Exception to Mexico and Canada Tariffs for USMCA goods, etc

President Trump signs proclamation imposing tariffs on imported steel and aluminum

Earlier this week, President Trump imposed 25% tariffs on Canada and Mexico which we wrote about. The tariff situation has now changed, again. In our effort to keep our clients up to speed on changes (which are happening at light speed), we are posting what we know about the changes here, without substantial analysis, other than to say, exceptions have been made for USCMA goods and potash, with details in the official (draft) notices linked below for each country:

Mexico:

Implementation of Additional Duties on Products of Mexico Pursuant to the President’s Executive Order 14194, Imposing Duties to Address the Situation At Our Southern Border

 

Canada:

Implementation of Additional Duties on Products of Canada Pursuant to the President’s Executive Order 14193, Imposing Duties to Address the Flow of Illicit Drugs Across Our Northern Border
