On March 6, 2025, the White House issued two Executive Orders (EO) delaying the 25 percent tariff on some products of Canada and Mexico effective March 7, 2025, at 12:01 a.m. Eastern Time. The EO’s do not specify an ending date to this action. Products of Canada and Mexico that qualify for the United States Mexico Canada Agreement (USMCA) including Chapter 98 and 99 will not be subject to the 25 percent additional tariffs as directed in EO 14193 or EO 14194. Lowers the additional tariff for potash from 25 percent to 10 percent for those products that do not qualify for USMCA.

Additionally, U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) provided additional guidance in Cargo Systems Messaging Service (CSMS) CSMS # 64336037 Imports from Canada and CSMS # 64335789 Imports from Mexico (see links below). The new classifications to be filed at the time of entry include:

Canada
9903.01.14 – Articles of Canada eligible for USMCA
9903.01.15 – Potash, per nine specific HTS outlined in the CSMS message

Mexico
9903.01.04 – Articles of Mexico eligible for USMCA
9903.01.05 – Potash, per the nine specific HTS outlined in the CSMS message
For all other Canadian and Mexican imported products that do not meet the eligibility requirements of USMCA General Note 11 of the Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTSUS), the 25 percent additional tariff will apply as of March 4, 2025. The import rates for Canadian energy products will remain at 10 percent.

White House Grants One-Month Tariff Exemption for Automakers

Global Logistics Alert banner

The reprieve applies to cars from Canada and Mexico that comply with free-trade deal; Trump is open to more exemptions

President Donald Trump is granting a one-month exemption on his stiff new tariffs on imports from Mexico and Canada for U.S. automakers, as worries persist that the newly launched trade war could crush domestic manufacturing. The pause comes after Trump spoke with leaders of the “big 3” automakers, Ford, General Motors and Stellantis, on Wednesday, according to White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt. Asked if 30 days was enough for the auto sector to prepare for the new taxes, Leavitt said Trump was blunt with the automakers seeking an exemption: “He told them that they should get on it, start investing, start moving, shift production here to the United States of America where they will pay no tariff.”

China, Canada, and Mexico retaliate with their own tariffs

China retaliated with tariffs of up to 15 percent on a wide array of U.S. farm exports. It also expanded the number of U.S. companies subject to export controls and other restrictions by about two dozen. Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau said Canada would plaster tariffs on more than $100 billion of American goods over the course of 21 days. Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum said Mexico will respond to the new taxes with its own retaliatory tariffs. Sheinbaum said she will announce the products Mexico will target on Sunday in a public event in Mexico City’s central plaza. The delay might indicate that Mexico still hopes to de-escalate the trade war set off by Trump.
