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).
Dear Valued Client,
On July 7, the administration has notified several different countries including Japan and South Korea of their new reciprocal tariffs that are expected to be applicable as of August 1. These letters are related to the reciprocal tariffs from the April 2 Executive Order 14257 that were paused starting on April 9.
Additionally, the President has signed an executive order extending the 10% reciprocal tariff to continue until at least August 1.

Dear Valued Client,
The President has posted on Truth Social that a deal has been made with Vietnam. The preliminary details indicate that Vietnam will be subject to 20% tariff on goods sent directly to the US and 40% on goods transshipping. The President’s post indicates that Vietnam will open their markets to the United States.
Currently this has only been posted on social media. It is not an official announcement.
Additional updates will follow once they are available.
On June 4, the Court of International Trade determined that IEEPA does not give the President authority to impose reciprocal or drug/border tariffs. The administration immediately filed an appeal and requested a stay.
On June 10, the Court of Appeals Federal Circuit (CAFC) issued the stay which means that for the time being, the IEEPA tariffs will remain while the courts litigate on this matter.
Oral arguments are scheduled for July 31 and a final decision from CAFC is not expected until at least August.
