Is your business prepared?

Global trade regulations are shifting and businesses need to adapt. If you export to the U.S. or import from the U.S., recent changes in compliance rules and tariffs could directly affect your supply chain.

Key changes in trade regulations
For U.S. imports & exports
– Stricter CPSC compliance requirements for multiple product categories, including electronics, textiles, children’s products, and chemicals.
– 25 % tariffs on imports from Canada & Mexico under DDP terms, increasing costs for businesses shipping into the U.S.

For EU imports & exports from the U.S.
– Starting April 1, 2025, the EU will impose tariffs of 10%-50% on U.S. goods in response to U.S. duties on European steel and aluminum.
– Affected sectors include steel, aluminum, agriculture, and consumer products like whiskey, motorcycles, and cosmetics.

What this means for your shipments
– Increased costs due to higher import tariffs.
– Longer lead times and potential customs delays.
– Stricter compliance requirements for shipping to the U.S.
– Alternative logistics strategies may be needed to stay competitive.
