EXCLUSIONS
Articles entered free of duty as a good of Canada under general note 11 to the HTSUS, including related chapter 98 and chapter 99 USMCA treatment, are not subject to the additional duty.
USMCA
Canadian goods entered free of duty under USMCA treatment in general note 11, including related chapter 98 and chapter 99 treatment, are not subject to the additional duty.
WHAT TO DO (OUR GUIDANCE, NOT LEGAL ADVICE)
Check Canadian entries for USMCA eligibility under general note 11 before applying the additional Canada duty. For potash from Canada that is not USMCA-exempt, update landed-cost calculations to use the reduced additional duty stated in the order.
