On April 2, 2025, the White House announced its reciprocal tariff program, increasing the ad valorem rates on all countries under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act of 1977 (IEEPA). These rates will be charged in addition to the normal duty rates ordinarily applicable to products.

  • Effective April 5: the United States will charge a 10% tariff on all countries not already subject to national security tariffs with which the U.S. maintains normal trade relations. All current import restrictions for Cuban, Russian, Belarussian, and North Korean products remain in effect. The 25% national security tariffs imposed on products from Canada and Mexico are not changed by this order, and the US-Mexico-Canada Agreement ("USMCA") exemptions will remain in place. U.S. Customs and Border Protection ("CBP") has separately reminded importers claiming USMCA eligibility to file a USMCA certificate with each entry and be prepared for audits to verify eligibility.
