White House Modifies Tariffs on Canadian and Mexican Goods

Posted by Timothy Miller on 3/6/25 5:00 PM

In a pair of Executive Orders published on March 6, 2025, President Trump announced amendments to the tariffs applied to products of Canada and Mexico to “minimize disruption to the United States automotive industry and automotive workers.”

Goods of Canadian or Mexican origin that are entered into the United States under the United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement (USMCA) will not be subject to the additional rate of duty outlined by previous Executive Orders.

The additional rate of duty for potash imported from Mexico or Canada will have its rate reduced from 25% to 10%.

These amendments will be effective for goods entered for consumption, or withdrawn from warehouse for consumption, on or after March 7, 2025.
