Are you exporting to the United States? A new customs measure, effective as of April 6, could significantly impact your U.S. sales and bottom line.
The Measure:
U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) has implemented increased oversight and potential additional duties on specific raw materials. (Official source: CBP Bulletin)
The Financial Impact:
We are looking at potential surtaxes of up to 50% on the customs value of your goods. For an SME, such a cost can instantly turn a profitable contract into a net loss.
Targeted Products:
The measure primarily targets components and products made of:
Steel
Aluminum
Copper
Priority Actions for Business Leaders:
Audit your HS Codes to identify affected products.
Evaluate the real financial impact on your current and future contracts.
Review your pricing strategies or supply chain if necessary.
**The actual financial impact depends on your products' specific Harmonized System (HS) classification and the origin of raw materials. A personalized assessment is essential to confirm your exact exposure level.
In today’s volatile trade environment, logistics is a financial strategy, not just an operational task.
