The tariffs -- which are paid in the first instance by US importers -- will likely push up the price of many household items in the United States and reduce consumers' spending power.
The US imports a growing share of the fresh fruits and vegetables consumed each year, according to the US Department of Agriculture (USDA).
But other goods will be hit by the stinging duties set to come into effect this month.
Coffee -- around 80 percent of which is imported, according to the USDA -- is likely to see a price increase, given that top exporters Brazil and Colombia will also face the new baseline 10 percent rate.
And Thai jasmine rice and Indian basmati rice will face tariffs of 36 percent and 26 percent respectively, while Indian shrimp -- which the US imports large quantities of -- will face the same 26 percent rate.
Consumer electronics are also set to be hit with steep tariffs this month, given how many of products are manufactured or assembled in India and China.
Apple analyst Ming-Chi Kuo predicted that US buyers of high-end iPhones, who account for as much as 70 percent of sales, are “relatively more accepting of price increases.”
Shoes, clothes
The new tariffs announced Wednesday mean imports to the United States from China and Vietnam will be taxed at 54 percent and 46 percent respectively.
The think tank calculated that the overall effect on prices of the tariffs announced so far was equivalent to an average per household consumer loss of $3,800.
“The operation is over,“ he said, referring to the recent tariff announcement. “And now we let it settle in.”
