Adjusting Imports of Pharmaceuticals and Pharmaceutical Ingredients Into the United States
This proclamation imposes a 100 percent ad valorem tariff on patented pharmaceuticals and active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) under Section 232 of the Trade Expansion Act of 1962, with reduced rates for companies that commit to onshoring production (20 percent, rising to 100 percent in 2030) and for certain trade partners. It directs the Secretaries of Commerce and Health and Human Services to negotiate agreements addressing national security concerns, establishes criteria for onshoring plans, and exempts generic pharmaceuticals, biosimilars, and certain specialty products from the tariffs.
Strengthening Actions Taken To Adjust Imports of Aluminum, Steel, and Copper Into the United States
This proclamation significantly strengthens existing Section 232 tariffs on aluminum, steel, and copper imports by raising rates to 50% ad valorem on most metal articles and certain derivatives (25% for other derivatives), applying duties to full customs value regardless of metal content, eliminating prior inclusion processes, and creating a new joint authority for the Secretary of Commerce and USTR to add derivative articles on a rolling basis. It also establishes a temporary graduated tariff structure for certain Annex III products through 2027 before full rates apply in 2028, with special provisions for UK products and US-origin metals.
Imposing a Temporary Import Surcharge To Address Fundamental International Payments Problems
President Trump imposes a temporary 10 percent ad valorem import surcharge on nearly all goods entering the United States for 150 days, effective February 24, 2026, citing fundamental international payments problems including large balance-of-payments deficits. The proclamation includes extensive exceptions for critical minerals, energy products, pharmaceuticals, vehicles, electronics, agricultural products, and goods from Canada, Mexico, and CAFTA-DR countries, while empowering USTR to monitor conditions and recommend modifications.
Ending Certain Tariff Actions
This executive order terminates the additional ad valorem duties imposed under IEEPA across nine prior executive orders targeting Canada, Mexico, China, Venezuela, Brazil, Russia, Cuba, and Iran. The national emergencies underlying those orders remain in effect, and other duties (Section 232, Section 301) are unaffected. Agency heads must stop collecting these duties as soon as practicable.
Modifying the Scope of Tariffs on the Government of Brazil
This executive order modifies the 40 percent ad valorem tariffs imposed on Brazil under EO 14323 by removing certain agricultural products from the tariff scope, effective retroactively to November 13, 2025. The modification follows negotiations between the U.S. and Brazilian presidents and ongoing diplomatic engagement.
Adjusting Imports of Medium- and Heavy-Duty Vehicles, Medium- and Heavy-Duty Vehicle Parts, and Buses Into the United States
This Proclamation imposes Section 232 national security tariffs of 25% on medium- and heavy-duty vehicles (MHDVs) and key parts, and 10% on buses, effective November 1, 2025. It creates a USMCA content-based tariff system, an import adjustment offset program for U.S. assemblers through 2030, expands the scope for additional parts, and conforms with existing automobile tariff programs while also modifying steel/aluminum tariffs for Canadian/Mexican suppliers supporting U.S. vehicle production.
Modifying the Scope of Reciprocal Tariffs and Establishing Procedures for Implementing Trade and Security Agreements
This executive order modifies the scope of reciprocal tariffs established under EO 14257 by updating Annex II to exclude certain goods, and creates formal procedures for implementing trade and security framework agreements and final agreements with trading partners. It specifically implements tariff reductions with the European Union under a newly announced Framework Agreement, while maintaining leverage by generally refusing to narrow tariffs before final agreements are concluded.
Implementing the United States-Japan Agreement
This executive order implements a U.S.-Japan trade agreement by establishing a 15% baseline tariff on most Japanese imports with sector-specific modifications: aerospace tariffs are eliminated, automobile tariffs are adjusted to a 15% cap, and certain natural resources and generic pharmaceuticals receive zero tariffs. The order also commits Japan to $550 billion in U.S. investments, increased agricultural purchases, and defense equipment procurement.
Further Modifying Reciprocal Tariff Rates To Reflect Ongoing Discussions With the People's Republic of China
This executive order extends until November 10, 2025 the suspension of higher reciprocal tariff rates on Chinese imports that was originally set to expire on August 12, 2025. The extension reflects ongoing U.S.-China trade discussions and steps China has taken toward addressing non-reciprocal trade arrangements.
Further Modifying the Reciprocal Tariff Rates
Executive Order 14326 modifies reciprocal tariff rates imposed under EO 14257, replacing country-specific additional ad valorem duties with new rates in Annex I effective August 7, 2025. The order creates a 15% combined duty floor for EU goods, maintains a 10% default rate for unlisted partners, imposes a 40% transshipment penalty, and requires biannual publication of circumvention facility lists.
Addressing Threats to the United States by the Government of Brazil
Executive Order 14323 declares a national emergency over actions by the Brazilian government, citing interference with U.S. companies, censorship demands on U.S. social media platforms, and political persecution of former President Jair Bolsonaro. The order imposes a 40 percent additional ad valorem tariff on Brazilian imports effective August 6, 2025, with certain exceptions and a transit grace period through October 5, 2025. The Secretary of State is delegated broad IEEPA authorities and directed to monitor the situation and coordinate with other senior officials on potential modifications or additional actions.
Modifying Reciprocal Tariff Rates To Reflect Discussions With the People's Republic of China
This executive order temporarily reduces additional U.S. tariffs on Chinese imports from 145% to 10% for 90 days following U.S.-China trade discussions, while also lowering de minimis postal duties from 120% to 54%. The modifications take effect May 14, 2025, with certain provisions set to expire after 90 days unless extended.
Addressing Certain Tariffs on Imported Articles
This executive order prevents tariffs on automobiles, border-related goods, steel, and aluminum from stacking cumulatively on the same imported articles. When multiple listed tariffs apply to the same product, only the highest single applicable tariff rate applies rather than adding them together, with retroactive effect to March 4, 2025.
