What you need to know
The US President has issued several Executive Orders (EOs) to impose additional tariffs on all countries and suspend the De Minimis (DM) treatment, invoking emergency economic powers under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (IEEPA).
What does this mean to you:
Your shipments may be subject to additional import tariffs:
Effective April 5, 2025:
  • A 10% IEEPA “reciprocal” tariff applies to shipments from all countries, excluding:
    • Certain specific goods such as: donations, informational material, pharmaceuticals, semiconductors, computers, smartphones, goods subject to additional tariffs under Section 232
  • Products from Canada and Mexico are not subject to the IEEPA “reciprocal” tariffs, however, products that do not qualify for the United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement (USMCA) are subject to the IEEPA “opioid” tariffs of:
    • 25% from Mexico, Effective March 4, 2025
    • 35% from Canada, Effective August 1, 2025
Effective August 6, 2025:
  • Products manufactured in Brazil and imported into the United States, regardless of where they are shipped from, are subject to an additional 40% duty in addition to the existing 10% reciprocal tariff.
  • Certain products are exempted from this additional duty.
Effective August 7, 2025:
  • Over 60 countries are subject to higher IEEPA “Adjusted reciprocal tariffs” of up to 41%. Countries that are not listed will continue to be subject to a 10% IEEPA reciprocal tariff.
  • For China, Hong Kong and Macao SAR, China, the adjusted (higher) reciprocal tariff is suspended until November 10, 2025, maintaining a 10% reciprocal tariff rate, unless there are any further changes. This tariff applies in addition to all other applicable duties.
Effective August 27, 2025:
  • Products manufactured in India and imported into the United States, regardless of where they are shipped from, are subject to an additional 25% duty in addition to the existing 25% reciprocal tariff.
Your shipments will require additional formalities. Under United States law, shipments valued up to 800 USD can be imported free of duties (De Minimis). De Minimis treatment has been changed as follows:
Effective May 2, 2025:
  • Shipments with products made in China/Hong Kong are not eligible for the 800 USD De Minimis and are therefore subject to all applicable duties and require a customs entry.
Effective August 29, 2025:
  • The 800 USD De Minimis is suspended for all countries. All shipments, regardless of their value or country or origin, will be subject to all applicable duties and require a customs entry
