🚨 CBP Alert: New World Screwworm Threat Near the U.S. Border

U.S. Customs and Border Protection's Laredo Field Office is raising awareness about the New World Screwworm (NWS), an invasive pest that can affect livestock, pets, wildlife, and, in rare cases, humans. CBP is encouraging travelers to avoid transporting prohibited animal products and to remain vigilant when crossing the border.

The New World Screwworm was eradicated from the United States decades ago, but recent detections in Mexico have prompted increased prevention and monitoring efforts by CBP and USDA to help protect U.S. agriculture and livestock.

🌎 Protecting America's borders means protecting animal health, agriculture, and our food supply.

CBP Guidance Update: Section 232 Duties on USMCA-Qualifying Medium- and Heavy-Duty Vehicles

CBP has issued new guidance on the application of Section 232 duties under Proclamation 10984 for USMCA-qualifying medium- and heavy-duty vehicles. The 25% ad valorem duty will apply exclusively to the value of the non-U.S. content for approved imports, while the U.S. content, when properly reported and approved by the Department of Commerce, remains subject to a 0% additional duty.

Importers and filers must report these vehicles using a two-line entry structure in ACE—one line for the non-U.S. content subject to Section 232 duties under HTSUS 9903.74.03, and a second line for the U.S. content under HTSUS 9903.74.06. Accurate valuation breakdown, proper SPI coding, and matching HTSUS and country of origin reporting are required for compliance. Read more here:
