The pause on higher country-specific reciprocal tariffs for all covered countries except China takes effect tonight, April 10, at 12:01 a.m., said CBP in a CSMS message. Beginning at that time, all goods except goods for goods from China (including Hong Kong and Macau) and goods exempt from the reciprocal tariffs, including goods from Canada and Mexico, will be subject to the 10% tariff rate under subheading 9903.01.25.

President Donald Trump, on his social media account, said that he will drop high reciprocal tariffs that started today for 90 days. However, the 10% tariff imposed on nearly all trading partners will remain.

The reciprocal tariff on China will be set at 84% when it takes effect at 12:01 a.m. tonight, said CBP in an emailed CSMS message. That reflects an additional 50% tariff announced by President Donald Trump in response to Chinese retaliatory tariffs, on top of the 34% initially set for China.

President Donald Trump posted on social media that "if China does not withdraw its 34% increase above their already long term trading abuses by tomorrow, April 8th, 2025, the United States will impose ADDITIONAL Tariffs on China of 50%, effective April 9th." Also, "all talks with China concerning their requested meetings with us will be terminated!" he said. "Negotiations with other countries, which have also requested meetings, will begin taking place immediately."

Drawback will be available on recently announced reciprocal tariffs that take effect April 5 and April 9, CBP confirmed in an emailed CSMS message providing guidance on the tariffs. “Drawback is available with respect to the additional duties imposed pursuant to the Executive Order,” the CSMS message said.

The White House quietly released Annex III to President Donald Trump’s executive order on reciprocal tariffs yesterday, detailing Harmonized Tariff Schedule subheadings that will be used for the tariffs that take effect at 12:01 a.m. April 5 and April 9.

The White House released two annexes to its proclamation setting 10% reciprocal tariffs April 5, and higher country-specific tariffs for some on April 9, including a list of goods excluded from the tariffs, some because they're potentially subject to Section 232 actions.

Beer imported after 12:01 a.m. ET April 4, and empty aluminum cans imported after the same date, will have to pay 25% tariffs under Section 232 on the value of the aluminum in the products. The annex of derivative products has been amended by adding subheadings 7612.90.10 and 2203.00.00.

President Donald Trump is imposing 10% tariffs on all imports other than those from Canada and Mexico, beginning April 5, according to a call detailing the reciprocal tariff actions ahead of the speech. These tariffs are not on top of Section 232 tariffs on autos and metals, a senior government official said on the call.

The annex to the Section 232 auto tariff proclamation has been released, listing tariff subheadings subject to the 25% tariffs on passenger vehicles and light trucks beginning April 3, and setting the effective date for tariffs on auto parts at May 3 (and also listing the subheadings covered by those tariffs).
