The U.S. signed a series of new trade agreements with Malaysia, Thailand, Cambodia, and Vietnam, aimed at reducing trade imbalances, expanding market access, and strengthening regional economic partnerships across Southeast Asia.

The new reciprocal trade frameworks commit all four partner countries to reduce tariff and non-tariff barriers, enhance digital trade and investment, and promote labor and environmental protections. The U.S. will maintain tariffs of 19–20% on exports from these countries, with reductions to zero for certain goods as implementation proceeds.

While these trade deals have been formally announced by the White House and the Office of the U.S. Trade Representative (USTR), no executive orders or U.S. Customs guidance has been released to operationalize any tariff or procedural changes.

Mallory Alexander will continue to monitor U.S. Customs and Border Protection and Federal Register updates for any forthcoming regulations or guidance related to these agreements. We will share further updates once official implementation details are published.
