In exercising the powers vested in me as President under the Constitution and various U.S. laws, including the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (50 U.S.C. 1701 et seq.), the National Emergencies Act (50 U.S.C. 1601 et seq.), and other relevant statutes, I hereby issue the following determination and order:
Section 1. Background
In my Executive Order 14257, dated April 2, 2025, I identified that the persistent and substantial annual trade deficits in U.S. goods represent an unusual threat to our national security and economic stability, largely arising from external sources. Consequently, I declared a national emergency to address this vulnerability, which involved implementing additional ad valorem duties deemed necessary.
Section 4(c) of Executive Order 14257 stipulates that if any trading partner makes significant efforts to rectify non-reciprocal trade arrangements and align with U.S. economic and security objectives, I may consider modifications to the Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTSUS) to reduce or limit the imposed duties.
In Executive Order 14266, issued on April 9, 2025, I determined that it was both necessary and fitting to temporarily suspend the application of additional ad valorem duties for a 90-day period on products from certain foreign trading partners listed in Annex I of Executive Order 14257, with the exception of the People’s Republic of China (PRC). Instead, a uniform additional ad valorem duty of 10 percent was imposed on articles from these trading partners, reflecting their willingness to engage with us on our national and economic security concerns. This suspension is set to expire at 12:01 a.m. EDT on July 9, 2025.
Based on fresh insights and recommendations from senior officials, including updates on discussions with trading partners, I find it necessary to extend this suspension until 12:01 a.m. EDT on August 1, 2025. Notably, the separate tariff suspension for the PRC, as established by Executive Order 14298 on May 12, 2025, will remain unchanged.
Sec. 2. Tariff Modifications
Effective from 12:01 a.m. EDT on July 9, 2025, the Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTSUS) will be modified to suspend specific headings and subdivisions, namely 9903.01.43 through 9903.01.62 and 9903.01.64 through 9903.01.76, as well as subdivisions (v)(xiii)(1)-(9) and (11)-(57) of U.S. note 2 to subchapter III of chapter 99 of the HTSUS, until 12:01 a.m. EDT on August 1, 2025.
Sec. 3. Implementation
The Secretary of Commerce, the Secretary of Homeland Security, and the United States Trade Representative are hereby authorized and directed, in consultation with other relevant authorities, to take all necessary actions to implement this order in accordance with applicable laws. This may include temporarily suspending or amending regulations or notices in the Federal Register, along with adopting relevant rules, regulations, or guidance, leveraging all powers granted to the President under IEEPA as needed. Each executive department and agency will implement this order to the fullest extent of their authority.
Sec. 4. General Provisions
(a) Nothing in this order should be interpreted to undermine or affect:
(i) the authority granted by law to any executive department or agency, or its head; or
(ii) the functions of the Director of the Office of Management and Budget concerning budgetary, administrative, or legislative proposals.
(b) This order will be executed in compliance with applicable law and subject to the availability of appropriations.
(c) This order is not intended to, and does not, create any enforceable rights or benefits at law or in equity by any party against the United States, its departments, agencies, officials, or any other individuals.
(d) The costs associated with the publication of this order will be covered by the Office of the United States Trade Representative.
