The President has posted on Truth Social that Trade Talks with Mexico will be extended for 90 days.

The President stated that because of the complexities of a deal with Mexico, “We have agreed to extend, for a 90 day period, the exact same deal as we had for the last short period of time, namely that Mexico will continue to pay a 25% fentanyl tariff, 25% tariff on cars, and 50% tariff on steel, aluminum, and copper.”

For the next 90 days, trade with Mexico will continue as it has been.

The President has issued an executive order “Suspending Duty-Free De Minimis Treatment for All Countries” on July 30, 2025. This executive action falls under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (IEEPA).

This order modifies previous orders from February and April and removes the provision for all counties effective August 29. This means that the low value $800 de minimis provision will no longer be available. Low value shipments will still be allowed; however, all shipments will be subject to duties either through formal consumption entry (type 01) or informal entry (type 11-for values less than $2500). The order also notes that CBP may require a bond on informal entries.

The orders also address goods shipped in the international postal system. These goods will have to pay either the applicable IEEPA reciprocal duty rate, or a per package fee based on a country’s IEEP reciprocal tariff. If the IEEPA reciprocal tariff is less than 16%, then the per package rate will be $80. If it is between 16-25%, the per package rate will be $160. If greater than 25%, then the rate will be $200. Note that the per package fee will only be available for the first 6 months. After that, the applicable IEEPA rate will be applied.

The President has issued an executive order “Addressing Threats to the United States by the Government of Brazil” on July 30, 2025. This executive action falls under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (IEEPA).

The order imposes an additional ad valorem duty rate of 40 percent. Note that the existing IEEPA reciprocal tariff will also apply to goods subject to the new rate bringing the total rate to 50%. This action shall be in addition to any other duties, fees, taxes, etc. applicable to such imports, unless subject to existing or future actions under section 232 of the Trade Expansion Act of 1962, in which case the duty imposed in this order shall not apply.

The ad valorem rate imposed in the order shall not apply to items listed in Annex I (includes a wide variety of goods such as silicon metal, pig iron, civil aircraft, Brazil nuts, orange juice, some energy products, wood pulps, certain paper, etc.) of the order or items excepted by 50 U.S.C. 1702 (b) – (i.e. postal, telegraphic, telephonic, or other personal communication, donations of food, clothing and medicine intended to relieve human suffering; merely informational materials; transactions ordinarily incident to travel to or from any country, including importation of accompanied baggage for personal use)).

The order provides an in-transit exception. Goods in transit that were loaded on to a vessel at the port of loading and in transit on the final mode of transit prior to 12:01 am EDT August 6, 2025, and were entered for consumption, or withdrawn from warehouse for consumption before 12:01 am EDT on October 5, 2025, the tariff will not apply.

Products admitted to an FTZ after 12:01 am EDT on August 6, must be admitted as privileged foreign status. Retaliation to this order could result in increased or expanded scope. There is no express prohibition to claiming duty drawback on these tariffs.
