As many of you are aware, this weekend President Trump signed executive orders placing tariffs on imports that are products of Canada, the People’s Republic of China (China), and Mexico. Products from Canada and Mexico are subject to an additional 25 percent ad valorem rate of duty, with certain energy products from Canada subject to a lower ad valorem rate of duty at 10 percent. Products from China are subject to a 10 percent ad valorem rate of duty. These tariffs become effective on goods entered for consumption, or withdrawn from warehouse for consumption, on or after 12:01 a.m. Eastern Standard Time on February 4, 2025.
A Federal Register Notice (FRN) is forthcoming, which will provide more specifics, including further details on relevant updates to the Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTSUS). CBP uses the Cargo Systems Messaging Service (CSMS) to communicate news and updates on our automated systems to our trade partners.
Also note that duty-free de minimis treatment under 19 U.S.C. 1321 is not available for products subject to the additional tariffs effective on 12:01am Eastern Standard Time on February 4, 2025. CBP will provide, via CSMS, additional technical updates regarding duty-free de minimis treatment following the publication of the FRN.
We understand that there will be many questions regarding implementation of these tariffs, and we are committed to clear and timely communication. We will provide significant updates as we receive them. In the meantime, please direct any questions to TradeEvents@cbp.dhs.gov.
Thank you for your patience during this busy time.
