The International Fresh Produce Association (IFPA) created a helpful section about tariff resources on its website.
IFPA is a trade association that grows prosperity for all companies in the global fresh produce and floral supply chain.
At the beginning of his second term as President, Donald J. Trump announced his intention to impose a 25% tariff on all imports from Mexico and Canada. Although the implementation of these tariffs was initially delayed following the announcement, they were officially approved and came into effect on March 4.
The IFPA created a helpful section called “Tariff Resources.” It claimed that IFPA resources can help people stay updated on tariff policies and regulations. To manage their obligations, people can access guidance documents, webinars, consultations, and regulatory updates.
The section “Tariff Resources” focuses on the impact of tariffs on agriculture: challenges and opportunities. The website explains that navigating tariff policies and regulations can be challenging, so they have put together resources that keep you updated and offer guidance. The tools and information will help people understand and comply with duties and tariff regulations when exporting or importing fresh produce and floral products.
