U.S.-China trade is moving again; but importers shouldn’t treat a tariff change as a reason to stop checking the details.

The Trump-Xi summit and subsequent U.S.-China Board of Trade recommendations include proposed more favorable tariff treatment for roughly $30 billion in non-sensitive goods on each side. The recommended products span categories including household goods, toys, agricultural products and medical devices.

For importers, the takeaway is simple: check the specific product, HTS classification and applicable tariff treatment before assuming your landed costs have changed.

Trade policy can move quickly. Your entry documentation needs to keep pace.

Tariff rates can change quickly; your supply chain can’t afford to operate on yesterday’s information.

From changing duty rates to evolving customs requirements, importers need visibility into what’s happening before cargo reaches the port.

It only takes one unexpected incident to turn a successful shipment into a costly setback.

Freight insurance helps safeguard your investment against the unexpected, giving importers and exporters greater confidence when shipping domestically or internationally. Instead of hoping for the best, prepare for whatever comes next.

CAPE Phase III Filings Are Open; Is Your Company Ready to File?

U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) opened Phase III of the CAPE refund system on October 6, but your ability to file depends on when your attorney submitted your required Importer of Record (IOR) information.

If your company filed suit with the U.S. Court of International Trade (CIT) and your attorney submitted the required IRS/IOR information to CBP on or before July 30, 2026, now is the time to take action.

Contact American Shipping Company today to discuss your CAPE III filing. Email Ralph Natale at [email protected] for assistance determining your next steps and preparing your declaration.

Importers whose information was submitted after the July 30 cutoff must await further CBP guidance and rolling processing schedules.

Before You Book That Shipment…

Ask the questions that could affect your bottom line:

What tariff applies?
Is the product subject to additional duties?
Is the HTS classification correct
Could country of origin change the duty treatment?
Have the regulations changed since your last shipment?

In today’s trade environment, planning ahead isn’t optional; it’s part of responsible supply-chain management.

CAPE Phase 3 is live. If your company is eligible, now is the time to pay attention.

CBP deployed the third phase of its CAPE refund system yesterday, opening the process for finally liquidated entries covered by court-ordered re-liquidation.

By noon, 477 Phase 3 declarations had already been accepted, covering more than 425,000 entries.

And, the numbers across CAPE are substantial: As of Oct. 2, more than 297,000 declarations had been submitted, covering 27.4 million entries, with approximately $136.6 billion in potential and certified refunds accepted for processing.

If your company is among the importers affected, understanding which entries qualify, what CBP has already accepted and where declarations may be failing validation is critical.
