New US duties: Rules for import and e-commerce have change.
123
The U.S. government has introduced a new package of trade tariffs that will have a significant impact to e-commerce and global logistics.
There measures include duties up to 25% on automotive components, steel, and aluminum. Although shipments under $800 USD temporarily benefits from minimis exemption, companies are urged to view their sourcing strategies, duty calculations and logistics timing.
| Tariff | Rate | Status | Notes |
| EU tariffs (retaliation) | 4.4–50% | Scheduled | Effective April 13th, 2025 |
| Steel and aluminum (global) | 25% | Active | Effective March 12th, 2025 |
| Auto parts (global) | 25% | Scheduled | Effective April 3rd, 2025 |
| Chinese-made goods | 20% | Active | De minimis active (<800 USD) |
| Canadian and mexican goods | 25% | Pausa | Non duty <800 USD |
| Mutual tariff schedule | TBD | Active | Effective April 2nd, 2025 |
| Retaliatory tariffs Canada | 25% | Active | Among USD 30 billion of goods |
| Mexico retaliatory tariff | TBD | Pausa | Ongoing negotiations |
These new tariffs will have direct effects on prices, margins and customs flows:
- Longer transit and customs clearance times: more documentation required
- Product origin more relevant than ever: tariff applies to origin, not place of shipment
- De minimis exemption still valid, but at risk: prepare for possible adjunstment
