In March 2019, JAS Forwarding Miami Branch was very pleased to have MSA Security on site for a live demo of their canine screening process. The 3PK9 Security Program allows airlines and freight forwarders to utilize private sector canine teams as a primary screening method. Essentially, reducing time and cost compared to other screening procedures.
On March 27th, JAS USA Compliance conducted or first FREE webinar open to current and potential JAS Import Clients. During this session, we discussed Section 232 & 301 tariffs and how it affects customs bonds, tariff exclusions and more! Please find the link below to review all of the questions and answers that were discussed in the webinar session. More webinars to come throughout the year!
Recently, our very own Compliance Officer Laurie Arnold was “flying” high, as her and Compliance Specialist Scott Cassell did an onsite audit for a company with airplanes.
Did you know that JAS Corporate Compliance offers internal auditing and other value added services?
We offer the following services for clients that include but not limited to:

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.
Update
As previously advised in our advisory below, CIT has determined that IEEPA does not give the President authority to impose reciprocal or drug/border tariffs.
For clarity note that the CIT directed the U.S. Government to enforce a permanent injunction against the IEEPA tariffs within 10 calendar days of its decision, setting a deadline of June 7, 2025. In response, the government promptly filed an appeal with the US Court of Appeals in the Federal Circuit and submitted a motion requesting a stay of judgment’s enforcement during the appeal process. If CIT grants the stay, the IEEPA tariffs will likely remain in place until a final ruling is issued. In other words, nothing changes at this time until additional instructions have been provided.
Until JAS receives further information/instructions from CBP, we are required to continue to apply all existing tariffs.
Additionally, it remains uncertain whether importers will be allowed to file claims for refunds on IEEPA tariffs they have already paid.
Note this is a fluid situation that we will continue to monitor.
Previously advised:
The Court of International Trade has determined that IEEPA does not give the President authority to impose reciprocal tariffs or drug/border tariffs. The court has ruled that the IEEPA tariffs exceed the authority granted to the President.
Per the judgement issued on May 28, 2025, Executive order 14193 (Canada Drug/Border), Executive order 14194 (Mexico Drug/Border), Executive order 14195 (China Drug/Border), and Executive order 14257 (Reciprocal Tariffs), all modifications and amendments are declared invalid as contrary to law.
The administration has the option to appeal, and it is expected that they will file an appeal. It is also very likely the administration will request a stay pending a decision on the appeal, meaning that the tariffs are probably going to stay for a while longer.
Check out the links below for more information.
The Administration has announced a 90-day pause on the recently escalating tariffs with China. During the pause, the US will reduce the 125% reciprocal tariff rate down to 10% which is currently applicable to all other countries. The 20% IEEPA drug/border tariff will remain during the pause.
Part of the agreement includes China removing their retaliatory tariffs and restrictions taken since April 2.
These actions are expected to be in effect by May 14, 2025, and will last for 90 days. The US and China will work to continue trade talks to address issues.
In summary, tariffs on imported Chinese goods will be applied as follows:
- Most Favored Nation rate (MFN)
- Section 301 duty rate (7.5%-100% depending on HTS)
- IEEPA Drug/Border (20%)
- IEEPA Reciprocal (at 10%), OR Section 232 (25% steel/aluminum/autos/auto parts/derivatives) – whichever is applicable by law

The President and the UK Prime Minister announced a trade deal, providing American companies access to the UK markets.
The trade deal will expand US market access in the UK, creating a $5 billion opportunity for new exports for US farmers, ranchers, and producers.
Additionally, the deal will create preferential access to UK aerospace components, and 10% reciprocal tariff rate on the first 100,000 UK origin vehicles per year (with the rate increasing to 25% after that threshold).
The White House Fact Sheet also states that “The United States…will negotiate an alternative arrangement to the Section 232 tariffs on steel and aluminum.”
No dates have been provided on when these actions will take effect. Click below to check out the White House Fact Sheet:

With rising tariffs, importers of record should proactively coordinate with their financial institutions to ensure that Customs and Border Protection (CBP) can successfully debit the appropriate duty amounts from their bank accounts.
Your bank may need to adjust the Debit Cap or remove a Debit Blocker associated with CBP debits. This action requires providing your bank with the CBP Company ID, which was originally issued in your ACH Debit Acceptance letter.
To avoid failed transactions, it is critical to:
• Review ACH debit reports to monitor the amounts CBP is drawing from your account.
• Confirm sufficient funds are available in your account to cover upcoming debits.
• Work with your bank to raise your debit cap if the increased tariffs result in higher duty payments.
Failure to ensure adequate authorization or funding could lead to debit rejections, which may trigger the issuance of a debit voucher and possible removal from the ACH Debit program, along with potential liquidated damages.
If you're moving to your own ACH Debit Pay Types 3, 7, or 8, here are additional steps to take:
• Notify your bank that CBP is authorized to debit your account.
• Provide the CBP Company ID to your financial institution.
• Set an adequate dollar limit on your ACH authorization to cover all expected Duties, Taxes, and Fees.
• Establish a daily transaction limit with your bank that accommodates the number of charges CBP may process (especially important for Periodic Monthly Statement (PMS) participants, who may incur multiple transactions in a single billing cycle).
CBP has stated in CSMS message 64916414 that they will publish refund procedures and any necessary updates to the Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTSUS) in a Federal Register Notice no later than May 16, 2025. The message goes on to say that “Filers should refrain from requesting refunds until refund procedures are announced in the Federal Register Notice.”
This is related to the Executive Order, “Addressing Certain Tariffs on Imported Articles,” signed on April 29 which gives guidance on the application of tariffs imposed by previous presidential actions.

The President issued a Proclamation on April 29, 2025. The Proclamation states in part “To more effectively eliminate the threat to impair national security posted by imports of automobiles and automobile parts,...it is necessary to modify the system imposed in Proclamation 10908 by reducing the duties assessed on automobile parts for 15% of the value of an automobile assembled in the United States for 1 year and equivalent to 10% of that value for an additional year...” The Proclamation continues and states that “For automobiles assembled in the United States, automobile manufacturers shall be eligible to receive an import adjustment offset amount applicable to section 232 duties on automobiles...”
The Proclamation also defines the schedule for the import adjustment offset. “The automobile manufacturer may apply for an import adjustment offset amount equal to 3.75% of the aggregate MSRP value of all automobiles assembled in the US from April 3, 2025, through April 30, 2025.” It goes on to say, “The automobile manufacturer may apply for an import adjustment offset amount equal to 2.5% of the aggregate MSRP value of all automobiles assembled in the United States from May 1, 2026, through April 30, 2027.”
The Proclamation states that a process will be established for manufacturers to seek an import adjustment offset amount.
The President also issued an Executive Order on April 29, 2025. This order exempts good subject to 232 automobile and auto parts tariffs from section 232 steel/aluminum tariffs, and IEEPA drug/border tariffs for goods from Canada and Mexico.
The executive order also states “This order shall apply retroactively to all entries of merchandise subject to any applicable tariffs... (as noted above)...and made on or after March 4, 2025. Any refunds will be processed pursuant to applicable laws and U.S. Customs and Border Protection’s standard procedures for such refunds.
JAS Forwarding (USA) Inc. will provide more details on the refunds procedures once the guidance has been provided by CBP.
The President issued an Executive Order on April 9, 2025 aimed at “Restoring America’s Maritime Dominance.” The order covers numerous topics including a Maritime Action Plan, Ensuring Security and Resilience, PRC’s unfair actions, and other topics.
One key topic addresses the enforcement/collection of HMF (Harbor Maintenance Fees) and other charges. Historically, HMF was payable on all entries of goods by ocean mode of transport at US ports (including inland ports where cargo imported at a sea port and moved in bond inland). Cargo routed through Canada and Mexico and entered by land borders were not assessed the HMF fees. The executive order directs the Secretary of Homeland Security to take steps to collect HMF and any other fees etc. PLUS a 10% service fee for cargo first arriving in Canada or Mexico by vessel.
Another key issue addressed is the “Targeted and Phased Action to Reverse Chinese Dominance and to Restore American Shipbuilding.” These actions will occur in two phases. For the first 180 days, applicable fees will be set to zero. After 180 days:
• Fees on vessel owners and operators of China based on net tonnage per U.S. voyage, increasing incrementally over the following years - the fee would start at $50/NT in 180 days and increases by $30/NT per year over the next three years;
• Fees on operators of Chinese-built ships based on net tonnage or containers, increasing incrementally over the following years - the fee would start at $18/NT or $120 per container in 180 days, and would increase by $5/NT per year, or the same proportional yearly amount per container (e.g., in year 2, to $154 per container), over the next three years; and
• To incentivize U.S.-built car carrier vessels, fees on foreign-built car carrier vessels based on their capacity - the fee would start at $150 per Car Equivalent Unit (CEU) capacity of the entering non-U.S. built vessel in 180 days.

The President issued a memorandum on April 11, 2025 providing clarification of exceptions under Executive Order 14257 of April 2, 2025. In this EO, the President stated that certain goods are not subject to the ad valorem rates of duty under that order. Some of the excepted products are chips, computers, and smartphones.
The memorandum of April 11, 2025 notes that products classified in the following headings and subheadings of the HTSUS are included:
8471, 8473.30, 8486, 8517.13.00, 8517.62.00, 8523.51.00, 8524, 8528.52.00, 8541.10.00, 8541.21.00, 8541.29.00, 8541.30.00, 8541.49.10, 8541.49.70, 8541.49.80, 8541.49.95, 8541.51.00, 8541.59.00, 8541.90.00, and 8542.
Any duties collected at or after 12:01 a.m. eastern daylight time on April 5, 2025 are eligible for refunds in accordance with US CBP procedures. JAS Forwarding (USA) Inc. is reviewing past entries to see if any updates can be made and our branches will reach out to confirm approval to process.
The President has posted on Truth Social that as a result of China’s actions, he is increasing the tariff rate charged to China by the United States to 125%, effective immediately.
Additionally, the President has authorized a 90 day PAUSE on higher country rate reciprocal tariffs (Excluding China) because of more than 75 affected countries reaching out to the US to negotiate a solution.
During this time, the 10% reciprocal tariff that went into effect on April 5, 2025 on all countries will continue.
These changes are effective immediately per the posting. This has not been formally announced and we are awaiting the official notice.
The White House Press Secretary announced today April 8, 2025 that the President is set to impose an additional 50% on Chinese imports. The additional 50% is set to take effect at 12:01 a.m. EDT on April 9, 2025.
The official written notice from the White House has not yet been released so it is unclear under which program (IEEPA or others) this additional 50% will be implemented under.
Update- 4/9/2025- The President issued and executive order on April 8, 2025, "Amendment To Reciprocal Tariffs and Updated Duties as Applied to Low-Value Imports From the People's Republic of China." The order updates the reciprocal rate of duty for goods of China to 84% replacing the previous rate of 34% (for reciprocal tariffs).
IEEPA
Drug/Border Tariffs
Reciprocal Tariffs
China has issued Retaliatory Tariffs of 34% on top of existing tariffs and other measures. The President has posted on Truth Social that if China does not withdraw it’s 34% increase by April 8, 2025, the US will impose additional tariffs on China of 50% effective April 9.
Note that Annex I of the reciprocal tariffs has been updated with some countries having revised rates. Annex I has been updated and Annex III has been added on our link.
Note that 10% reciprocal tariff applies as of April 5 for goods from all countries and starting on April 9, countries with specific rates will be subject to their specific rate.
CSMS 64649265 issued April 5 addressing reciprocal tariffs. The CSMS message states “To prevent importers from abusing the exceptions for goods that were in transit before April 5, 2025 when it is no longer realistic due to the passage of time, CBP will permit heading 9903.01.28 to be declared only for goods that are entered for consumption or withdrawn from warehouse for consumption, on or after 12:01 a.m. EDT on April 5, 2025, and before 12:01 a.m. EDT on May 27, 2025.”
Dear Valued Client,
JAS Forwarding (USA) Inc. Compliance Team has put together some specific examples to help illustrate our current interpretation of the tariffs.
-Example item 1 costs $100 and is considered an aluminum derivative. The non-US aluminum
content represents 25% (or $25) of the value of the item. The regular rate of duty for this
item is 2.5%. If from China section 301 duty of 25% would apply.
-Example item 2 costs $100 and is not a derivative or any product subject to section 232. The
regular rate of duty for this item is 2.5%. If from China section 301 of 25% would apply.
IEEPA Reciprocal examples for countries listed in Annex 1
- Example 1 from China
o Regular rate of duty 2.5% applies= $2.50
o IEEPA Drug/Border duty of 20% applies = $20.00

o Section 232 derivative applies at 25% on non-US content
Non US content is $25 x .25 = $6.25
o IEEPA Reciprocal tariff rate from China is 34%, but because the item is a Section 232 derivative, this 34% reciprocal tariff does not apply.
o Total duty in this example = $53.75
- Example 2 from China

o IEEPA Reciprocal tariff rate from Japan is 24%, but because the item is a Section 232 derivative, this 24% reiprocal tariff does not apply.
o Total duty in this example = $8.75
- Example 2 from Japan
o Regular rate of duty 2.5% applied = $2.50
o IEEPA reciprocal tariff from Japan at 24% applied = $24.00

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.
