US Customs and Border Protection has announced that packages from China must undergo formal customs entry under new tariffs scheduled to be implemented on Tuesday. Chinese imports eligible for temporary duty exemptions will also face US tariffs of 10%. The move comes after US President Donald Trump delayed implementation of tariffs on Canada and Mexico until March 1, leaving only Chinese packages affected.
The US Customs and Border Protection agency has issued guidance for shippers on how to handle these shipments and address with a manifest filed before the order takes effect. The agency emphasizes the importance of trade awareness and messaging from customs officials during this transition period.
