<h1>Agency proposes 25% ad valorem tariff on Party A imports, raising overall duty to 50% effective Aug 27, 2025</h1> A federal agency issued a draft order proposing an additional 25% ad valorem tariff on imports from Party A, effective 12:01 a.m. EDT on August 27, 2025, raising applicable levies to 50% when combined with an earlier 25% increase. The measure targets goods entered for consumption or withdrawn from warehouse on or after that time, with exemptions for goods loaded and in transit before the cutoff if cleared by September 17, 2025, and declared with a specified import code. The action is grounded in an executive directive tied to concerns over Party A's energy purchases from a third state; Party A has called the tariffs unjustified and reserves protective responses.
