Dear Valued Customer,
"The U.S. will levy an additional 10 percent tariff on all imports from all trading partners, effective with respect to goods entered or withdrawn from warehouse for consumption on or after 12:01a.m. EDT on April 5. However, this tariff will not apply to goods that are (1) loaded onto a vessel at the port of loading and in transit on the final mode of transit before that time and (2) entered or withdrawn from warehouse for consumption after that time.
However, several dozen countries will be subject to additional tariffs of 11-50 percent.
These higher tariffs will be effective with respect to goods entered or withdrawn from warehouse for consumption on or after 12:01 a.m. EDT on April 9. However, they will not apply to goods that are (1) loaded onto a vessel at the port of loading and in transit on the final mode of transit before that time and (2) entered or withdrawn from warehouse for consumption after that time.
The additional tariffs will be assessed in addition to any other applicable duties, fees, taxes, exactions, or charges and will remain in place until the president determines that “the underlying conditions described [in the EO] are satisfied, resolved, or mitigated.” "
Below is the full list of countries with additional 11-50% tariffs: |
The EO reaffirms the 25% tariffs on imports from Canada and Mexico (10% on energy, energy resources, and potash from Canada) that don’t qualify for duty-free treatment under the U.S.-Mexico-Canada Agreement (fact sheet). These tariffs, imposed under a separate order, would default to 12% if removed, while USMCA-compliant goods would remain duty-free. |
Exclusions:
The EO applies additional tariffs only to the non-U.S. content of an article, provided at least 20% of its value originates in the U.S. “U.S. content” includes components fully produced or substantially transformed in the U.S. It also authorizes U.S. Customs and Border Protection to collect necessary information and documentation—such as at entry filing—to verify an article’s U.S. content value and whether it is substantially finished domestically.
The EO excludes the following from the additional tariffs:
- all articles encompassed by 50 USC 1702(b) (e.g., communications, donations, and informational materials)
- all articles and derivatives of steel and aluminum already subject to Section 232 duties
- all automobiles and automotive parts already subject to Section 232 duties
- copper, pharmaceuticals, semiconductors, lumber articles, certain critical minerals, and energy and energy products
- all articles from a trading partner subject to Column 2 duty rates
- all articles that may become subject to duties pursuant to future Section 232 actions
