Goods made in Lesotho will once again enter the United States duty-free after Washington’s tariffs expired on 29 July. The restoration of duty-free access follows the expiry on 29 July of 122 tariffs that were imposed in February 2026, after the US Supreme Court struck down the Trump administration’s initial “reciprocal” tariffs. It also said Lesotho escaped a new round of US Section 301 tariffs imposed on 24 July on 60 countries, meaning the country will continue enjoying duty-free access. The trade agreement, which grants eligible African countries duty-free access to the US market, is due to expire on 31 December 2026 unless renewed. Lesotho is participating in those consultations in an effort to secure long-term market access and provide certainty to investors and buyers.
