相互関税に関する最新情報とビジネスへの影響 (Japense Translation)
概要 相談の予約をする 相互関税の全容: ホワイトハウスはこのほど、国際緊急経済権限(IEEPA)に基づく相互関税プログラムの主要部分を最終決定した。各国との交渉はほぼ終了し、IEEPA権限に基づく対象国に対して新たな関税率が発効している。関税パッケージは米国の経済政策の転換を示すものであり、企業は自社の事業への影響を理解することが重要である。 2025年4月、トランプ大統領はほとんどの国からの全輸入品に10%の基本関税を課し、特定の国にはより高い関税を課した。その後、国ごとの関税は8月1日まで一時停止され(中国については8月12日まで延長)、その間に米国は新たな貿易協定に関する交渉を行い、その後、現在施行されている新たな相互関税率を発表した。 現在適用中の相互関税の新たな税率 トランプ政権は、新たな相互関税率を反映した以下の合意を発表した: 米国が貿易赤字を主張するほとんどの国に対しては、15%の税率が適用される。 多くの国が交渉を終えているが、米国政府とまだ協議中の国もある。例えば、中国、カナダ、メキシコとの交渉は継続中である。新たな貿易協定を結んでいない国々は、8月1日現在、以下の関税率が適用される: 中国は貿易交渉中であると報じられており、現在適用されている35%の税率は8月12日に失効する予定である。その日までに貿易協定が成立しなければ、対中関税率は最大125%という以前の税率に戻ることになる。 交渉が進むにつれて関税リストと税率がさらに更新される可能性があり、リスク評価と税関国境警備局(CBP)の取締りの焦点に応じて追加の国が追加される可能性もある。 企業は、特に協定が締結されていない国から調達したり、そのような国に販売している場合は、その変化を注視すべきである。 企業はまた、現在進行中の訴訟がこれらの関税の法的根拠を争っていることも忘れてはならない。マンハッタンの国際貿易裁判所(CIT)は、大統領がIEEPAを利用して関税を課したことは違法であると結論づけ、関税の一部を差し止めた。米国控訴裁判所は、訴訟が継続している間、関税賦課を継続することを認める延長執行命令を発令しました。確かなことは、訴訟が続く中でも企業は関税を支払い続けるべきだということである。 関税の積み上げと相互関税 関税の積み上げとは、単一の輸入製品に適用される複数の関税の累積的な影響を意味するが、企業は、第232条の関税は一般的に他の関税と「重複」しないことに留意すべきである。しかし、IEEPAに基づき課される相互関税は、以下の関税と重複する: 相互関税が積み替え関税に与える影響 8月7日午前0時1分(米国東部時間)に相互関税の更新が発効した際、積み替え輸送に影響が出た。積み替え輸送とは、貨物が最終目的地に到着する前に、中間港において、ある船舶から別の船舶に貨物を積み替えることである。米国税関は、特に高関税の回避を目的とした中間国を経由する貨物について、積み替えのスキームや原産国の虚偽申告に対する取り締まりを強化すると予想される。輸入者は、サプライチェーンにおける潜在的なリスクを検証し、実質的な変更と原産地の申告が十分に文書化されていることを確認すべきである。 8月7日午前0時1分(米国東部時間)以前に船舶への積み込みが確認された貨物については、輸送中の免除規定が適用された。輸送中の免除規定は、荷積みのタイミングを綿密に検討し、貨物の場所や船積みに基づいて最も有益な物流タイミングを達成するよう企業に動機付けた。 また、原産地の不正確な申告により減収となった積替え貨物に対する40%の罰金(軽減なし)にも注意が必要です。企業は原産地申告の裁定に異議を申し立てることができますが、罰金の額に異議を申し立てることはできません。 積み替え輸送は通常、出荷される物品の原産地には影響しないが、潜在的な影響を懸念する企業は、早急に経験豊富な関税アドバイザーに相談し、特定のサプライチェーン構成要素や新規則によるその他の潜在的影響を評価すべきである。さらに、企業は、出荷ベース関税の計算と適用を支援するアドバイザーに依拠する必要がある。…
