Dear Valued Customer,
On March 3, 2025, U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) issued two notices confirming 25% tariffs will be applicable on Canadian and Mexican imports to the U.S. effective March 4, 2025, on or after 12:01 a.m. Eastern time.
The following U.S. Harmonized Tariff Schedule (HTSUS) are applicable.
Imports from Canada
9903.01.10 All imports that are products of Canada unless excluded, will be 25%
9903.01.13 Imports of energy or energy resources of Canada, will be 10%
Imports from Mexico
9903.01.01 All imports of articles that are products of Mexico unless excluded, will be 25%
These tariffs are in addition to all other applicable duties (including antidumping and countervailing duties, taxes, fees, exactions and charges). Products eligible for the United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement, or eligible for exemptions or reductions under chapter 99 are subject to these tariff increases. Goods entered into a foreign trade zone must be entered under “privileged foreign status”. Drawback is not eligible for the additional duties.
Exceptions
Imports from China
On March 3, 2025, the White House amended the previous Executive Order on China increasing the additional tariff from 10% to 20%. Goods that loaded on a vessel or in transit on the final mode of transport prior to February 1 and until March 7, 2025, can claim an exemption under HTSUS 9903.01.23.
In Cargo Systems Messaging Service CSMS # 64299816 , CBP advised 9903.01.24 will be used to access the additional 20% duty as of March 4, 12:01 a.m. Eastern time.
