On December 28th in a Federal Register publication, USTR announced that determinations have been made to grant certain exclusion request. Shortly after the announcement, the federal government shutdown began, resulting in delays that impacted U.S. import and exports. The government has now reopened with funding through the end of February; however, instructions on how to process these exclusions and any refunds have not been provided by CBP. We will provide further information on the exclusions as it becomes available.
On February 1, 2025, under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (IEEPA), the administration is implementing 10% additional tariff on imports from China.
Originally, Canada and Mexico were to have 25% tariffs imposed, however after late meetings between the President of Mexico and the Canadian Prime Minister, news outlets are reporting there will be a 30 day pause on these potential tariffs.
More details include that goods admitted to FTZs must be admitted under privileged foreign status, no duty drawback will be allowed, and there will be no section 321, or de minimis shipments allowed for products of China.
Additional details will be shared as soon as available. As this is a fast-changing situation, all details are subject to change.
