Mexico proposed new tariffs on China and other non-USMCA countries, however discussion has been postpones until November. This is a continuation of changes to the IMMEX program.

Duty free de minimis exemption will no longer be available for goods made in China on May 2, at 12:01 AM. All postal shipments with made in China goods will face either the ad valorem duty or a specific duty of $100 per postal item on May 2 and increase to $200 on June 1st.

The current tariff landscape traces back to February 1, when the White House announced sweeping new tariffs: 25% on all consumer goods from Mexico and Canada, and an additional 10% on imports from China. These measures triggered immediate retaliation. On February 13, President Trump proposed further reciprocal tariffs and confirmed on April 2 that the administration would proceed with a series of global tariffs ranging from 10% to 49%, starting April 5.
Ultimately, the administration paused the tiered approach and implemented a flat 10% tariff on all countries except China. These measures have sparked a series of trade negotiations, retaliatory actions, and legal battles both domestically and abroad. The US-UK trade deal is the only officially live deal, though 5 others (Vietnam, Indonesia, Philippines, Japan, and the EU) are announced but still under negotiation.
On August 1st, the Trump administration announced resuming the country specific ad valorem tariffs to go into effect on August 7th.
At the same time, the tariffs are being challenged in federal court. The U.S. Court of International Trade ruled on May 28 that the broad application of the tariffs under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (IEEPA) was illegal. However, the Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit (CAFC) issued a temporary stay on May 29 and a longer-term stay on June 10, allowing the tariffs to remain in place pending appeal. While a ruling could arrive in August at the earliest, the losing side is almost certain to appeal to the Supreme Court. If the CAFC rules against the tariffs, the administration is expected to pursue alternative legal routes to continue its tariff agenda. Conversely, if the CAFC upholds the tariffs, industry groups will likely escalate their own legal and policy responses.

Major court challenges are questioning whether the President has legal authority to impose tariffs of this magnitude under emergency powers (IEEPA, TWEA).

USMCA Goods with CA and MX origin have been granted a reprieve. USMCA qualification is not automatic and involves rigorous qualification and documentation prior to be eligible for exemption.

It’s important to make the distinction between Country of Origin products vs imports from that country. Country of origin is defined as where the products are manufactured, not where they are shipping from. Read more here.

Tariffs will eliminate duty-free (de minimis) exemptions under Section 321 for shipments of products with a Country of Origin from affected countries. China lost access to de minimis entry starting May 2nd. For other countries, the White House has announced an end to de minimis entry on August 29, 2025.

A 40% tariff will apply if CBP determines that goods were illegally transshipped to avoid proper duties—for example, by routing them through another country without real processing, or falsely labeling their origin without ever passing through that country.
Key Factors
The Trump administration has introduced sweeping tariff measures under expanded IEEPA authority, including the elimination of the $800 de minimis threshold effective August 29, significantly increasing landed costs for low-value cross-border shipments. Additionally, stricter enforcement targets transshipment and tariff evasion, with a 40% penalty on goods found to be rerouted or mislabeled to avoid country-specific duties.

If current duty rate is greater than 15%, there's no additional tariff applied, only the current duty rate. Example: current duty rate=16.5%, there's no additional tariff. If current duty rate is less than 15%, then it's still charged the current duty rate and the additional tariff amount which is determined by subtracting the current duty rate from 15%. Example: current duty = 5%, then the additional tariff will be 10%. | Effective Date 8/7/2025 | Status STARTED |
