In accordance with the powers granted to 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 directive:
Section 1. Context. In Executive Order 14323, dated July 30, 2025, which addressed perceived threats from the Brazilian government, I identified that recent Brazilian policies pose a significant threat to the national security, foreign policy, and economic stability of the United States, with this threat largely originating from outside our borders. Consequently, I declared a national emergency regarding this situation and deemed it essential to impose an additional ad valorem duty rate of 40 percent on select imports from Brazil. Furthermore, I specified certain items in Annex I of Executive Order 14323 that would be exempt from this additional duty.
On October 6, 2025, I held a discussion with Brazilian President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva, during which we mutually agreed to initiate negotiations to address the issues outlined in Executive Order 14323. These discussions are still in progress. I have also received further insights and recommendations from officials monitoring the ongoing situation related to this emergency. Notably, they have suggested that specific agricultural imports from Brazil should be exempt from the additional duty, citing initial advancements in diplomatic negotiations with Brazil.
After reviewing the recommendations from these officials and considering the current state of negotiations with Brazil, I have concluded that it is both necessary and appropriate to revise the list of products affected by the additional ad valorem duty under Executive Order 14323. Specifically, certain agricultural products will no longer incur this additional duty. Therefore, an updated Annex I to Executive Order 14323 is attached to this directive, effective for goods entering consumption or being withdrawn from warehouses starting at 12:01 a.m. Eastern Standard Time on November 13, 2025. I believe these adjustments are crucial to effectively address the national emergency outlined in Executive Order 14323.
Sec. 2. Tariff Adjustments. The Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States will be updated as specified in Annex II of this order. These revisions will take effect for goods entering consumption or being withdrawn from warehouses on or after 12:01 a.m. Eastern Standard Time on November 13, 2025. Should the implementation of this order necessitate refunds for any duties collected, such refunds will be processed in accordance with applicable law and the standard procedures established by U.S. Customs and Border Protection.
Sec. 3. Execution. (a) The Secretary of State will continue to oversee the situation surrounding the emergency declared in Executive Order 14323, maintaining regular consultations with any senior officials deemed necessary. The Secretary shall keep me informed of any developments that might suggest the need for additional presidential actions.
(b) The Secretary of State, in collaboration with the Secretary of the Treasury, the Secretary of Commerce, the Secretary of Homeland Security, the United States Trade Representative, the Assistant to the President for National Security Affairs, the Assistant to the President for Economic Policy, the Senior Counselor for Trade and Manufacturing, and the Chair of the United States International Trade Commission, is tasked with taking all necessary actions to implement this order in accordance with relevant laws. The Secretary of State may delegate authority as appropriate within the Department of State. Each executive department and agency is expected to take appropriate measures within their jurisdiction to execute this order.
Sec. 4. Severability. Should any provision of this order, or its application to any individual or situation, be deemed invalid, the remaining provisions and their application to other individuals or situations shall not be affected.
Sec. 5. General Provisions. (a) Nothing in this order shall be interpreted to impair or otherwise affect:
(i) the authority granted by law to any executive department, agency, or its head; or
(ii) the functions of the Director of the Office of Management and Budget pertaining to budgetary, administrative, or legislative proposals.
(b) This order shall be implemented in compliance with applicable law and subject to the availability of appropriations.
(c) This order is not intended to, and does not, create any right or benefit, substantive or procedural, enforceable at law or in equity by any party against the United States, its departments, agencies, or entities, its officers, employees, or agents, or any other individual.
(d) The costs associated with the publication of this order will be covered by the Department of State.
