Dear client,
On August 19, a new U.S. tariff takes effect: a 50% duty on a specific list of Canadian-origin goods entering the United States. If your business ships any of these products south of the border, this is worth a close look before that date, not after.
Non-resident importers are facing closer CBP scrutiny on importer of record status right now, and HS code classifications that have worked fine for years are getting a harder look at the border. These issues often surface only after a shipment has cleared, through a CF28 request or a broader audit, and corrections can reach back five years.
Amber Coles leads our U.S. Trade Compliance & Regulatory work, bringing more than 20 years of experience in international trade and customs compliance — including tariff classification, customs valuation, duty mitigation, and CBP audits. When a shipment gets flagged or a classification is in question, you have someone who has handled it before, not someone learning on your file.
If you're not sure whether the new tariff affects your HS codes, or you want a wider audit of your import practices before August 19, talk to us. We'll walk through what's changing, what it means for your specific products, and where the real risk sits. We advise; final classification decisions remain the importer of record's responsibility.
