall, the White House might <a href=\"https:\/\/www.capitaleconomics.com\/blog\/trade-truce-or-just-pause-fragile-state-us-china-relations#:~:text=One%20of%20the%20most%20immediate,rate%20by%207%20percentage%20points\">reinstate its April tariff stack<\/a>, and China mirrors. Importers may once again face the 145\u202f% U.S. duty and a 125\u202f% Chinese counter\u2011duty; Washington\u2019s metals surcharges sit on top. With the tariff war roaring back, it\u2019s likely to see more emergency price hikes, margin triage and last\u2011minute supply\u2011chain moves.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Legal reset\u2014the wild-card scenario<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>If the Federal Circuit affirms the Court of International Trade, the universal tariff could be struck down for good. That means U.S. Customs will suspend tariff collection, sending duties on most partners back toward pre-war levels, while Section 301 China duties stay in force. It is likely that Congress will scramble to craft a narrower tool, creating months of policy limbo.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Meanwhile, import costs will drop, supply\u2011chain congestion eases and some manufacturing drifts back to China\u2014but the uncertainty keeps founders on edge.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Bottom line for startups: Plan for volatility to linger<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Tariff war 2025 isn\u2019t over\u2014it\u2019s idling. In this landscape, investing in robust supply chain solutions, regulatory compliance technologies and cybersecurity should be top priorities for founders. Moreover, startups should proactively diversify their markets and supply sources beyond the U.S.-China axis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The current truce offers a strategic opportunity\u2014a brief window for startups to strengthen their foundations and innovate. Use the pause to shore up supply\u2011chain redundancies, revisit pricing and build tariff clauses into new contracts. Whether August ends in relief or renewed hostilities, founders who are well-prepared today will sleep better when the 90\u2011day alarm goes off.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Also read:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.jumpstartmag.com\/how-to-future-proof-your-business\/\">How to Future-Proof Your Business<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.jumpstartmag.com\/supply-chain-intelligence\/\">Supply Chain Intelligence<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.jumpstartmag.com\/top-5-ai-cybersecurity-companies-to-watch\/\">Top 5 AI Cybersecurity Companies to Watch<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Header Image from Unsplash<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>For startups, the headline is simple: landed costs are lower today than in April, but nowhere near 2017 levels\u2014and volatility isn\u2019t gone.
