Customs duties on imports of certain products originating in the USA
Decision
The European Parliament adopted its position at first reading on 1 April 2025 on the Commission proposal COM(2025)0027 to amend Regulation (EU) 2018/196, and instructed its President to forward that position to the Council, the Commission and national parliaments. Parliament noted the Committee on International Trade report A10-0034/2025 and recorded the Council representative's undertaking to approve Parliament's position.
What Changes
The adopted text amends the EU framework on additional customs duties applicable to certain products originating in the United States and is reflected in the agreed final legislative act, Regulation (EU) 2025/783. This modifies the legal basis for applying such additional duties and requires importers, exporters and customs compliance teams to align declarations, duty calculations and internal procedures with the amended regulation.
Who Is Affected
The measure concerns products originating in the United States and therefore affects EU importers of those products, US exporters of those products and EU customs authorities.
