    CBSA applies 15%, 25% or 50% surtax on certain U.S.-origin goods from September 8, 2026

    CBSA states in Customs Notice 26-23 that, effective September 8, 2026, certain goods imported into Canada and originating in the United States are subject to a surtax of 15%, 25% or 50% of the value for duty under the United States Surtax Order (2026), with the Schedules to the Order listing the goods and applicable rates. The surtax applies only to goods that originate in the U.S. and does not apply to goods eligible to be marked as originating from Puerto Rico, Guam, the Northern Mariana Islands, American Samoa or the U.S. Virgin Islands.

    Why it matters: Importers of U.S.-origin goods must declare the applicable 15%, 25% or 50% surtax when accounting from September 8, 2026, and hold proof of origin and, for in-transit goods, proof of transit.

    CBP issued an advance notice of proposed rulemaking stating it is considering amending its regulations to require greater visibility into the supply chains of goods imported into the United States, including information on the parties involved in importation, technical solutions for tracing supply chains, and foreign export documentation that foreign exporters must submit to their customs authority before export to the United States. CBP says the proposals aim to detect and interdict illicit importations, especially goods illegally transshipped to evade U.S. customs and trade laws. Comments are due on or before December 1, 2026, under docket number USCBP-2026-1058.

    CBP collects $1 billion in duties since de minimis phaseout

    CBP states it collected over $1 billion in duties on more than 246 million low-cost shipments since the de minimis phaseout began in May 2025. Low-value shipments from China and Hong Kong lost duty-free eligibility on May 2, 2025, and CBP fully implemented the change worldwide on August 29, 2025 with the elimination of the de minimis exemption. CBP also reports that seizures of unsafe and non-compliant low-value goods rose 82% since de minimis ended for China and Hong Kong.
