By the authority granted to me as President by the Constitution and the laws of the United States of America, 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.), section 232 of the Trade Expansion Act of 1962, as amended (19 U.S.C. 1862), 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 establish the following determinations and orders:
Section 1. Background
On May 8, 2025, United Kingdom Prime Minister Keir Starmer and I unveiled the General Terms for the Economic Prosperity Deal between the United States of America and the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland (General Terms). This landmark trade agreement is designed to open British markets to American businesses like never before, enhancing both the economy and national security of the United States. The deal promises billions in expanded market access for American exports, particularly in beef, ethanol, and other agricultural products.
Moreover, the United Kingdom has pledged to dismantle a multitude of non-tariff barriers that have historically discriminated against American goods, undermining the U.S. manufacturing sector and posing risks to national security. The General Terms further stipulate that the United States will establish an annual quota of 100,000 vehicles imported from the United Kingdom, subject to a 10 percent tariff rate. Additionally, the UK has committed to meeting American standards regarding the security of steel and aluminum supply chains destined for the United States, alongside ownership requirements for relevant production facilities. Should the UK fulfill these conditions, the U.S. will create a quota for UK-produced steel and aluminum at most-favored-nation rates.
Furthermore, both nations have agreed to negotiate favorable terms for pharmaceuticals and their ingredients produced in the UK, contingent on findings from an investigation under section 232 and compliance with specific supply chain security standards. Lastly, a structured approach will be adopted to address national security concerns in sectors that may be subject to future investigations under section 232. This includes strengthening aerospace manufacturing supply chains through tariff-free trade in certain aerospace products.
In my judgment, the actions outlined herein align with U.S. national interests and are essential to address the national emergency declared in Executive Order 14257 on April 2, 2025, which regulates imports with a reciprocal tariff to rectify trade practices contributing to significant and persistent U.S. goods trade deficits. This also aims to mitigate threats to national security identified in Proclamations 9704 and 9705, concerning aluminum and steel imports, respectively, and Proclamation 9888 regarding automobiles and parts.
Sec. 2. Automobiles and Automobile Parts
(a) I hereby establish an annual tariff-rate quota of 100,000 automobiles, classified under heading 8703 of the Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTSUS) for UK products. Imports within this quota, which would otherwise incur a 25 percent tariff under Proclamation 10908, will instead be subject to a combined tariff of 10 percent (7.5 percent plus the most-favored-nation rate of 2.5 percent). Imports exceeding this quota will be liable for the full duties set by Proclamation 10908. The quota will be adjusted for the 2025 calendar year to reflect the May 8 effective date of the General Terms and will take effect seven days after this order is published in the Federal Register.
(b) Automotive parts specified in note 33(g) of subchapter III of chapter 99 of the HTSUS that would typically face a 25 percent tariff under Proclamation 10908 will instead be subject to a total tariff of 10 percent, provided they are UK products intended for UK-made automobiles. This modification will take effect as of the publication date in the Federal Register notice as described in subsection (c) of this section.
(c) Within seven days of this order’s publication in the Federal Register, the Secretary of Commerce, in consultation with the U.S. International Trade Commission (ITC) and U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP), shall publish a notice modifying the HTSUS as necessary.
(d) The Secretary may issue rules, regulations, guidance, and procedures to implement the provisions of this section.
Sec. 3. Aerospace
(a) Regarding products from the United Kingdom covered by the World Trade Organization Agreement on Trade in Civil Aircraft, tariffs from the following Presidential actions and their amendments will no longer apply as of the publication date in the Federal Register notice described in subsection (b):
(i) Executive Order 14257, as amended;
(ii) Proclamation 9704, as amended;
(iii) Proclamation 9705, as amended.
(b) Within seven days following this order’s publication in the Federal Register, the Secretary, in consultation with ITC and CBP, shall publish a notice to modify the HTSUS as necessary.
(c) The Secretary may issue rules, regulations, guidance, and procedures to effectuate the provisions of this section.
Sec. 4. Aluminum and Steel Articles and Their Derivatives
(a) At a future date deemed appropriate, the Secretary, in consultation with the U.S. Trade Representative, will design and implement a tariff-rate quota for aluminum articles and their derivatives from the UK, in line with the General Terms and the intent of this order. Imports exceeding this quota will remain subject to the duties specified in Proclamation 9704, as amended.
(b) Similarly, the Secretary will establish a tariff-rate quota for steel articles and derivatives from the UK at an appropriate future time. Imports exceeding this quota will be subject to the duties outlined in Proclamation 9705, as amended.
(c) In deciding when and how to establish these quotas, the Secretary will act in the best interests of the United States while considering the UK’s actions in implementing the General Terms, the national emergency declared in Executive Order 14257, and threats to national security identified in the relevant proclamations.
Sec. 5. General Provisions
(a) This order does not impair or affect:
(i) the authority granted to federal departments or agencies, or their heads; or
(ii) the functions of the Director of the Office of Management and Budget related to budgetary, administrative, or legislative proposals.
(b) This order will be implemented consistent with applicable laws and subject to the availability of appropriations.
(c) This order does not create any enforceable rights or benefits, substantive or procedural, against the United States or its entities, officers, employees, or agents.
(d) The costs related to the publication of this order will be borne by the Department of Commerce.
