Pursuant to the Executive Order (EO) “Suspending Duty-Free De Minimis Treatment for All Countries,” issued on July 30, 2025, goods of all countries entering the United States will no longer be eligible for the administrative exemption from duty and certain tax at 19 U.S.C. § 1321(a)(2)(C) effective 12:01a.m. on August 29, 2025. Accordingly, all goods not identified in 50 U.S.C. 1702(b) may not receive so-called “de minimis” clearance to enter duty and tax free regardless of their value, country of origin, mode of transportation, or method of entry.

As of August 29, 2025, requests for de minimis entry and clearance for ineligible shipments will be rejected. Specifically, U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) will enact the following changes in the Automated Commercial Environment (ACE):

• ACE will reject all Section 321 manifest filings submitted via electronic data interchange (EDI)

• CBP will remove the option to file Section 321 manifests in the Truck Manifest Trade Portal

Updates to the applicable manifest and cargo release implementation guides are forthcoming and will be available on CBP’s ACE CATAIR webpage.

Beginning on August 29, filers will be required to submit an appropriate formal or informal entry type filed in ACE, except for shipments sent through the international postal network, along with payment of all applicable duties, taxes, and fees. Paper informal entries for goods subject to this EO are not permitted.

USITC Makes Determination in Five-Year (Sunset) Review Concerning Sugar from Mexico

The U.S. International Trade Commission (Commission or USITC) today determined that termination of the existing  suspended investigations on sugar from Mexico would likely lead to continuation or recurrence of material injury within a reasonably foreseeable time. 

As a result of the Commission’s affirmative determinations, the suspension of the antidumping and countervailing duty investigations on imports of these products from Mexico will remain in place. 

Chair Amy A. Karpel and Commissioners David S. Johanson and Jason E. Kearns voted in the affirmative. 

Today’s action comes under the five-year (sunset) review process required by the Uruguay Round Agreements Act. See the attached page for background on these five-year (sunset) reviews.

The Commission’s public report, Sugar from Mexico (Inv. Nos. 701-TA-513 and 731-TA-1249 (Second Review), USITC Publication 5664, September 2025), will contain the views of the Commission and information developed during the reviews.

The report will be available by October 3, 2025; when available, it may be accessed on the USITC website.

BACKGROUND

The Uruguay Round Agreements Act requires the Department of Commerce to revoke an antidumping or countervailing duty order, or terminate a suspension agreement, after five years unless the Department of Commerce and the USITC determine that revoking the order or terminating the suspension agreement would be likely to lead to continuation or recurrence of dumping or subsidies (Commerce) and of material injury (USITC) within a reasonably foreseeable time. Read More→

USITC Institutes Section 337 Investigation of Certain Child Car Seats

The U.S. International Trade Commission (Commission or USITC) voted to institute an investigation of certain child car seats. The products at issue in the investigation are described in the Commission’s notice of investigation.

The investigation is based on a complaint filed on behalf of Wonderland Switzerland AG of Steinhausen, Switzerland; Iron Mountains, LLC of Morgantown, Pa.; Nuna International B.V. of Leiderdorp, Netherlands; Nuna Baby Essentials, Inc. of Morgantown, Pennsylvania; Joie International Co. Ltd. of  Causeway Bay, Hong Kong; Joie Children’s Products, Inc. of Morgantown, Pennsylvania; and Graco Children’s Products Inc. of Atlanta, Georgia, on July 24, 2025. Supplements to the complaint were filed on July 30, 2025, and August 13, 2025. 
The complaint, as supplemented, alleges violations of section 337 of the Tariff Act of 1930 in the importation into the United States and sale of certain child car seats that infringe certain claims of the patents asserted by the complainants. The complainants request that the USITC issue a limited exclusion order and cease and desist orders.  

The USITC has identified the following respondents in this investigation:

• Dorel Juvenile Group, Foxboro, Mass.

• Dorel Industries Inc., Westmount, Canada

• Guangdong Roadmate Group Co., Ltd., Zhongshan, China

• Roadmate Trading (Hong Kong) Limited, Sheung Wan, Hong Kong

• Zhongshan Roadmate Juvenile Products Co., Zhongshan, China

By instituting this investigation (337-TA-1459), the USITC has not yet made any decision on the merits of the case. The USITC’s Chief Administrative Law Judge will assign the case to one of the USITC’s administrative law judges (ALJ), who will schedule and hold an evidentiary hearing. The ALJ will make an initial determination as to whether there is a violation of section 337; that initial determination is subject to review by the Commission.

The USITC will make a final determination in the investigation at the earliest practicable time. Within 45 days after institution of the investigation, the USITC will set a target date for completing the investigation. USITC remedial orders in section 337 cases are effective when issued and become final 60 days after issuance unless disapproved for policy reasons by the U.S. Trade Representative within that 60-day period.

Department of Commerce Closes Export Controls Loophole for Foreign-Owned Semiconductor Fabs in China

WASHINGTON, D.C. — Today, the Department of Commerce’s Bureau of Industry and Security (BIS) closed a Biden-era loophole that allowed a handful of foreign companies to export semiconductor manufacturing equipment and technology to China license-free. Now these companies will need to obtain licenses to export their technology, putting them on par with their competitors.

The loophole is known as the Validated End-User (VEU) program. In 2023, the Biden Administration expanded the VEU program to allow a select group of foreign semiconductor manufacturers to export most U.S.-origin goods, software, and technology license-free to manufacture semiconductors in China. No U.S.-owned fab has this privilege — and now, following today’s decision, no foreign-owned fab will have it either.

Former VEU participants will have 120 days following publication of the rule in the Federal Register to apply for and obtain export licenses. Going forward, BIS intends to grant export license applications to allow former VEU participants to operate their existing fabs in China. However, BIS does not intend to grant licenses to expand capacity or upgrade technology at fabs in China.  

Jeffrey Kessler, Under Secretary of Commerce for Industry and Security, stated:  

“The Trump Administration is committed to closing export control loopholes — particularly those that put U.S. companies at a competitive disadvantage. Today’s decision is an important step towards fulfilling this commitment.”

FURTHER MODIFYING RECIPROCAL TARIFF RATES TO REFLECT ONGOING DISCUSSIONS WITH THE PEOPLE’S REPUBLIC OF CHINA

By the authority vested in me as President by the Constitution and the laws of the United States of America, including the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (50 U.S.C. 1701 et seq.) (IEEPA), the National Emergencies Act (50 U.S.C. 1601 et seq.), section 604 of the Trade Act of 1974, as amended (19 U.S.C. 2483), and section 301 of title 3, United States Code, I hereby determine and order:

Section 1.  Background.  In Executive Order 14257 of April 2, 2025 (Regulating Imports With a Reciprocal Tariff to Rectify Trade Practices That Contribute to Large and Persistent Annual United States Goods Trade Deficits), I found that conditions reflected in large and persistent annual U.S. goods trade deficits, including the consequences of those exploding trade deficits, constitute an unusual and extraordinary threat to the national security and economy of the United States that has its source in whole or substantial part outside the United States.  I declared a national emergency with respect to that threat, and to deal with that threat, I imposed certain ad valorem duties that I deemed necessary and appropriate.

In Executive Order 14259 of April 8, 2025 (Amendment to Reciprocal Tariffs and Updated Duties as Applied to Low-Value Imports From the People’s Republic of China), and Executive Order 14266 of April 9, 2025 (Modifying Reciprocal Tariff Rates to Reflect Trading Partner Retaliation and Alignment), I ordered modifications of the Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTSUS) to raise the applicable ad valorem duty rate for imports from the People’s Republic of China (PRC) established in Executive Order 14257, in recognition of the fact that the State Council Tariff Commission of the PRC announced that it would retaliate against the United States in response to Executive Order 14257 and Executive Order 14259.

USTR Announces Fiscal Year 2026 WTO Tariff-Rate Quota Allocations for Raw Cane Sugar, Refined and Specialty Sugar, and Sugar-Containing Products

WASHINGTON – The Office of the U.S. Trade Representative (USTR) today announced the country-specific and first-come, first-served in-quota allocations of the tariff-rate quotas (TRQs) on imported raw cane sugar, refined sugar, and sugar-containing products for Fiscal Year (FY) 2026 (October 1, 2025 through September 30, 2026). The TRQs are allocated based on historical trade volumes.

TRQs allow countries to export specified quantities of a product to the United States at a relatively low tariff, but subject all imports of the product above a pre-determined threshold to a higher tariff. For clarity, all imports, whether within or over a U.S. TRQ, are subject to tariffs imposed by relevant executive orders issued pursuant to the President’s authority under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (IEEPA).

On July 17, 2025, the Administrator of the Foreign Agricultural Service of the U.S. Department of Agriculture (Administrator) announced the establishment of the in-quota quantity for raw cane sugar for FY 2026. The in-quota quantity for the TRQ on raw cane sugar for FY 2026 is 1,117,195 metric tons raw value (MTRV)*, which is the minimum amount to which the United States is committed under the World Trade Organization (WTO) Agreement. Based on countries’ historical shipments to the United States, USTR is allocating the raw cane sugar TRQ of 1,117,195 MTRV to the following countries in the quantities specified below: Read More→

AMENDMENT TO DUTIES TO ADDRESS THE FLOW OF ILLICIT DRUGS ACROSS OUR NORTHERN BORDER

By the authority vested in me as President by the Constitution and the laws of the United States of America, including the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (50 U.S.C. 1701 et seq.) (IEEPA), the National Emergencies Act (50 U.S.C. 1601 et seq.), section 604 of the Trade Act of 1974, as amended (19 U.S.C. 2483), and section 301 of title 3, United States Code, I hereby determine and order:
 Section 1.  Background.  In Executive Order 14193 of February 1, 2025 (Imposing Duties To Address the Flow of Illicit Drugs Across Our Northern Border), I declared a national emergency arising from certain conditions, including the public health crisis caused by fentanyl and other illicit drugs, and the failure of Canada to do more to arrest, seize, detain, or otherwise intercept drug trafficking organizations, other drug or human traffickers, criminals at large, and illicit drugs.  In that order, I found that those conditions constitute an unusual and extraordinary threat, which has its source in substantial part outside the United States, to the national security, foreign policy, and economy of the United States.
To deal with the emergency declared in Executive Order 14193, I imposed an additional ad valorem rate of duty of 25 percent on certain articles that are products of Canada and an additional ad valorem rate of duty of 10 percent on certain energy or energy resources that are products of Canada.  In Executive Order 14231 of March 6, 2025 (Amendment to Duties To Address the Flow of Illicit Drugs Across Our Northern Border), I provided that the additional ad valorem rates of duties under Executive Order 14193 do not apply to articles that are products of Canada that qualify for duty-free entry under the Agreement between the United States of America, United Mexican States, and Canada (USMCA), and I reduced the additional ad valorem rate of duty on potash from 25 percent to 10 percent.
Section 2(d) of Executive Order 14193 provides that “[s]hould Canada retaliate against the United States . . . through import duties on United States exports to Canada or similar measures,” I “may increase or expand in scope the duties imposed . . . to ensure the efficacy of th[e] action” taken in Executive Order 14193.  Section 3(b) of Executive Order 14193 provides that the Secretary of Homeland Security, in coordination with other senior officials, “shall recommend additional action, if necessary, should the Government of Canada fail to take adequate steps to alleviate the illegal migration and illicit drug crises through cooperative enforcement actions.” Read More→

Section 1.  Background.  In Executive Order 14257 of April 2, 2025 (Regulating Imports With a Reciprocal Tariff To Rectify Trade Practices That Contribute to Large and Persistent Annual United States Goods Trade Deficits), I found that conditions reflected in large and persistent annual U.S. goods trade deficits constitute an unusual and extraordinary threat to the national security and economy of the United States that has its source in whole or substantial part outside the United States.  I declared a national emergency with respect to that threat, and to deal with that threat, I imposed additional ad valorem duties that I deemed necessary and appropriate.  

I have received additional information and recommendations from various senior officials on, among other things, the continued lack of reciprocity in our bilateral trade relationships and the impact of foreign trading partners’ disparate tariff rates and non-tariff barriers on U.S. exports, the domestic manufacturing base, critical supply chains, and the defense industrial base.  I also have received additional information and recommendations on foreign relations, economic, and national security matters, including the status of trade negotiations, efforts to retaliate against the United States for its actions to address the emergency declared in Executive Order 14257, and efforts to align with the United States on economic and national security matters.

(IEEPA), the National Emergencies Act (50 U.S.C. 1601 et seq.), section 604 of the Trade Act of 1974, as amended (19 U.S.C. 2483), and section 301 of title 3, United States Code, it is hereby ordered:

Section 1.  Background.  In Executive Order 14193 of February 1, 2025 (Imposing Duties To Address the Flow of Illicit Drugs Across Our Northern Border), I declared a national emergency regarding the unusual and extraordinary threat to the safety and security of Americans, including the public health crisis caused by fentanyl and other illicit drugs and the failure of Canada to do more to arrest, seize, detain, or otherwise intercept drug trafficking organizations, other drug and human traffickers, criminals at large, and illicit drugs.  In that order, I determined that it was necessary and appropriate to, among other things, suspend duty-free de minimis treatment under 19 U.S.C. 1321(a)(2)(C) for articles described in section 2(a) and section 2(b) of that order.  In Executive Order 14226 of March 2, 2025 (Amendment to Duties To Address the Flow of Illicit Drugs Across Our Northern Border), I paused the suspension of duty-free de minimis treatment on such articles until I received a notification from the Secretary of Commerce (Secretary) that adequate systems are in place to fully and expeditiously process and collect duties for such articles that would otherwise be eligible for duty-free de minimis treatment.

In Executive Order 14194 of February 1, 2025 (Imposing Duties To Address the Situation at Our Southern Border), I declared a national emergency regarding the unusual and extraordinary threat to the safety and security of Americans, including the public health crisis caused by fentanyl and other illicit drugs and the failure of Mexico to do more to arrest, seize, detain, or otherwise intercept drug trafficking organizations, other drug and human traffickers, criminals at large, and illicit drugs.  In that order, I determined that it was necessary and appropriate to, among other things, suspend duty-free de minimis treatment under 19 U.S.C. 1321(a)(2)(C) for articles described in section 2(a) of that order.  In Executive Order 14227 of March 2, 2025 (Amendment to Duties To Address the Situation at Our Southern Border), I paused the suspension of duty-free de minimis treatment on such articles until I received a notification from the Secretary that adequate systems are in place to fully and expeditiously process and collect duties for such articles that would otherwise be eligible for duty-free de minimis treatment.
