Modifying Duties Addressing the Synthetic Opioid Supply Chain in the People's Republic of China

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:

(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
Security deems appropriate, shall continue to monitor
the conditions underlying the national emergency
declared in Executive Order 14195, including the status
and progress of the PRC's implementation of its
commitments to alleviate the national emergency
declared in Executive Order 14195, and any other
relevant factors. The Secretary of Homeland Security
shall, from time to time, update me on the status of
these conditions. Should the PRC fail to implement its
commitments as described in section 1 of this order, I
may modify this order as necessary to deal with the
emergency declared in Executive Order 14195.

(b) The Secretary of Homeland Security, in
consultation with the Secretary of State, the Attorney
General, the Assistant to the President for National
Security Affairs, and the Assistant to the President
for Homeland Security, shall continue to inform me of
any circumstance that, in their opinion, might indicate
the need for further action and shall continue to
recommend to me additional action that, in their
opinion, will effectively deal with the emergency
declared in Executive Order 14195.

Sec. 4. Delegation. Consistent with applicable law, the
Secretary of Homeland Security is directed and
authorized to take such actions, including adopting
rules, regulations, or guidance, and to employ all
powers granted to the President, including those
granted by IEEPA, as may be necessary to implement and
effectuate this order. The Secretary of Homeland
Security, consistent with applicable law, may
redelegate any of these functions within the Department
of Homeland Security. All executive departments and
agencies shall take all appropriate measures within
their authority to implement this order.

Sec. 5. Severability. If any provision of this order,
or the application of any provision of this order to
any individual or circumstance, is held to be invalid,
the remainder of this order and the application of its
provisions to any other individuals or circumstances
shall not be affected.

Sec. 6. General Provisions. (a) Nothing in this order
shall be construed to impair or otherwise affect:

(i) the authority granted by law to an executive department or agency, or
the head thereof; or

(ii) the functions of the Director of the Office of Management and Budget
relating to budgetary, administrative, or legislative proposals.

(b) This order shall be implemented consistent with
applicable law and subject to the availability of
appropriations.
(c) This order is not intended to, and does not,
create any right or benefit, substantive or procedural,
enforceable at law or in equity by any party against
the United States, its departments, agencies, or
entities, its officers, employees, or agents, or any
other person.

(d) The costs for publication of this order shall
be borne by the Department of Homeland Security.
