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.
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.
