Summary
This executive order changes extra tariffs that were applied to some goods from Mexico to avoid hurting the U.S. auto sector. It excludes goods that qualify as Mexican under general note 11 of the Harmonized Tariff Schedule from the additional duty and lowers the special duty on potash from 25 percent to 10 percent for items not otherwise excluded.
The changes affect companies that make or supply automotive parts, workers in the auto industry, and businesses that import potash; they take effect for goods entered or withdrawn for consumption on or after March 7, 2025.
