U.S. Customs and Border Protection Notice: Implementation of Additional Duties on Products of the People’s Republic of China

This Federal Register notice from U.S. Customs and Border Protection announces the implementation of additional duties on products imported from the People's Republic of China, pursuant to a presidential executive order addressing synthetic opioid supply chains. The order introduces a 10% ad valorem tariff on most Chinese goods, modifying the Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTSUS). Certain exceptions apply, including goods already in transit before February 1, 2025, and specific categories like donations intended for humanitarian relief. The notice also stipulates that the "de minimis" exemption will not apply to these goods and formal entry will be required for all mail shipments from China. The second notice from U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services concerns the termination of Temporary Protected Status (TPS) for Venezuela, initially designated on October 3, 2023 and set to expire April 2, 2025.
