Plain answers to the questions customs brokers ask about US tariffs, each with its legal authority and a link to the free tool that works out the number.
Does USMCA qualification remove Section 232 duties? — No. USMCA qualification can remove the regular (MFN) base duty on a qualifying good, but it does not exempt that good from Section 232 steel, aluminum and copper duties, which are applied separately.
What is AD/CVD, and how do I know if it applies to my import? — AD/CVD means anti-dumping and countervailing duties, also called special trade case duties. They offset unfairly low prices or foreign government subsidies, and they are set producer by producer, not as one flat rate for a tariff code.
