CSMS # 65829726 - GUIDANCE: Reciprocal Tariff Updates Effective August 7, 2025

The purpose of this message is to update guidance on the additional duties due on imported merchandise, pursuant to the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (IEEPA), as set forth in the Executive Order (EO) 14257, as amended.  The July 31, 2025, EO, “Further Modifying the Reciprocal Tariff Rates” amends EO 14257 as follows.  

GUIDANCE
APPLICATION OF ADDITIONAL DUTY RATES

Imported goods of the countries identified in Annex I to the EO, other than those that fall within the identified exceptions, entered for consumption, or withdrawn from warehouse for consumption on or after 12:01 a.m. EDT on August 7, 2025, are subject to the Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTSUS) classifications 9903.02.02 – 9903.02.71 and associated reciprocal tariffs, as added to the HTSUS by Annex II of the EO.

The reciprocal tariff for goods of the European Union is dependent on the Column 1/General duty rate applicable to the goods.  For a good of the European Union with a Column 1 duty rate greater than or equal to 15 percent, the reciprocal tariff is zero and the entry must be filed under heading 9903.02.19.  For a good of the European Union with a Column 1/General duty rate less than 15 percent, the sum of the Column 1/General duty rate and the reciprocal tariff shall be 15 percent and the entry must be filed under heading 9903.02.20.

The July 31, 2025, EO, “Further Modifying the Reciprocal Tariff Rates” does not alter or affect EO 14298, “Modifying Reciprocal Tariff Rates to Reflect Discussion With the People’s Republic of China.” Goods of China, including Hong Kong and Macau, continue to be subject to the 10% reciprocal tariff under heading 9903.01.25.
