U.S. Customs: Duty Declaration System Experiencing Malfunction, Unable to Collect Duties Temporarily

BlockBeats News, April 12th: The U.S. Customs reported that the system used to exempt cargo tariffs has malfunctioned. Affected freight includes all traded goods of countries currently in the 90-day tariff suspension period implemented by the Trump administration.

The U.S. Customs stated that they found that the entry codes used by U.S. consignors to apply for duty-free goods were not working and that "this issue is under review." At the moment, this means that the U.S. government is temporarily unable to collect tariffs. The U.S. Customs indicated that they will release further updates once the issue is resolved. (FX168)
