President Donald Trump’s expanded reciprocal tariffs will not apply to any products loaded onto a vessel for transport into the US before 12:01 a.m. New York time on Thursday, according to guidance issued by US Customs and Border Protection.

The notice, posted by the federal government on Monday, outlines implementation of the tariffs Trump announced last week, which are expected to ratchet up levies on dozens of trading partners.
