U.S. Enacts New Tariffs

On March 4, the White House enacted a sweeping set of new tariffs effective immediately: 10% on Canadian energy resources, 25% on all other Canadian goods, and 25% on all Mexican goods (as well as another 10% on Chinese goods).    

You can find guidance from U.S. Customs and Border Protection on implementation of the duties on Canadians goods here and guidance on implementation of duties on Mexican goods here. 

These tariffs stack on top of 25% worldwide tariffs on steel, aluminum, and certain derivative products, which are effective on March 12, 2025. 

Additionally, the Trump Administration has indicated that reciprocal tariffs are likely to be enacted effective April 2, though specifics are not available at this time.

No exclusion process is available for any of these tariffs.

NPGA hosted a webinar with trade counsel and NPGA members related to tariffs on propane from Canada on March 5.  And NPGA has a webinar scheduled with trade counsel for March 12 related to tariffs on parts and equipment.

NPGA trade counsel has also crafted fact sheets on both the Canadian/Mexican tariffs as well as the worldwide steel and aluminum tariffs.

NPGA will continue to educate DC policymakers on the impacts these tariffs have on the propane industry and we will continue to align with our partners, including the Canadian Propane Association (CPA) and like-minded industries.  A joint NPGA-CPA statement is available for dissemination.

NPGA has also launched a tariffs tab on the member side of NPGA.org. This tab will be updated regularly and includes a timeline of tariffs action, links to all relevant official materials, and NPGA synopses and communications.
