⚠️ Are you up to date with the latest changes to U.S. tariffs and import rules?

Many companies are currently eligible for refunds on unlawfully imposed IEEPA tariffs. Our team at Charles Happel, a. hartrodt’s U.S. customs brokerage, is advising importers on how to secure these repayments.

Looking ahead, the regulatory landscape is set to become even more complex. From 8 July 2026, the CPSC filing will require importers to digitally submit product safety documents in advance. This will significantly impact importing companies.
