The USTR released the final list for the second tranche of Section 301 tariffs. This is the remaining tariffs from the list that was released on April 5th. These products will be subject to the additional duty rate of 25% from China. Please note that this is not to be confused with the list that contains approximately 6031 tariffs and is being reviewed in the announcement on August 1st. That is a completely separate list and is still in the review process for consideration of increasing the tariff to 25% instead of the initial announcement of 10%. CBP begin collection of an additional 25% duty on these goods effective August 23!
The Trump administration is reviewing Turkey's duty-free trade access to US markets under the Generalized System of Preferences after Turkey imposed retaliatory tariffs on $1.78 billion of US goods in response to American steel and aluminum tariffs. The review could affect $1.66 billion worth of Turkish imports into the United States that benefited from the GSP program last year, including motor vehicles and parts, jewelry, precious metals and stone products. The Office of the US Trade Representative said the review is being conducted due to concerns about Turkey's compliance with the program after it targeted only US goods and not those of other countries.
At a time when trade news is in the headlines almost daily, U.S. Customs and Border Protection’s Trade Symposium, held in Atlanta, on August 14-15, drew a record number of attendees from near and far.

The Department of Commerce has self-initiated an investigation under section 232 of the Trade Expansion Act of 1962.
From the article:
"The investigation will determine whether imports of automobiles, including SUVs, vans and light trucks, and automotive parts into the United States threaten to impair the national security as defined in Section 232," stated an article by the Department of Commerce. "This investigation will consider whether the decline of domestic automobile and automotive parts production threatens to weaken the internal economy of the United States, including by potentially reducing research, development, and jobs for skilled workers in connected vehicle systems, autonomous vehicles, fuel cells, electric motors and storage, advanced manufacturing processes, and other cutting-edge technologies."
On May 8, 2018, the President announced his decision to cease the United States’ participation in the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA), and to begin re-imposing the U.S. nuclear-related sanctions that were lifted to effectuate the JCPOA sanctions relief. In conjunction with this announcement, the President issued a National Security Presidential Memorandum (NSPM), directing the Secretary of State and the Secretary of the Treasury to prepare immediately for the re-imposition of all of the U.S. sanctions lifted or waived in connection with the JCPOA, to be accomplished as expeditiously as possible and in no case later than 180 days from the date of the NSPM.
In a Presidential Proclamation released on April 30, the White House extended an exemption that imposed additional tariffs on steel and aluminum imports into the U.S. for several countries until June 1. On June 1, 2018, all countries of origin except Argentina, Australia, Brazil, and South Korea (exempt for steel only) will be subject to the additional duties of 25% on articles of steel and an additional 10% on articles of aluminum for goods entered or withdrawn from a warehouse for consumption.
A petition was filed on April 17 that certain quartz surface products are being sold for less than fair value in the U.S. market and may be subject to anti-dumping and countervailing. The alleged dumping margins have an average of 455% that reveals that the China prices are far less than companies producing quartz surface products in market economy.
From the original article:
"The petitions will be investigated by the U.S. Department of Commerce and U.S. International Trade Commission. If both agencies make affirmative determinations, preliminary relief from Chinese imports could be imposed in September 2018, with final duties imposed in June 2019."
As of Monday March 20, 2018 JAS Forwarding (USA) is now assisting CBP and TSA on its initiative to provide enhanced security for air cargo coming into the United States. The Air Cargo Advanced Screening (ACAS) initiative was created by U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) to gather data concerning the parties and commodities involved in air cargo prior to its loading on an aircraft at a foreign port. The initiative is currently in the pilot phase allowing CBP to collaborate with the air cargo industry to determine the most effective means of achieving the desired regulatory results without affecting the speed of air cargo operations.
Effective January 10, 2018, U.S. exporters to Israel are no longer required to provide Israeli authorities a hard copy Certificate of Origin (commonly referred to as the “Green Form” or “Form A”). Instead, U.S. exporters are required to include a signed declaration on the invoice, delivery note, or on any other commercial document for export shipments.
In early March, the White House signed an order that imposes additional tariffs on steel and aluminum imports from all foreign countries with several countries exempt until April 30th. The stated reason supporting these safeguards is the “failure of countries to agree on measures to reduce global excess capacity and the continued high level of imports since the beginning of the year.”
In the case of steel, “steel articles” are subject to an additional 25% duty and in the case of aluminum, “aluminum articles” are subject to an additional 10% duty effective March 23, 2018. This is effective as of 12:01 am, eastern daylight time on March 23, 2018 for goods entered or withdrawn from a warehouse for consumption.
An amendment was made on March 23rd exempting several countries from the additional steel and aluminum tariffs through April 30th.
On March 22, 2018 the omnibus spending bill was passed in the House and Senate that includes provisions to renew the Generalized System of Preferences. The bill has also been signed by the President and will be back in effect by April 23, 2018. As part of the Omnibus spending bill, Congress has approved a three year extension of the GSP program (until December 31, 2020). The extension retroactively authorizes GSP claims back to January 1, 2018.
CBP announced on February 24, 2018 that the last big step in automating the import and export process within the Automated Commercial Environment (ACE) has been completed. "This is a monumental milestone for CBP—over 15 years in the making—an electronic system that streamlines and automates all phases of cargo processing, including pre-arrival, arrival, post release, exports, and partner government agency (PGA) integration into what we call a 'single window,'" stated an article by U.S. Customs and Border Protection.
ACE is and has been one of the most intricate and elaborate IT projects ever managed by the federal government. "CBP personnel developed over 5.3 million lines of code, automated 269 forms, input the regulations of more than 47 PGAs and added hundreds of thousands of users," stated CBP. Getting ACE implemented was not an easy feat for the customs brokers, but they pushed through and are proud of their accomplishment.
U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) continues making progress in the implementation of the Trade Facilitation and Trade Enforcement Act of 2015 (TFTEA) on the Act’s two year anniversary. TFTEA updates and strengthens how CBP works and accomplishes its trade mission. The goal of the Act is to support CBP's efforts in ensuring a fair and competitive trade environment for American people and businesses.
From the CBP article:
"CBP has used the additional authorities provided under TFTEA to prohibit the entry of goods made by forced labor, including forced child labor, into the United States and also established a Forced Labor Division within the Office of Trade. CBP seized more than 10,000 cartons of frozen squid, valued at more than $200,000, in November 2017 that was processed with North Korean forced labor. To date, CBP, in collaboration with its inter-agency partners, including the Department of Labor, which compiles lists of goods that are likely produced by forced labor, has detained 57 shipments of goods, valued at $6.3 million that are suspected of involving forced labor."

"The Transportation Security Administration (TSA) set another screening record during the 2017 holiday travel period, December 15 through January 2, 2018, with more than 42 million (42,043,588) passengers and more than 30.6 million (30,611,408) checked bags screened nationwide," stated an article by the TSA. December 22, the Friday before Christmas, had more than 2.5 million passengers and crew members screened. "It was the 11th busiest day in TSA’s history," TSA stated.
"On an average travel day, TSA screens approximately 2.1 million passengers and crew," stated the article by the TSA, "In the busiest days during the holiday travel period, TSA screened as many as 400,000 more passengers per day than usual."
Importers: If you can't answer these 12 questions on forced labor, you're in trouble! Did you know that import cargo that has been made with forced labor can be seized by CBP? An estimated 40.3 million people were living in modern slavery at any moment in time in 2016. This amounts to 5.4 victims of modern slavery for every thousand people in the world. Seventy three per cent of the victims of forced labor were female, and one in four victims were children. Forced labor accounted for 24.9 million people, while 15.4 million were in forced marriage.

For April, we are highlighting Christopher Gottlob, CHB Supervisor in our Detroit, MI branch. Christohper has a bachelor’s degree in supply chain management. Christopher started working at JAS in 2017 as an intern. In 2019, he moved into a brokerage position and found that he enjoyed doing customs entries more than moving freight. Christopher took and passed the Licensed Customs Broker exam in 2020 during Covid, which gave him plenty of time for studying. In 2022, Christopher became the CHB Supervisor in Detroit. Christopher has been able to follow the HTS GRIs and cross reference with CBP rulings to help clients find more appropriate HTS codes and in some cases, that has led to lower duties, saving his client on duties!
Christopher is married to his wife Megan, and they have a 2 year old daughter and are expecting their second in July. Christopher and his family have 2 cats, and a dog. He loves to go Detroit Lions games as a season ticket holder, golfing and enjoying his cabin in north Michigan with family and friends.
Christopher is another great example that People Make the Difference!

Dear Valued Client,
We wanted to take an opportunity to clarify that IEEPA Drug/border tariffs (20% effective March 4, 2025 for China), and (25% effective March 4 for Canada and Mexico) are still in effect. IEEPA Drug/border tariffs are distinctly different than the new IEEPA Reciprocal tariffs announced yesterday.
China
- IEEPA Reciprocal tariffs from China (34%) apply effective April 9.
- If section 232, steel, aluminum, derivatives, autmobiles, and auto parts is applicable, then section 232 (25%) tariff supersedes the IEEPA Reciprocal tariffs at 34%.
- Section 301 for China still applies .
- IEEPA Drug/border tariffs from China (20%) still applies.
Canada/Mexico
- Goods from Canada and Mexico are exempt from the IEEPA Drug/border tariffs if qualifying for USCMA.
- If goods are not qualifying for USMCA, then IEEPA Drug/border tariffs apply (25%).
- If the IEEPA Drug/border tariff is terminated or suspended, USMCA qualifying goods will be exempt from IEEPA Reciprocal tariffs and non-USMCA goods will be subject to a 12% IEEPA reciprocal tariff.
- No dates have been provided at this time.
Additional updates will follow once they are available.
All of the comments in this advisory are subject to change and based on our current interpretation. The President issued executive orders yesterday, April 2.
Section 321/de minimis goods from China/Hong Kong will be elmininated. All goods of China/Hong Kong which are shipped by any method other than the international postal network are ineligible for de minimus as of 12:01 am EDT May 5, 2025. Entries must be made using formal or informal entry.
Goods shipping via international postal methods from China/Hong Kong will be subject to duty rates equal to either:
- 30% of the value as of May 2, 2025; or
- $25 per item (from May 2- May 31, 2025); or
- $50 per item from June 2, 2025.
- These duties will be in lieu of most favored nation rates, IEEPA drug tariffs, and 301 tariffs.
Packages from Macau remain eligible for de minimis but there may be a recommendation to extend the prohibition to Macau within 90 days.
All other countries are exempt from this de minimis change until Commerce has established a system to collect the tariffs.
Additional updates will follow once they are available.
All of the comments in this advisory are subject to change and based on our current interpretation. The President issued executive orders yesterday, April 2. The orders utilize International Economic Emergency Power Act (IEEPA) authority to impose a universal 10% tariff on all countries except some specific countries with greater rates. Additionally, the list of products subject to section 232 tariffs on automobiles/auto parts has been released. The Department of Commerce also added two new products to the section 232 derivative aluminum articles.
IEEPA reciprocal tariffs of 10% ad valorem will be added for all countries. These will be effective at 12:01 am EDT April 5, 2025. Note that goods loaded onto a vessel at the port of lading in the final mode of transit prior to April 5, will not be subject to the IEEPA reciprocal tariffs.
IEEPA reciprocal tariffs with specifc rates (for countries listed in Annex I) will be effective at 12:01 am EDT on April 9, 2025. Note that goods loaded onto a vessel at the port of lading in the final mode of transit prior to April 9, will not be subject to the IEEPA reciprocal country specific rate.
There are published exceptions which define products that are excluded from the IEEPA reciprocal tariffs. Goods for personal use, donations, informational articles including publications, films and posters etc., under 50 USC 1702 are exempt.
Steel, aluminum, and derivatives, automobiles and auto parts under existing section 232 tariffs are exempt from the IEEPA reciprocal tariffs (note all existing tariffs still apply). Additionally, goods listed in Annex II (linked below) of the order are exempt, which includes items such as copper, pharmaceuticals, semiconductors, lumber, certain critical minerals, and energy/energy products. We believe these items are going to be addressed separately. The value of US content on any goods which have no less than 20% US value will be exempt from IEEPA reciprocal tariffs.
Section 232 for automobile and auto parts annex has been released. Section 232 for automobile tariffs are effective 12:01 am EDT April 3, 2025 with 25% tariffs applicable. Section 232 for auto parts tariffs are effective 12:01 am EDT May 3, 2025 with 25% tariffs applicable. The full list of applicable HTS codes are linked below.
Goods from Canada and Mexico that currently qualify for USMCA are exempt from the IEEPA border tariffs. However, upon termination/suspension of IEEPA border tariffs (25%), USMCA goods will be exempt from the IEEPA Reciprocal tariffs and non-USMCA goods will be subject to 12% IEEPA tariffs. No dates have been provided at this time.
Finally, the Department of Commerce has added two items to the Aluminum Derivatives list which include aluminum cans (7612) and aluminum cans containing beer (2203). These are effective 12:01 am EDT April 4, 2025 with 25% tariffs applicable.
Note that goods admitted to Foreign Trade Zones after 12:01 eastern on April 9 must be admitted in privileged foreign status. It is noted that goods that are eligible for admission to an FTZ under domestic status will be exempt from the tariffs.
Update 4-7-2025- IEEPA reciprocal tariffs are eligible for drawback. Unlike in previous IEEPA action, there is no express prohibition of claiming duty drawback on these tariffs.
The President has announced broad reciprocal tariffs. The reciprocal tariffs will vary by country. The tariffs reciprocal tariffs will depend on existing tariffs for US goods exported to those countries.
The President shared a chart showing various rates applied to US goods to countries and the reciprocal tariff that will be applied to goods from those countries. Examples included China with overall tariff percentage of 67% on US goods, which the US will be applying a reciprocal tariff of 34%. Other examples include Japan charging 46% on US goods and the US now applying a 24% reciprocal tariff. JAS will post the full list once it is officially published.
Other deveopments today include a list of specific HTS codes for automobiles subject to the 25% tariff effective April 3. Auto parts will be implemented on May 3.
Finally, aluminum containers under 7612.90.10 and beer under 2203.00.00 have been added to the aluminum derivatives list.
Additional updates will follow once they are available.
In an Executive Order published on March 24, 2025, the administration has announced 25% tariffs on countries that import oil from Venezuela. The order states that “On or after April 2, 2025, a tariff of 25 % may be imposed on all goods imported into the United States from any country that imports Venezuelan oil...” These duties will be supplemental to duties already imposed such as IEEPA, Section 232, Section 301 China tariffs, etc.
Additionally the President signed an executive order on March 26 applying Section 232 duties to automobiles, light trucks and auto parts (such as transmissions/powertrain parts, engines and engine parts etc.). The rate of duty will be 25% and this will go into effect starting April 3. It will not apply to USMCA parts until a process has been established to account for the non-US content of auto parts. If additional parts are to be tariffed, there will be a Federal Register notice as soon as practicable after the Commerce Secretary’s decision, and the tariffs will be collected one day after that notice.
Finally in response to a question yesterday, the President indicated that Lumber Tariffs may come starting on April 2.

Did the London Bridge Really Fall Down??? Not really… but its U.S. Customs Declaration was the World’s Largest Antique to Ever be Sold!
London Bridge wasn't exactly falling in the 1960s; however, it was sinking under the weight of modern traffic. When the capital city in England decided to build another to replace it, the 1831 bridge was put up for sale. The winning bid came from Robert P. McCulloch, American entrepreneur and chairman of McCulloch Oil Company.
McCulloch paid $2,460,000—plus shipping costs of around $240,000—to bring the bridge to the United States piece by piece. CBP declared the 137-year-old bridge to be an “antique” and therefore duty free. It took three years to complete the bridge and remains one of Arizona’s most visited tourist attractions!
