Summary
This order adjusts extra import duties that were imposed on certain Canadian goods to reduce harm to the U.S. auto industry and workers. It says goods entered free of duty as a Canadian product under general note 11 to the Harmonized Tariff Schedule (including related HTSUS treatments tied to the U.S.-Mexico-Canada Agreement) will not face the additional percentage-based duty imposed earlier.
The order also cuts the extra duty on potash not covered by that exemption from 25 percent to 10 percent. Changes apply to goods entered or withdrawn for consumption on or after March 7, 2025, and must be carried out consistent with law and available funding.
