Following campaign promises, President Trump signed executive orders earlier this year implementing sweeping tariffs, including a blanket 25 percent tariff on all products from Mexico, unless they qualify for special treatment under the US-Mexico-Canada Agreement, also known as USMCA. According to an official White House announcement, this 25 percent tariff was imposed to address what Trump described as unfair trading practices, and took effect in March.
However, not all goods from Mexico are affected equally. U.S. Customs and Border Protection clarified that as of March 7, 2025, if a Mexican product satisfies USMCA rules of origin—which dictate where and how a product is made—then it remains exempt from these new tariffs. For products that do not meet USMCA standards, the full 25 percent tariff applies. There are also targeted 10 percent tariffs on specific items, like potash, that do not qualify for USMCA preferences.
Listeners should note that these changes are part of a wider U.S. trade strategy. In early April, President Trump announced a new “global tariff” regime, placing a 10 percent tariff on virtually all imports into the U.S. However, USMCA-compliant goods from Mexico are specifically exempted from this baseline tariff. For Mexico, the focus remains on the much higher 25 percent rate for non-compliant goods.
Reports from trade legal analysts and customs data confirm that these tariffs are not retroactive, so only imports arriving after the effective dates are affected. The rules for USMCA qualification—such as requirements regarding regional value content and origin—haven’t changed, but the stakes for compliance are now much higher for Mexican producers and U.S. importers.
The economic impact is significant. The Budget Lab at Yale just reported that the overall U.S. tariff rate is now at 17.8 percent, the highest seen since 1934. This has contributed to an average consumer loss of $2,800 annually, with price levels rising by nearly two percent. For lower-income households, the hit is particularly painful.
Headlines are dominated by businesses and trade groups in both countries pushing for clarity and potential relief, as producers scramble to adjust supply chains and certification paperwork to maintain USMCA status.
