Order lowers added duties on covered goods from China

The President lowers the additional duty on covered goods from China from 20 percent to 10 percent. This covers goods already subject to the additional duty under Executive Order 14195, as amended. The change applies to the additional duty only and does not remove other customs duties or trade rules. Implementation must follow applicable law and depends on available appropriations. The 10 percent rate applies to goods entered for consumption, or withdrawn from a warehouse for consumption, at or after 12:01 a.m. Eastern Standard Time on November 10, 2025.

The Secretary of Homeland Security must monitor China’s efforts, report on relevant conditions, and recommend further action when needed. Monitoring covers China’s commitments to reduce the synthetic-opioid supply chain and other conditions tied to the national emergency. If China fails to carry out its commitments, the President may change this order as necessary. The Secretary may make related tariff-schedule changes through a Federal Register notice after consulting the U.S. International Trade Commission. The Secretary may use lawful rules, guidance, and delegated presidential powers to carry out the order. Monitoring and reporting continue after the order takes effect; any later change by the President would require a separate action.
