Following suit from today’s earlier report announcing the 25% tariff exemption for Mexican imports into the U.S. that qualify for preferential treatment under the United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement (“USMCA”), Canadian USMCA-qualifying goods are now also reported to be exempt.

Exemption for Canadian USMCA imports is also reported to last until April 2^nd, when then tariffs may be hiked on certain products as the administrations plans to set reciprocal trade treatment across specific commodities. More detail will be reported once available.

25% tariffs on all Mexican goods, 10% tariffs on Canadian energy and 25% tariffs on other Canadian imports initially went into effect March 4, 2025 at 12:01 a.m. EST.

This continues to be an evolving situation and there have been public discussions about other possible suspensions as well. Should you have any questions regarding tariffs or any other trade-related question, please contact any attorney at Barnes Richardson and Colburn.
