Yeah but that’s out of incompetence, not malice. You’re in most cases not allowed to trade with Russia due to sanctions, so what is there to tariff?

41% increase on tariffs to Syria which is currently also comprehensively sanctioned

The recent collapse of the Assad regime might have changed the calculus there, not sure.

They’re on a different list that allows limited trade afaik.
