US Customs Duties Top $100 Billion for First Time in A Fiscal Year
WASHINGTON, July 11 (Reuters) – U.S. customs duty collections surged again in June as President Donald Trump's tariffs gained steam, topping $100 billion for the first time during a fiscal year and helping to produce a surprise $27 billion budget surplus for the month, the Treasury Department reported on Friday. The budget data showed that tariffs are starting to build into a significant revenue contributor for the federal government, with customs duties in June hitting new records, quadrupling to $27.2 billion on a gross basis and $26.6 billion on a net basis after refunds. The budget results are likely to reinforce Trump's view of tariffs as a lucrative revenue sourceand as a hammer to enforce non-trade foreign policy. He said on Tuesday that 'the big money' would start to flow in after he imposes higher 'reciprocal' tariffs on U.S. trading partners on August 1. U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent said on X that the results show the U.S. 'reaping the rewards' from Trump's tariff agenda. 'As President Trump works hard to take back our nation's economic sovereignty, today's Monthly Treasury Statement is demonstrating record customs duties – and with no inflation!' Bessent said. For the first nine months of fiscal 2025, the customs take reached records of $113.3 billion on a gross basis and $108 billion on a net basis, nearly double the prior-year collections. The government's fiscal year ends on Sept. 30. Based on those results, tariffs have now grown into the fourth-largest revenue source for the federal government, behind individual withheld receipts at $2.683 trillion for the fiscal year, non-withheld individual receipts at $965 billion and corporate taxes at $392 billion. In the space of roughly four months, tariffs as a share of federal revenue have more than doubled to around 5% from about 2% historically. The June budget surplus represented a turnaround from the $71 billion deficit in June 2024. The new tariff-related revenue helped boost total budget receipts last month by 13%, or $60 billion, to $526 billion, a record for that month, the Treasury said. Outlays in June fell 7%, or $38 billion, to $499 billion. But adjusting for calendar shifts of some revenue and benefit payments, it said there would have been a budget deficit of $70 billion in June along with a year-ago adjusted deficit of $143 billion. The overall year-to-date deficit, however, increased 5%, or $64 billion, to $1.337 trillion, as outlays rose for health care programs, Social Security retirement benefits, defense spending, debt interest and the Department of Homeland Security, the Treasury said. Receipts for the first nine months of the fiscal year rose 7%, or $254 billion, to a record $4.008 trillion, driven in part by withheld taxes from higher employment and wages, while outlays grew 6%, or $318 billion, to a record $5.346 trillion. The Treasury's interest costs on the national debt continued to grow, exceeding all other individual outlays at$921 billion for the first nine months of the fiscal year, up 6%, or $53 billion, from the year-ago period. But the Treasury's weighted average interest rate largely had stabilized at 3.3% at the end of June, up two basis points from a year ago, a Treasury official said. Bigger flow Bessent earlier this week suggested a steeper ramp-up in tariff collections, telling a cabinet meeting that calendar-year 2025 collections could grow to $300 billion by the end of December. At the June run rate, gross customs collections would hit $276.5 billion in six months' time, which means reaching Bessent's target would require some increases. Ernie Tedeschi, economics director of the Budget Lab at Yale University, said it may take more time for the tariff revenue to fully ramp up because businesses and consumers have sought to front run the duties by buying ahead. Once that effect fades and Trump implements higher 'reciprocal tariff' rates after an August 1 deadline, the Treasury may collect an extra $10 billion in tariffs per month, bringing the total to $37 billion, he said. 'I think there's a significant risk…that we get addicted to tariff revenue,' said Tedeschi, who served as a White House economic adviser during the Biden administration. He added that tariff income could fade over time as businesses and consumers adjust their behavior. But Trump this week has ratcheted up his tariff actions, announcing 50% levies on copper imports and goods from Brazil and a 35% tariff on Canadian goods, all due to start on August 1. The Trump administration is preparing more sector-based tariffs on semiconductors and pharmaceuticals.

India, Australia Trade Talks Hit Dairy, Wine Tariff Hurdles as Year-End Deadline Looms, Say Sources
NEW DELHI/CANBERRA, July 11 (Reuters) – India has rejected Australia's push for deeper tariff cuts on dairy and alcohol, hampering efforts to conclude the second phase of a trade pact by year-end, two Indian government sources said. An interim trade pact signed in 2022 lowered tariffs on a range of goods, but negotiations on a broader Comprehensive Economic Cooperation Agreement (CECA) covering goods, services and visas have slowed, with dairy and wine emerging as key sticking points, the sources said. The officials declined to be named as they were not authorized to speak to media on confidential trade talks. India's commerce ministry and Australia's Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade did not immediately respond to requests for comment. India's refusal to concede on politically sensitive dairy and agriculture products reflects mounting pressure from powerful farm groups, which is also shaping trade talks with other partners, including the United States. 'There is no question of agreeing to Australia's demands for further tariff cuts on dairy and wine,' a senior Indian official with direct knowledge of the talks with Australia told Reuters. 'It could have an impact on millions of farmers and our nascent wine industry and grape producers.' Farmer groups and politicians from Prime Minister Narendra Modi's home state Gujarat and grape-growing Maharashtra, along with the $35 billion alcoholic beverages industry, are strongly opposing any concessions, the official added. Under the interim pact, tariffs on Australian wine priced above $5 per 750ml bottle were cut to 100% from 150%, with a provision of a reduction to 50% over 10 years, while for bottles above $15, tariffs dropped to 75%, with a target of 25% in a decade. Australia is pushing to accelerate these cuts and gain better access for dairy products – including cheese, high- protein whey concentrate, lactose and processed items – currently taxed between 20% and 30%. 'We'd like to see a reduction in the price at which tariff reductions kick in and a speeding up of those reductions,' said Lee McLean, CEO of industry body Australian Grape & Wine, noting rising demand could benefit both Indian and Australian winemakers because they make different products. Even relatively affordable Australian wines, he added, can retail for over A$100 ($65.77) in India due to high tariffs and taxes, despite costing just A$10-15 at home. Karl Ellis of Dairy Australia said India's vast and culturally sensitive dairy sector limits mainstream exports, but niche products like high-protein whey, lactose, and select cheeses offer promise. 'Current tariffs are prohibitive,' he said, adding lower duties could help Australia tap into the $30-40 million market now served by European exporters. Despite the impasse, officials on both sides remain hopeful. India is open to offer cutting tariffs on non-agricultural goods, including industrial items, while seeking more access for services and visas, a second official said. The Australian Department of Foreign Affairs said the talks for CECA are backed by both prime ministers, and conclusion of the pact would boost two-way trade, while building a more resilient economic partnership.

Russian Foreign Minister Arrives in North Korea, KCNA Says
SEOUL, July 12 (Reuters) – Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov arrived in North Korea on Friday, North Korea's state media KCNA said on Saturday, the latest visit by a senior Russian official to the isolated state amid warming ties between the countries. Lavrov's visit, scheduled to Sunday, includes a meeting between the countries' foreign ministers, KCNA reported. Lavrov flew out of the Malaysian capital Kuala Lumpur following the ASEAN foreign ministers' meeting and arrived in Wonsan, North Korea's eastern coastal city, which is home to a recently opened resort and known for its missile and naval facilities. Lavrov's visit is the latest high-level meeting between the two countries amid a dramatic upgrading of their strategic cooperation that now includes a mutual defence pact. The South Korean intelligence service has said North Korea may be preparing to deploy additional troops in July or August, after sending more than 10,000 soldiers to fight with Russia in the war against Ukraine. North Korea has agreed to dispatch 6,000 military engineers and builders for reconstruction in Russia's Kursk region, where Ukrainian forces launched a mass cross-border incursion nearly a year ago. Russian news agencies also reported Lavrov's arrival and said after North Korea he is expected to travel to China to attend the Shanghai Cooperation Organisation meeting, which is set to take place on Monday and Tuesday. Russia's state TASS news agency said Lavrov and his North Korean counterpart, Choi Son Hui, would discuss the 40-month-old Ukraine conflict and the situation on the Korean peninsula. TASS said the new coastal resort could boost Russian tourism to North Korea, citing the resumption of direct trains from Moscow to Pyongyang and a project to build a bridge across the Tumen River forming part of the boundary between North Korea, China and Russia. TASS quoted Deputy Russian Foreign Minister Andrei Rudenko as saying more high-level delegations would visit North Korea later this year. Rudenko said the accord on strategic partnership 'clearly meets the changing needs over recent decades and strengthens traditionally friendly, good-neighbourly Russian-Korean relations to a qualitatively new level as allies.'
