Imported automotive parts that can be filed under the free trade agreement between the U.S., Mexico and Canada will continue for now to face a 0% duty rate even as the 25% auto parts duty goes into effect for everyone else this weekend, CBP confirmed when it released guidance via a May 1 cargo systems message on the Section 232 import duties for certain auto parts.

CBP said it plans to publish by May 16 refund procedures "and any necessary updates" for imported goods that are no longer subject to tariff stacking, according to a May 1 cargo systems message.

CBP said in a Federal Register notice scheduled for April 30 publication that the quarterly Internal Revenue Service interest rates used to calculate interest on overdue accounts (underpayments) and refunds (overpayments) of customs duties will remain the same as for the previous quarter.

The interest rate for overpayments will be 7% for non-corporations and 6% for corporations.

Correction: Former CBP Executive Director of Trade Relations George Bogden was forced to resign because of his “ties” to Miles Taylor (see 2504250035), according to a report from the Washington Post. Someone in the administration started circulating Facebook pictures of Bogden at Taylor's first wedding, the story said. That wedding was before Taylor revealed he was behind an anonymous New York Times op-ed piece, but the Post reported that an anonymous attendee said Bogden was also at Taylor’s second wedding in 2023. Earlier this month, President Donald Trump signed a presidential memorandum pulling security clearances for Taylor and any "individuals at entities associated with Taylor."
