The proclamation schedules the surcharge to stop at 12:01 a.m. EDT on July 24. There are three source-backed possibilities to monitor: it expires as scheduled, Congress passes legislation extending it, or the President suspends, modifies, or terminates it earlier. This page does not predict which outcome will occur.
Proclamation 11012 created exceptions under HTS 9903.03.02 through 9903.03.11. They include specified critical minerals, energy, pharmaceuticals, electronics, vehicles and parts, aerospace products, certain agricultural goods, information materials and donations, goods already subject to Section 232, qualifying USMCA goods from Canada or Mexico, and qualifying CAFTA-DR textiles and apparel. Exact Chapter 99 notes and product scope control.
Apply the 10% as a separate additional-duty layer only after checking HTS 9903.03.01 and the exception headings. Save the official source, entry date, exception analysis, and any Section 232 overlap next to the estimate. For entries on or after the scheduled endpoint, do not assume either 10% or 0% until a current official check is complete.

Proclamation 11012 schedules it through 12:01 a.m. EDT on July 24, 2026. It can be suspended, modified, or terminated earlier, and an extension beyond 150 days requires an Act of Congress.
No. The proclamation lists product, program, and tariff-authority exceptions under HTS 9903.03.02 through 9903.03.11. Verify classification, origin, USMCA or CAFTA-DR treatment, Section 232 coverage, and entry timing.
It can remain a separate additional layer alongside applicable duties such as Section 301, but the proclamation says it does not apply to the portion of an article already subject to Section 232 tariffs.
As of the July 13, 2026 review, no later extension action appeared on USTR’s official presidential tariff action list. Because the deadline is close and official action can change, check the linked Federal Register, USTR, USITC, and CBP sources again before relying on a rate.
