On April 10, 2025, the Washington State Department of Commerce introduced a new online Tariff Information and Resource Guide to assist businesses in navigating the complexities of recently implemented federal tariffs. Recognizing that Washington is one of the most trade-exposed states, this initiative aims to help businesses understand and respond to the impacts of these tariffs on supply chains, costs, and international strategies.​Washington State Department of Commerce+1Washington State Department of Commerce+1Washington State Department of Commerce+1Washington State Department of Commerce+1

The guide offers comprehensive information on tariffs and the rates imposed on different countries, strategies to support business owners dealing with tariffs, training and support, and other resources and events. It serves as a one-stop shop to support businesses in Washington, providing export-related support from communities at the state and federal levels.​Washington State Department of Commerce+1Washington State Department of Commerce+1

Local organizations such as the Export Finance Assistance Center of Washington, the Tacoma-Pierce County Economic Development Board, and the Economic Alliance Snohomish County are also contributing information and assistance. The Department of Commerce, in collaboration with these entities, is dedicated to enhancing the resilience of businesses against the potential effects of tariffs.​Washington State Department of Commerce+1Washington State Department of Commerce+1
