Summary
This order changes U.S. import rules in response to foreign trade actions. It raises the tariff on Chinese-origin goods to 125% and increases duties on low-value and postal shipments from China. It suspends country-specific duties for trading partners listed in Annex I and instead applies a uniform additional 10% duty for 90 days, except for China, effective April 10 to July 9, 2025.
The commerce department, the border security agency, and the U.S. trade representative are directed to implement these changes with White House economic and national security advisors to respond to retaliation and protect U.S. manufacturing and economic security.
