A lot has changed in the world of global trade in recent months. The U.S. federal government has implemented new IEEPA and reciprocal tariffs this year, while Section 301 tariffs on China remain in effect alongside updates to the existing Section 232 steel and aluminum tariffs. U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) is conducting more container inspections at U.S. ports of entry and issuing a record number of CF28 and CF29 requests to importers. Globally, Customs authorities are placing greater scrutiny on correct HTS code classification. On the export side, U.S. government agencies continue to rigorously enforce export laws and issue penalties for violations on a daily basis.
