CBP Provides Instructions After Section 232 Tariffs Lifted for Canada, Mexico

Importers of steel and aluminum from Canada and Mexico no longer need to report HTS numbers 9903.80.01 or 9903.85.01 now that the Section 232 tariffs have been lifted from Mexico and Canada, CBP said in a CSMS message. "Effective for goods entered for consumption, or withdrawn from warehouse for consumption, on or after 12:01 a.m. eastern daylight time on May 20, 2019, the Section 232 duty on imports of steel and aluminum articles with a country of origin of Canada or Mexico will no longer be in effect," the agency said. Steel importers should report the regular Chapter 72 or 73 subheadings, while aluminum importers should report the regular Chapter 76 numbers, CBP said. Both Canada and Mexico also annunced an end their retaliatory tariffs (see 1905200054).
