New import duties on Mexico goods
The Department of Homeland Security will modify the Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTSUS) to add specified duties on certain products that are products of Mexico, as set out in the Annex to this notice. This change implements Executive Order 14194 (as amended by Executive Order 14198) and the President’s March 2, 2025 amendment, and directly affects businesses that import or trade goods with Mexico.
Consumers may face higher retail prices
Because new duties will be added to certain products that are products of Mexico under the HTSUS (implementing Executive Order 14194, as amended and the March 2, 2025 amendment), sellers facing higher import costs may pass those costs on to buyers. You could see higher retail prices for goods that come from Mexico as a result of these duties.
