Record-breaking $27.7 tariff haul in July has Trump celebrating, but will it last?
Record US tariff revenue July 2025: US President Donald Trump is celebrating record tariff revenue, reaching $27.7 billion in July. While Trump hails this as a win, economists caution that American businesses and consumers are primarily bearing the costs. Tariffs constitute less than 10% of total government receipts, and the federal deficit continues to grow. Tired of too many ads?

Remove Ads Who's Really Paying the Tariffs? US Tariff Rate Heading to Historic High Tired of too many ads? Remove Ads FAQs US president Donald Trump is celebrating a record-breaking month for US tariff revenue due to the billions pouring into federal coffers as revenue supplied by importers hit another monthly record, as per a report. But economists and analysts are warning that the financial boost may be short-lived and that American businesses and consumers are footing most of the bill, as reported by Yahoo data released Tuesday by the Treasury Department shows the US collected $27.7 billion in customs duties in July, a new monthly record and a sharp jump from the $26.6 billion collected in June and $22.2 billion in May, as per the report. Just a year ago, monthly tariff collections hovered around $8 billion, according to Yahoo Finance. Altogether, tariff revenue for the current fiscal year has climbed to roughly $135.7 billion, with two months still to go before the government's fiscal year ends on September 30, as per Yahoo READ: Houthis spare Chinese car ships, but others aren't so lucky - here's the surprising reason In a post on Truth Social, Trump celebrated the milestone, calling the revenue "has been incredible for our Country, its Stock Market, its General Wealth, and just about everything else," as quoted in the report. He also took a swipe at Goldman Sachs, which has raised concerns about the long-term effects of his tariffs and disputed his repeated claim that foreign nations are the ones paying the duties, according to the Yahoo Finance the president's enthusiastic framing, a closer look at the numbers paints a more complicated picture, as per the tariffs brought in $27.7 billion last month, that sum accounted for less than 10% of total government receipts, which topped $338 billion in July, reported Yahoo Finance.

Rural India, small manufacturers lead FMCG growth in April-June; urban recovery gains momentum
Rural markets and small manufacturers led revival of packaged consumer goods in the April-June quarter, with India's villages outpacing growth in cities for the sixth consecutive quarter and growing twice as fast as cities, research firm NielsenIQ said in its quarter update on Wednesday. 'While urban recovery is gaining traction, particularly in smaller towns, rural demand remains the cornerstone of volume expansion,' Sharang Pant, head of FMCG customer success, NielsenIQ said. 'With inflation easing and a favourable monsoon forecast, the outlook for consumption remains optimistic,' he added. Finance Value and Valuation Masterclass - Batch 4 By CA Himanshu Jain View Program Artificial Intelligence AI For Business Professionals Batch 2 By Ansh Mehra View Program Finance Value and Valuation Masterclass - Batch 3 By CA Himanshu Jain View Program Artificial Intelligence AI For Business Professionals By Vaibhav Sisinity View Program Finance Value and Valuation Masterclass - Batch 2 By CA Himanshu Jain View Program Finance Value and Valuation Masterclass Batch-1 By CA Himanshu Jain View Program Volumes (or number of units sold) of FMCG products in India's villages grew almost 2x faster than that of cities in the June quarter. Rural markets grew 8.4% year-on-year (y-o-y) in the quarter, compared to urban markets which grew 4.6%, the NielsenIQ data said. The gap between cities and villages, however, narrowed, with urban markets indicating signs of sequential recovery, growing 2.6% by volumes, aided particularly by India's small towns, the researcher said. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Undo Overall, value sales grew 13.9% in the April-June quarter, aided by sustained rural demand and steady urban recovery, while volumes grew 6% y-o-y, with consumers preferring smaller packs. Makers of soap, tea, snacks and edible oils have noted in their June quarter earnings that favourable monsoons, income tax cuts and easing inflation are bringing about gradual recovery. India's largest consumer company, Hindustan Unilever , reported 4% volume growth for the April-June quarter, ahead of street expectations on both sales and profits. The maker of Dove soap and Brooke Bond tea attributed the growth to government incentives and a favourable monsoon forecast, pointing to a gradual earnings recovery. ITC, Godrej Consumer Products , Marico , Nestle and ITC too have indicated demand recovery in the coming quarters aided by a combination of marco factors. Live Events NielsenIQ also noted that e-commerce channels continued to grow in the top eight metros. 'The resurgence is primarily driven by smaller towns, while metropolitan areas continue to experience a decline in consumption owing to channel shift,' the NIQ report noted. 'Additionally, the rapid rise of small manufacturers outpacing overall industry growth highlights shifting market dynamics and intensifying competition,' Pant added. NielsenIQ, however, cautioned that sustaining this growth momentum would require deeper channel engagement and sharper, value-led propositions. 'The industry is entering a phase where agility and consumer-centric innovation will be critical to future success. Additionally, the rapid rise of small manufacturers outpacing overall industry growth highlights shifting market dynamics and intensifying competition,' Pant said. The sector also saw 7.4% increase in prices, with unit growth outpacing overall volume growth, indicating stronger consumer preference for smaller packs, NIQ said. Smaller manufacturers continued to drive FMCG consumption in Q2 2025, supported by steady volume growth across food and home and personal care categories on a lower base, backed by a combination of strong rural demand, and easing inflation which enabled small players to outperform overall industry growth. Resurgence of smaller, regional and D2C brands have been giving stiff competition to legacy companies across noodles, biscuits, tea and cosmetics, on lower pricing, faster innovation and last-mile reach enabled by quick commerce and e-commerce. E-commerce platforms, which include quick commerce, continued their upward trajectory, gaining ground on modern trade (MT) in eight metros, NIQ said in the report, adding that even though e-commerce accounts for just 11–13% of FMCG value share in metros, it's already delivering more than half of the omnichannel growth. 'Despite the pullback of quick commerce dark stores, Q2'25 consumption in e-commerce surged—driven by higher shopper penetration and consistent spending, even among new shoppers,' it said. The home and personal care categories led with 7.5% consumption growth, outpacing food which grew 5.5.% in the quarter.

Small businesses brace for the punishing side effects of Trump's tariffs
Katrina Golden , the owner of Lil Mama's Sweets & Treats, got an email this past spring from the Chinese company that supplies her branded paper coffee cups. Tariffs were coming, it said. If she placed a bulk order right away, she could lock in the price at the time of $225 a case. "I would have loved to," said Golden, whose coffee and cake shop operates out of a hospital in downtown Augusta, Georgia. But as a small-business owner, she didn't have that kind of extra cash. "My bottom line wouldn't allow me to." Across the country, American businesses, workers and families are trying to figure out how to navigate the economic waves stirred up by President Donald Trump's tariff, tax and budget policies. For large firms with big bank balances, workers ensconced in a job and households near the top of the income ladder, the drastic policy shifts will be easier to manage. But small-business owners like Golden as well as job seekers and households at the lower and middle rungs of the income ladder are in for a rougher ride. Smaller firms, for instance, not only have fewer resources to weather unexpected costs, they also lack the bargaining power of megastores like Walmart to pressure suppliers to lower prices. They may also lack access to lines of credit available to bigger firms. Nor can they afford long-term contracts that can keep costs down. Doug and Betsy Scheffel, owners of ETM Manufacturing, a custom sheet-metal fabrication and machine shop in Littleton, Massachusetts, have to buy aluminium and steel on the spot market. Since 50% tariffs have been slapped on those imported metals, their costs have soared. "I don't know how to put a business plan together that makes any sense to anyone," Scheffel said. Neither do many of his customers, who have delayed or reduced orders. Legrand Lindor, the owner of LMI Textiles , a small medical supply and manufacturing company in Milton, Massachusetts, said now not only did he have to handle the increase in prices, but his suppliers also expected him to handle the administration of customs, duty and taxes. Both he and Scheffel are members of Small Business for America's Future , a nonprofit membership group in Washington that has been complaining about unpredictable tariff policies. The group also worries about a ballooning national debt, cuts in health programs that small businesses and their families rely on and tax cuts that disproportionately benefit large corporations. Scheffel said he had trimmed his staff in anticipation of federal reductions in health care spending because they won't be able to afford either the insurance he offers or the public plan from Massachusetts. Increasing costs are hitting Golden, too. Overall, she figures the cost of her supplies and ingredients -- flour, parchment paper, napkins, paper plates, forks, butter, sugar, cream cheese, spices, plastic wrap -- is up 20% to 25% since January. Golden has about a 60-day supply of small coffee cups left, she said. She expects that the price of a case will rise to $300 or $400, from $225, for her next order. And it's not just foreign-made items. The clam shell containers for single-serve pieces of cake come from an American company. In January, a box of 500 was $55; now it is $69. A 5-pound bag of coffee beans from a local roaster in Augusta is $63, up from $55. And with a new 50% tariff on Brazil, one of the largest coffee exporters, she expects prices to rise even further. Higher costs and unpredictability are rippling through the labor market. "I would hire two more today if I knew that I could afford to keep them," said Golden, who employs four people. But with whipsaw policy changes, "how do you plan?" Companies, for the most part, aren't cutting jobs, but they aren't adding many either. And workers, even those fortunate enough to have secure positions, are cautious. Surveys show that more of them are choosing to stay put rather than take the risk of changing employers. "Employers are kind of putting hiring on hold," said Daniel Hornung, a senior fellow at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, who was an economic adviser to President Joe Biden. "There's not much churn in the job market." At the moment, consumers face an overall average effective tariff rate of 18.6%, according to the Yale Budget Lab, up from 2.4% in January. Ryan Sweet, chief economist at Oxford Economics, wrote in a newsletter that under the president's trade policies and budget priorities, high-income consumers are doing well but lower-income households are struggling. Oxford estimated that households in the bottom fifth of the income ladder will see their real disposable income decrease by 2.5% to 3% because of higher prices caused by tariffs and cuts to health and social programs. Juicy tax cuts for the richest Americans mean the income of the top fifth will increase by the same amount. The squeeze is playing out at Lil Mama's. Golden's weekly net revenue once averaged $2,500 to $3,000. Recently, she has been struggling to make $2,000. If something doesn't change within the next three months, she said, she will have to raise prices. Fifty cents to $1 more on a small $3 cup of coffee; $5 instead of $3 for a serving of red velvet cheesecake or banana pudding cake. "If we fail," Golden said, "that's it. There's no fallback."
