Hurricane’s data-driven APIs are updated real time in line with changes to tariffs and compliance processing rules. Given the state of flux with the USA at the moment and the imposition of new additional tariffs, this page will be updated potentially several times a day.
USA / China / Canada / Mexico
We are closely monitoring the volatile situation with the imposition of tariffs by the current US Administration, and any and all changes imposed by them, or in retaliation by other nations, will be automatically applied by Hurricane systems from the point they apply.
Currently the following is in place for China:
- An additional ad-valorem duty rate of 20% applied on all goods originating from China. Whether shipped directly from China, or manufactured in China and shipped from a different nation.
- The previous removal of the $800 deminimis threshold for Chinese imports to USA, was reversed by Executive Order signed on 5th Feb, and published on 7th Feb.
The flat 25% tariff that was applied to Mexico and Canada has again been withdrawn
Iron and Steel Duties
As of 12th Mar 2025 at 12:01 EST the exemptions from the 25% additional import duties on steel and steel derived products afforded to Argentina, Australia, Brazil, Canada, EU Nations, Japan, South Korea, Ukraine and United Kingdom are to be removed. This means all steel imports in the US will now carry a 25% additional duty rate.
There will also be a 10% additional duty rate applied to Aluminium and Aluminium derived products.
Retaliatory Tariffs
China
China has issued a statement on measured, but retaliatory, duties to be levied against USA manufactured goods:

Mexico
As of the date of this article the USA and Mexico have agreed a further 30 day delay on tariffs being applied and as such we expect the retaliatory Mexican punitive tariffs to also be suspended.
Rest of the World
Furthermore we are monitoring the potential of tariffs that may be levied against the EU and UK, and the retaliatory tariffs that may follow should this happen.
