Customs and Border Protection (CBP) last night confirmed that the Commerce Secretary has certified collection of the 25% import duty on certain imports of steel and aluminum articles and all derivatives from all countries, effective 12:01 a.m. ET on Wednesday, March 12. The notice from Commerce can be found at the following link: 2025-04210.pdf
This caught everyone off guard as they had been given 90 days to do this. The Federal Register Notice is expected to be issued on March 14.
We will provide further updates when available.
