An alert from US Customs & Border Protection notified users of a glitch in the system that is used to exempt freight from tariffs, including shipments from China that were already on the water
The alert explained that US Customs discovered that the entry code for US shippers to use to have their freight exempted is not working & “the issue is being reviewed.”
For now, that means the tariffs are not being collected by the US govt.
Despite President Trump saying numerous times tariffs are in effect & being collected, shippers say they have not been charged higher tariff rates on their containers
VP at Savino: “Social media posts are not law on the pause & increase in tariffs. With the constant changes to the regulations, all customs brokers in our industry have a difficult task ahead of them.”
