New US tariffs on Europe compound challenges for the steel and aluminium sectors
09-04-2025

The recent decision by the United States to reintroduce tariffs on steel and aluminium imports has prompted significant concern among European industries. Announced in February 2025, the US government has reinstated a 25% tariff on steel and increased the tariff on aluminium from 10% to 25%. This adds to the challenges already faced by companies in regulated sectors, with regulations such as international sanctions, export controls and the Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism. We provide an overview of the current regulatory landscape and offer practical recommendations to help businesses deal with these developments.

New US tariffs and origin of goods
06-04-2025

All products originating in the UK are now subject to a baseline US tariff of 10%. Compare this with the tariffs levied against the EU (20%) and China (54%) and it can be seen that the origin of products exported to the US is crucial. The condition is that UK exporters must ensure that the products they export to the US originate in the UK (if they originate in the EU, even though they are exported from the UK, they will be subject to a 20% import duty in the US). We provide a brief overview of the new US tariffs and what ‘origin’ means in this context.

Local rules vs EU freedoms: Italian case law on customs representatives

Rules on customs representation, as part of customs law, are an exceptional competence of the EU. However, the EU lays down general provisions and leaves considerable discretion to the Member States in this area. This article examines a recent case in which the EU Court of Justice assessed whether Italian legislation governing the activities of customs agents was compatible with EU law.
