The order excludes many listed agricultural imports from reciprocal tariffs and lets officials consider more exemptions for trading partners with trade agreements.
Many listed agricultural imports, including beef, produce, coffee, spices and fertilizers, are excluded from the reciprocal tariffs. Exact tariff codes and limits control.
For trading partners with reciprocal-trade agreements, officials may exempt additional listed goods from the tariffs. The annex does not guarantee an exemption.
The President removes the reciprocal tariffs from listed agricultural imports. Covered goods include many meats, fruits, vegetables, coffee, tea, spices, cocoa, juices and fertilizers properly classified under the listed U.S. tariff codes. Only goods that match the listed tariff classifications are excluded. Some classifications cover only part of a tariff category or apply only during stated seasons or for stated uses. Any required refunds must follow applicable law and Customs and Border Protection procedures. The changes apply to goods entered for consumption, or withdrawn from a warehouse for consumption, on or after 12:01 a.m. Eastern time on November 13, 2025.
The Secretary of Commerce and the U.S. Trade Representative may decide whether listed goods qualify for exemptions for each aligned trading partner. The framework covers goods listed in the potential-adjustment annex and trading partners that have concluded agreements on reciprocal trade. An exemption is not automatic. Officials must consider the trading partner’s commitments and the scope and nature of its agreement. Only goods properly classified under the listed tariff codes may be considered. The potential exemption framework applies to the tariff changes made effective for covered goods entered on or after November 13, 2025.
