This applies to the tariff schedule provisions covering the specified additional duties on goods from China.

Treasury, Commerce, and the United States Trade Representative must monitor trade conditions and report updates to the President; the President may change the order if China fails to carry out its commitments. The review covers the United States trade deficit, trade barriers, domestic manufacturing and defense industries, and China’s commitments under the arrangement. The agencies must consult with State and other listed officials as appropriate. Any future change is discretionary and is not made by this order. The agencies must continue monitoring and report from time to time while the emergency and arrangement remain relevant.

The named agencies may issue rules, regulations, or guidance and take other legally authorized steps to carry out the order. The authority covers Treasury, Commerce, Homeland Security, and the United States Trade Representative, with possible redelegation within each agency. Agency actions must follow applicable law. All executive agencies must take appropriate steps within their authority. The order creates no enforceable right or benefit against the United States or other covered parties.
