10%, 12.5%, or 15%: Which U.S. Tariff Applies to Korean Goods? [GeXPs26-0819EN]

U.S. TARIFF UPDATE · KOREAN GOODS · SECTION 301 10%, 12.5%, or 15%: Which U.S. Tariff Applies to Korean Goods? A practical product-level guide for U.S. importers and Korean exporters. If you import a product from Korea, should you budget 10%, 12.5%, 15%, or something else? The answer cannot be determined from the shipping country alone. It depends on country of origin, the HTSUS classification, the normal MFN rate, exclusions, and any separate trade remedy. Bottom line: For non-excluded Korean goods covered by the new action, the additional Section 301 rate is generally adjusted so that the existing MFN rate plus the new Section 301 rate equals 12.5%. If the MFN rate is already 12.5% or higher, the new Section 301 rate is zero. Other duties can still apply. Why do 10%, 12.5%, and 15% all appear? 10% referred to the temporary Section 122 import surcharge that ran from February 24 through July 24, 2026. It should not automatically be carried into a post-July 24 calculation. 12...

Dubai 12-Digit HS Code Phase 3 | 5 Checks for Exporters [GeXPs26-0731EN] Dubai 12-Digit HS Code Phase 3 | 5 Checks for Exporters [GeXPs26-0731EN] Reference date: July 31, 2026 · UAE and GCC trade compliance · eXGateAI GeXPs Executive Summary Dubai Customs is moving its 12-digit Integrated Customs Tariff into Phase 3 starting in August 2026 . The main focus is goods imported from the Rest of the World into the Dubai mainland market. However, mainland imports, free-zone storage, transfers from a free zone into the mainland, GCC-bound shipments, and re-exports do not all follow the same treatment. Exporters should review trade flow, product classification, importer details, customs declarations, and document consistency rather than simply adding four digits to an existing HS code. Why Dubai Is Moving from 8-Digit to 12-Digit Codes Dubai Customs is phasing in a more detailed 12-digit tariff structure under the GCC Unified Customs Tariff framework. Official guidance...

U.S. Navy RFI: 5 Signals for Korean Shipbuilders and Allied Suppliers Copy Blogger Body HTML Opens as a complete preview; the button copies only the article body. GeXPs · Global Export & Supply Chain Intelligence · July 30, 2026 U.S. Navy RFI: 5 Signals for Korean Shipbuilders and Allied Suppliers What the reported destroyer and auxiliary-vessel market research means—and what it does not mean—for joint production, MRO, modules, technology and U.S.-based supply-chain partnerships. The U.S. Navy has reportedly requested information from major South Korean shipbuilders about destroyer design and production capacity, as well as a separate medium-sized auxiliary support vessel. An RFI is not a contract award. The strategic signal is that allied shipbuilding capacity is being examined more formally at a time when the U.S. naval industrial base faces persistent cost, schedule, infrastructure and workforce constraints. Accuracy first: It is too early to say th...

U.S. Customs Enforcement Is Tightening: A 2026 Compliance Playbook for Importers of Record and Foreign Exporters [GeXPn26-0623EN]

Image
The Evolving Architecture of U.S. Import Compliance The regulatory landscape governing entry into the United States market is undergoing a structural shift. U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) along with the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) have systematically shifted from post-entry auditing to real-time, gatekeeper-style enforcement at the port of entry. This tactical pivot places unprecedented legal and financial accountability on the Importer of Record (IOR), fundamentally altering how foreign exporters must manage trade documentation and supply chain visibility. For years, many cross-border supply chains relied on fragmented compliance structures where the foreign exporter and the domestic importer maintained a firewall between their internal operational data. Today, that separation is a significant operational liability. As entry verifications become increasingly automated and data-driven, a single disconnect in origin verification, valuation consistency, or entity ma...
