India Additional Ad Valorem Tariff Terminated:
Products of India are no longer subject to the additional 25% ad valorem tariff that was imposed under Executive Order 14329 and implemented by CBP effective 12:01 a.m. EDT on August 27, 2025 (CSMS #66027027). This duty applied in addition to the separate IEEPA and reciprocal tariffs and other applicable duties. A subsequent executive order published on February 6, 2026 (White House Executive Order) terminated that additional duty by eliminating HTSUS headings 9903.01.84–9903.01.89, effective 12:01 a.m. EST on February 7, 2026. The order further states, “To the extent that implementation of this order requires a refund of duties collected, refunds shall be processed pursuant to applicable law and the standard procedures of U.S. Customs and Border Protection for such refunds.” (Federal Register Notice). Importers should identify entries on which the additional India tariff was paid, confirm whether those entries have liquidated or remain unliquidated, and assemble supporting documentation so they are prepared to file Post Summary Corrections or protests once CBP publishes formal refund claim guidance.
Please reach out with any questions or if you would like assistance in preparing or filing potential refund claims.
Canada IEEPA Tariffs Update:
The U.S. House of Representatives has voted to roll back President Trump’s tariffs on Canadian imports, passing a resolution 219–211 with a small number of Republicans joining Democrats in support. The measure would end the emergency declaration being used as the legal basis for the tariffs, signaling growing bipartisan concern about trade restrictions on a close ally like Canada. However, the vote is largely symbolic for now: the resolution still must clear the Senate, and even if it does, President Trump is expected to veto it, making a full repeal unlikely without a two-thirds override. Importers should continue to plan under the assumption that tariffs remain in place in the near term while monitoring Senate action and any related policy shifts. We will continue to track developments closely and provide updates as the situation progresses.
