Forbes Media chairman Steve Forbes analyzes what President Donald Trump’s reciprocal tariff announcement means for U.S. companies on ‘The Bottom Line.’

The U.S. Chamber of Commerce warned in a brand new letter to the Trump administration that small companies want automated exclusions from tariffs that would undermine their capability to outlive.

The Chamber wrote Thursday to Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent, Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick and U.S. Commerce Consultant Jamieson Greer to convey their issues about small companies’ capability to deal with the monetary hit of tariffs and name for small companies to be excluded from the tariffs, in addition to different tariff reduction measures.

The letter mentioned the Chamber and its members “appreciate your efforts to negotiate bilateral agreements with other nations to achieve zero-for-zero reciprocity on tariffs and reduce non-tariff barriers to trade,” saying such offers would increase U.S. exports, assist extra jobs and better wages.

“While we are hopeful these agreements can be reached quickly, we are deeply concerned that even if it only takes weeks or months to reach agreements, many small businesses will suffer irreparable harm. The Chamber is hearing from small business owners every day who are seeing their ability to survive endangered by the recent increase in tariff rates,” it wrote in explaining the necessity for tariff reduction.

The Chamber requested the Trump administration “take immediate action to save America’s small businesses and stave off a recession” by taking three actions on tariffs utilizing its authority.

The primary of these could be an automated exclusion for small enterprise importers, because the Chamber contends that small companies “do not have the margin or capital reserves to sustain the increased tariffs, nor do they have the ability to quickly modify supply chains.”

The second motion requested by the Chamber is automated tariff exclusions for merchandise that may’t be sourced within the U.S. or will not be available from home sources to guard companies and shoppers from increased prices. Such gadgets which might be presently uncovered to tariffs embody espresso, bananas, cocoa and sure minerals, whereas the request additionally applies to “many other bespoke industrial inputs critical to American manufacturers.”

The third tariff coverage request is for a course of for companies to “expeditiously obtain exclusions in situations where the company can demonstrate that, as applied, the tariff imposes significant risks to U.S. employment.” The letter famous that over 40 million American jobs depend on commerce and that it is “imperative” to guard and develop these jobs to drive financial development and prosperity.

“The Chamber supports many of the President’s policy goals, including eliminating unfair trade and non-trade barriers, and driving American investment,” Suzanne Clark, president and CEO of the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, mentioned in a press release. “At the same time, we have heard from a historic number of small businesses who have made it clear: they need immediate relief from tariffs.”

“As each day goes by, small businesses are increasingly endangered by higher costs and interrupted supply chains that will cause irreparable harm,” she mentioned. “We applaud the administration’s efforts to negotiate as many new trade agreements as possible that expand market access for U.S. companies and benefit American workers, but these deals take time, and many businesses simply can’t afford to wait while negotiations proceed.”

“This will be the most pro-small business tax bill in American history. And at the same time, this is what you have to understand about the plan, is as they’re able to do that, as they’re able to reshore those supply chains, that also means they’ll pay no tariff. So you’ll have the lowest tax environment and there’ll be no tariff because their production and supply chains will be in the United States,” Miller mentioned.
