The Department of Homeland Security has updated the rules regarding additional duties on products from China, including Hong Kong, due to changes in an Executive Order. These changes raise the tariffs from 10% to 20% on certain items, effective March 4, 2025. The order is part of a response to what the U.S. views as China's inadequate control over synthetic opioid supply chains. Some exceptions apply, such as items qualifying for de minimis exemptions, but these could change if the government determines that enough systems are in place to manage tariff revenues.

The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission has finalized a rule requiring electronic filing (eFiling) of certificates for imported consumer goods that need to comply with safety regulations. This rule aims to improve the efficiency of inspections and reduce port delays by using certificate data to better identify potentially harmful products. Companies will need to upload product details using the CPSC's Product Registry or similar systems, and they will have an 18- to 24-month window to implement these changes, depending on the type of import. The rule will impact both domestic and import businesses, but the CPSC estimates limited financial burden on small firms due to the structured roll-out period and digital solutions available.

The U.S. Department of Commerce determined that sales of chlorinated isocyanurates from Spain were not unfairly priced in the United States between June 1, 2022, and May 31, 2023. The investigation found no dumping, resulting in a zero percent dumping margin for the companies reviewed. Importers must still comply with filing requirements related to antidumping duties, but the companies will not face any additional tariffs during this period. These findings were published without any changes from the preliminary results earlier in the process.

The Department of Commerce has completed its review of antidumping duties on uncovered innerspring units from Vietnam for the period from December 1, 2018, to November 30, 2019. The review found that Angkor Spring Co., Ltd. does not qualify for a separate rate and is part of the Vietnam-wide entity with a rate of 116.31%. No changes were made following comments because none were received. The notice also informs importers to comply with the requirements to avoid being presumed as reimbursing antidumping duties, which could lead to double duties.

The United States International Trade Commission issued a correction to a previous notice regarding deadlines for filing documents related to investigations into chassis imported from China.

These changes are meant to ensure proper timing for all submissions.
