April 2025 Tariffs Updates
April has brought us many new changes in regard to tariffs and how we successfully navigate the flow of information and how to apply the new tariffs correctly.
On April 7th, the Federal Register released Annexes to the Executive Order on reciprocal tariffs (Executive Order 14257 Regulating Imports With a Reciprocal Tariff To Rectify Trade Practices That Contribute to Large and Persistent Annual United States Goods Trade Deficits).
On April 8th, CBP published guidance on reciprocal tariffs effective on April 5th, 2025 and April 9th, 2025 via CBP’s Cargo Systems Messaging Service (CSMS # 64680374). This guidance is an update to CSMS # 64649265 issued April 4, 2025, “GUIDANCE – Reciprocal Tariffs, April 5, 2025, Effective Date”, adding the actions that are effective April 9, 2025, along with those effective on April 5, 2025.
