Trade Alert: Upcoming Tariff Dates
As tariff enactment dates quickly approach, it is important to know how each tariff will affect you. Below, you will find relevant dates for upcoming tariffs and other important details.
Mexican and Canadian Tariffs
On February 4th, President Trump announced a 25% tariff on imports from Mexico and Canada (10% tariff on Canadian energy resources). After negotiations, these tariffs were delayed by one month once Canada and Mexico agreed to increase border security. Despite border security efforts, Trump has announced that these tariffs will proceed on March 4th (there are some reports that negotiations are taking place between Mexico and the U.S.).
IEEPA Tariffs
On February 4th, President Trump imposed a 10% tariff on all Chinese imports entering the U.S. under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (IEEPA). This additional 10% tariff will be applied to imports from China on March 7th at 12:01 A.M. Goods in transit as of February 1st and arriving prior to March 7th at 12:01 A.M. will not be subject to the additional tariff.
Steel & Aluminum Tariffs
On February 10th, President Trump announced a 25% tariff on all steel and aluminum imports entering the U.S., an update to the current Section 232 tariffs. These tariffs will begin on March 12th, and all previous amendments to the Section 232 tariffs will be dissolved. Effective dates have yet to be announced for derivative products outside of Chapters 73 and 76 of the Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the U.S. (HTSUS). The tariffs placed on those products will be based on their steel and aluminum make-up.
