U.S. Customs System Glitch Impacts Tariff Exemptions

A malfunction in the U.S. Customs system has disrupted the process of tariff exemptions for freight shipments, according to BlockBeats. This technical problem affects all goods originating from countries currently subject to a 90-day suspension on tariffs initiated under the Trump administration’s policies. The customs authority discovered that the entry codes used by shippers for applying for duty-free status are currently unavailable. Consequently, the U.S. government is temporarily unable to collect import duties. The U.S. Customs agency notes that they are actively reviewing the issue and will provide further updates upon resolution.
