CBP Guidance Issued for Section 338 Tariffs on Canadian Origin Good
U.S. Customs has issued their formal guidance on how the new section 338 tariffs apply on Canadian goods. You can find the full details, including impacted HS codes and chapter 99 details, here.
What Section 338 means for your shipments to the USA:
- CUSMA/USMCA does not exempt these duties.
- Duties stack. The new 50% is charged on top of the regular duty owed, with an exemption for goods already subject to section 232 (steel/aluminum tariffs)
- Advance duty payment may be required for entries on or after August 21. Late payment risks interest, cargo holds, mandatory cash payment, and other CBP action.
- Shipments may face delays.
