Retaliatory Tariff Update & Tariff Resources
Retaliatory Tariffs
Canada will lift many retaliatory tariffs on U.S. goods as part of efforts to restart trade talks, while maintaining duties on auto parts, steel, and aluminum. Prime Minister Mark Carney said the move aligns with the USMCA agreement and follows a recent U.S. decision not to impose certain tariffs on Canadian goods. The change restores tariff-free trade for many products, though discussions on key sectors such as steel, aluminum, and auto parts remain ongoing.
Tariff and De Minimis Resources
The U.S. administration has launched an investigation into furniture imports, which could result in new tariffs. The probe, expected to conclude within 50 days, comes as the administration seeks to increase domestic manufacturing in the furniture industry.
U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) has shared updated resources on their website. Resources include:
- A high-level overview of the new tariffs under IEEPA and Section 232
- An updated IEEPA FAQs section to clarify the unstacking provisions
- An updated De Minimis FAQs section
We will continue to monitor and provide an update when we receive guidance from CBP. Whether you need guidance on tariff impacts, alternative routing, or compliance support, our team is here to help. Please reach out to your Mallory Alexander representative or our M-PACT consulting team with any additional questions.
