TGIF, Trade Geeks! ???? Today’s hot topic: The Retaliatory Tariff Roller Coaster ?? The latest round of tariff updates is making waves across industries, with significant implications for steel, aluminum, and their derivatives. As of March 12, 2025, a 25% tariff is in place, adding complexity to imports and supply chain costs. Meanwhile, the markets have entered correction territory, and many businesses are bracing for impact. ?? Key Takeaways: ?? Steel & Aluminum Tariffs – Effective now, with far-reaching effects on manufacturing and trade. ?? Reciprocal Tariffs Incoming – Watch for updates around April 2; final outcomes expected by June. ?? Trump's Announcements ≠ Immediate Law – Policies still need approval through CBP & U.S. Trade Representatives before implementation. ?? China Tariffs at 45% – Immediate impact, while Canada & Mexico saw a short-term 25% tariff from March 3-6, now paused until April 2. ?? New Compliance Burdens – Importers must now break down product values and report smelt, melt, and casting origin – adding administrative headaches. At Trade Flex, we’ve been working closely with manufacturers to mitigate tariff impacts, leveraging 30+ years of experience to find exemptions and duty-saving strategies. While tariffs continue to evolve, being nimble and proactive is key. ?? Stay informed, stay compliant, and stay ahead. ?? Follow us for the latest CBP updates and industry insights!

Official CBP Statement On Tariffs Release Date Sat, 03/08/2025 On March 4, 2025 and March 7, 2025, U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) implemented five Presidential Executive Orders implementing tariff updates for imports from China, Hong Kong, Canada, and Mexico. Pursuant to these Executive Orders, CBP is collecting the following additional tariffs on imports from Mexico, Canada, and China under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act: Additional 25% tariffs on goods that do not satisfy U.S.-Mexico-Canada Agreement (USMCA) rules of origin. A lower, additional 10% tariff on energy products imported from Canada that fall outside the USMCA preference. A lower, additional 10% tariff on potash imported from Canada and Mexico that falls outside the USMCA preference. Additional 20% on goods from China and Hong Kong (increased from 10% on March 4). Effective March 7, 2025, no additional tariffs are due on goods from Canada and Mexico that qualify for the USMCA preference. The rules that govern whether a product qualifies for USMCA preference are unchanged by the recent tariff updates and are found in 19 CFR 182. These tariff updates have been implemented on the effective date and as such, there is no retroactive application. CBP has issued Cargo Systems Messaging Service (CSMS) notices on each tariff implementation update in the Automated Commercial Environment (ACE) and will continue to communicate updates and related technical information via CSMS. The public can review these notices at https://lnkd.in/gFNjm5me. Our focus remains on national security, enforcement, and the facilitation of legitimate trade. CBP is fully equipped to implement these Executive actions.
