Official record excerpt
Executive Order 14357 of November 4, 2025 Modifying Duties Addressing the Synthetic Opioid Supply Chain in the People's Republic of China By the authority vested in 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. ) (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 determine and order: Section 1 . Background. In Executive Order 14195 of February 1, 2025 (Imposing Duties To Address the Synthetic Opioid Supply Chain in the People's Republic of China), I found that the failure of the Government of the People's Republic of China (PRC) to act to blunt the sustained influx of synthetic opioids, including fentanyl, flowing from the PRC to the United States constitutes an unusual and extraordinary threat to the national security, foreign policy, and economy of the United States that has its source in substantial part outside the United States. I declared a national emergency with respect to that threat, and to deal with that threat, I imposed an additional ad valorem rate of duty of 10 percent on articles that are products of the PRC, as defined by the Federal Register notice described in section 2(d) of Executive Order 14195 , as amended. In Executive Order 14228 of March 3, 2025 (Further Amendment to Duties Addressing the Synthetic Opioid Supply Chain in the People's Republic of China), I raised from 10 percent to 20 percent the additional ad valorem rate of duty established in Executive Order 14195 , as amended, in response to the PRC's failure to take adequate steps to alleviate the illicit drug crisis described in Executive Order 14195 . After discussions between the United States and the PRC, among other things, the PRC has committed to take steps to alleviate the national emergency declared in Executive Order 14195 . Specifically, the PRC has committed to take significant measures to end the flow of fentanyl to the United States, including stopping the shipment of certain designated chemicals to North America and strictly controlling exports of certain other chemicals to all destinations in the world. In light of the PRC's commitment, the United States committed to, among other things, reduce the additional ad valorem rate of duty applicable under Executive Order 14195 , as amended, from 20 percent to 10 percent, effective November 10, 2025. Accordingly, I have determined that it is necessary and appropriate to deal with the national emergency declared in Executive Order 14195 by reducing the additional ad valorem rate of duty applicable under Executive Order 14195 , as amended, to 10 percent, effective November 10, 2025. Sec. 2 . Implementation. (a) All articles that are subject to the additional ad valorem rate of duty of 20 percent under Executive Order 14195 , as amended, shall instead be subject to an additional ad valorem rate of duty of 10 percent. Accordingly, subchapter III of chapter 99 of the Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTSUS) shall be modified as follows: Effective with respect to goods entered for consumption, or withdrawn from warehouse for consumption, on or after 12:01 a.m. eastern standard time on November 10, 2025: ( printed page 50726) (i) heading 9903.01.24 is amended by deleting “20%” each place that it appears and inserting “10%” in lieu thereof and by deleting “or U.S. note 2(w) to this subchapter”; and (ii) subdivision (u) of U.S. note 2 is modified by deleting “20%” and inserting “10%” in lieu thereof and by deleting “March 4, 2025” and inserting “November 10, 2025” in lieu thereof. (b) The Secretary of Homeland Security, in consultation with the United States International Trade Commission, shall determine whether any additional modifications to the HTSUS are necessary to effectuate this order and shall make such modifications through notice in the Federal Register . Sec. 3 . Monitoring and Recommendations. (a) The Secretary of Homeland Security, in consultation with the Secretary of State, the Secretary of the Treasury, and any other officials the Secretary of Homeland
