U.S. tariff revenues surged to a record $16.3 billion in April 2025, as customs duties implemented under President Donald J. Trump’s trade policies began to take full effect, according to the Treasury Department. The figure represents an 86 percent jump from March’s $8.75 billion and more than double the $7.1 billion collected during the same month last year. The increase follows the introduction of a 10 percent across-the-board tariff on foreign imports beginning April 2, adding to previously established duties. The year-to-date total for tariff receipts now stands at $63.3 billion, an 18 percent rise compared to the same period in 2024.
