President Donald Trump has paused for the next three months some of the tariffs he imposed on other countries but Washington state commerce leaders have released resources and guidance to help business owners navigate a volatile trade market. 

The Washington State Tariff Information and Resource Guide includes basic information about what tariffs are and how they differ from other duty fees, steps and strategies business owners can implement to limit impacts and webinars and training opportunities. 

There are also resources such as a tariff tracker and tools to build export plans. 

“Washington is one of the most trade-exposed states, and our intent is that this guide will help businesses better understand and respond to the impacts of these tariffs” said Commerce Director Joe Nguyễn in a statement. “Our business community needs all the help it can get navigating these obstacles, and Commerce is committed to helping them succeed no matter what’s happening at the federal level.”
