What Happened?
Effective September 29, U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) has blocked imports of specified Canadian alcoholic beverages, dairy, and motor-vehicle products. The new trade restrictions, enforced via the ACE system, will cause immediate rejection of non-compliant cargo entries and prevent their movement into Foreign Trade Zones or bonded warehouses. Goods that entered bonded storage before the deadline face a significant 50% ad valorem duty upon withdrawal.
