#TariffsPause

TariffsPause" likely refers to a temporary suspension or halt on tariffs, which are taxes imposed on imported or exported goods. Governments may pause tariffs to ease economic pressure, encourage trade, or support specific industries. This could be part of trade negotiations, economic relief measures, or diplomatic efforts.

3. COVID-19 Related Tariff Waivers (2020-2022)
