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.

Dear Valued Client,
The President has announced on Truth Social that effective August 1, 2025, there will be a 50% tariff assessed on copper imports. The President states that copper is the second most used material by the Department of Defense.
The Administration ordered a Section 232 investigation on copper back in February. The President notes in his post that he has received robust National Security Assessment which results in the copper tariff announcement.
At this time, there is no official Executive Order addressing the copper tariffs.
