In accordance with the powers bestowed upon me as President by the Constitution and the laws of the United States, including the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (50 U.S.C. 1701 et seq.) (IEEPA), the National Emergencies Act (50 U.S.C. 1601 et seq.), section 604 of the Trade Act of 1974, as amended (19 U.S.C. 2483), and section 301 of title 3, United States Code, I hereby issue the following order:
Section 1. Background.
In Executive Order 14193, dated February 1, 2025 (addressing the illicit drug trade across our northern border), along with subsequent orders including Executive Orders 14194, 14195, 14245, 14257, 14323, 14329, 14380, and 14382, I previously declared national emergencies in response to various threats posed to our national security, foreign policy, or economy. These measures involved the imposition of additional ad valorem duties on select imports from foreign trading partners.
Taking into account recent developments, I have decided that the additional ad valorem duties imposed under the aforementioned Executive Orders will be rescinded and will cease to be collected as soon as feasible. However, it is important to note that all other actions related to the national emergencies declared in these orders, which do not involve the imposition of additional ad valorem duties or the necessary steps to implement such duties, will remain unaffected. The national emergencies themselves, as outlined in the Executive Orders, persist and are not altered by this decision.
Sec. 2. Implementation.
(a) To facilitate the termination of the actions described in Section 1, the head of each executive department and agency is charged with taking appropriate measures to end the additional ad valorem duties imposed under IEEPA. These officials shall begin this process immediately and aim to halt the collection of these duties at the earliest opportunity. They are also permitted to delegate this authority within their agencies as needed, in accordance with applicable law.
(b) The Secretary of Commerce, the Secretary of Homeland Security, and the United States Trade Representative, in consultation with the Commissioner of U.S. Customs and Border Protection and the Chair of the United States International Trade Commission, will determine if any modifications to the Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States are required to implement this order. Any necessary changes will be published in the Federal Register.
(c) The Executive Order from February 20, 2026 (which continues the suspension of duty-free de minimis treatment for all countries), along with the Proclamation from the same date (which imposes a temporary import surcharge to address fundamental international payments issues), remain unchanged by this order.
(d) This order specifically targets only the additional ad valorem duties imposed under IEEPA, as outlined in the Executive Orders mentioned in this section. It does not affect other duties, such as those imposed under section 232 of the Trade Expansion Act of 1962 or section 301 of the Trade Act of 1974.
Sec. 3. General Provisions.
(a) This order shall not inhibit or otherwise affect:
(i) the authority granted by law to any executive department or agency, or their heads; or
(ii) the responsibilities of the Director of the Office of Management and Budget regarding budgetary, administrative, or legislative proposals.
(b) The implementation of this order shall be in accordance with applicable law and subject to the availability of appropriations.
(c) This order does not create any enforceable right or benefit, whether substantive or procedural, against the United States, its departments, agencies, or entities, or any individuals associated with them.
(d) The costs associated with the publication of this order will be covered by the Department of Homeland Security.
