Trade Partnership Worldwide provided new 2023 data, and revised historical data, for the Brookings Institution’s interactive USMCA Tracker. The database estimates subnational goods exports and related jobs for trade between the United States, Mexico, and Canada. The U.S. state data relies on our CDxjobs and CDxports databases. Jobs data for Mexican states and Canadian provinces were estimated by applying a similar methodology to national and international data sources. Users can select country, state or province, trading partner, year, and level of product detail based on the Harmonized Schedule.
For the first time, TPW produced one-pagers highlighting key facts for all U.S. and Mexican states and Canadian provinces.
This study estimates the net economic impacts on the US economy as a whole, and across the US shipbuilding supply chain, of several of the remedies proposed by USTR to support the US shipbuilding industry.
Potential State Costs of New Steel and Aluminum Tariffs
Using our new state tariff database, Trade Partnership Worldwide produced a map showing that companies in states that backed President Trump for election could pay twice as much steel and aluminum tariffs based on 2024 trade data. TPW published research in 2018 showing the first Trump administration’s steel and aluminum tariffs, plus retaliation, could lead to over 400,000 net US jobs losses.

Potential State Costs of New Tariffs on Canada, Mexico, and China
Using our new state tariff database, Trade Partnership Worldwide produced several maps highlighting the potential tariff increases — both by value and by percent — of recently announced IEEPA tariffs on several countries based on Jan.-Nov. 2024 trade data. Based on current trade, the announcements could lead to $700 million per day in new tax liabilities for American businesses.

Given the announced pause in new tariffs on imports from Canada and Mexico, Trade Partnership Worldwide has updated our maps to show the state costs of potential new tariffs by US state from just the new tariffs on China.
The new rates would have added $39 billion in extra tariffs to Jan.-Nov. 2024 trade levels. That represents an 88% increase from all tariffs paid on imports from all source countries, or about $115 million in daily new taxes

CBO Says Tariffs Will Be Bad; In Reality They Will Be Even Worse (2025)
This Policy Brief, prepared by Trade Partnership Worldwide staff, examines the Congressional Budget Office’s (CBO) recent assessment of economy-wide impacts of proposed tariffs on U.S. imports and argues that a dynamic trade model is necessary to capture 10-year impacts. Given CBO’s important role in legislative processes, it is critical to ask whether CBO’s approach fully captures the likely impacts of potential tariffs.
