Impact of the New U.S. Tariff Policy on Customs Clearance

Overview:

On February 1, 2025, Eastern Standard Time, the U.S. government announced an additional 10% tariff on all products from China, including the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region.

Details:

On February 3, 2025 (Eastern Time), the U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) announced additional tariffs on imported products originating from China (including Hong Kong). Regardless of their value, all covered imported products will be assessed, and shipments containing such goods will no longer be eligible for the "de minimis" duty and tax exemption under 19 U.S.C. § 1321(a)(2)(C).

The United States will impose an additional 10% tariff on all products from China (including the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region).

The executive order imposing additional tariffs officially took effect at 12:01 AM Eastern Standard Time on February 4, 2025. Shipments arriving after this time or declared for arrival after this time are subject to the order. The "$800 de minimis exemption" and the "T86 clearance model" no longer apply.As a result, shipments from PCBWay to the U.S. will incur additional tariffs.

We will continue to optimize our website and services to provide a better experience in response to this situation.

Note: Since this policy has just started, the express delivery may be chaotic. We will update the latest news in time. If you have any questions, you can also ask your PCBWay sales rep and she will help you solve it.
