Further Modifying Reciprocal Tariff Rates To Reflect Ongoing Discussions With the People's Republic of China

Executive Order 14334 of August 11, 2025

Further Modifying Reciprocal Tariff Rates To
Reflect Ongoing Discussions With 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 14257 of
April 2, 2025 (Regulating Imports With a Reciprocal
Tariff to Rectify Trade Practices That Contribute to
Large and Persistent Annual United States Goods Trade
Deficits), I found that conditions reflected in large
and persistent annual U.S. goods trade deficits,
including the consequences of those exploding trade
deficits, constitute an unusual and extraordinary
threat to the national security and economy of the
United States that has its source in whole or
substantial part outside the United States. I declared
a national emergency with respect to that threat, and
to deal with that threat, I imposed certain ad valorem
duties that I deemed necessary and appropriate.

In Executive Order 14259 of April 8, 2025 (Amendment to
Reciprocal Tariffs and Updated Duties as Applied to
Low-Value Imports From the People's Republic of China),
and Executive Order 14266 of April 9, 2025 (Modifying
Reciprocal Tariff Rates to Reflect Trading Partner
Retaliation and Alignment), I ordered modifications of
the Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States
(HTSUS) to raise the applicable ad valorem duty rate
for imports from the People's Republic of China (PRC)
established in Executive Order 14257, in recognition of
the fact that the State Council Tariff Commission of
the PRC announced that it would retaliate against the
United States in response to Executive Order 14257 and
Executive Order 14259.

Subsequently, the United States entered into
discussions with the PRC to address the lack of trade
reciprocity in our economic relationship and our
resulting national and economic security concerns.
Therefore, in Executive Order 14298 of May 12, 2025
(Modifying Reciprocal Tariff Rates to Reflect
Discussions With the People's Republic of China), I
determined that it was necessary and appropriate to
address the national emergency declared in Executive
Order 14257 by modifying the HTSUS to suspend for a
period of 90 days application of the additional ad
valorem duties imposed on the PRC listed in Annex I to
Executive Order 14257, as amended, and to instead
impose on articles of the PRC an additional ad valorem
rate of duty as set forth in Executive Order 14298,
pursuant to the terms of, and except as otherwise
provided in, Executive Order 14257, as amended. This
90-day suspension expires at 12:01 a.m. eastern
daylight time on August 12, 2025.

The United States continues to have discussions with
the PRC to address the lack of trade reciprocity in our
economic relationship and our resulting national and
economic security concerns. Through these discussions,
the PRC continues to take significant steps toward
remedying non-reciprocal trade arrangements and
addressing the concerns of the United States relating
to economic and national security matters. Based on
this additional information and recommendations from
various senior officials, among other things, I have
determined that it is necessary and appropriate to
continue the

suspension effectuated by Executive Order 14298 until
12:01 a.m. eastern standard time on November 10, 2025.

Sec. 2. Continued Suspension of Country-Specific Ad
Valorem Rate of Duty. Heading 9903.01.63 and
subdivision (v)(xiv)(10) of U.S. note 2 to subchapter
III of chapter 99 of the HTSUS shall continue to be
suspended until 12:01 a.m. eastern standard time on
November 10, 2025.

Sec. 3. Implementation. The Secretary of Commerce, the
Secretary of Homeland Security, and the United States
Trade Representative, as applicable, in consultation
with the Secretary of State, the Secretary of the
Treasury, the Assistant to the President for National
Security Affairs, the Assistant to the President for
Economic Policy, the Senior Counselor to the President
for Trade and Manufacturing, the Chair of the United
States International Trade Commission, and the
Postmaster General, are directed to take all necessary
actions to implement and effectuate this order,
consistent with applicable law, including through
temporary suspension or amendment of regulations or
notices in the Federal Register and adopting rules and
regulations, and are authorized to take such actions,
and to employ all powers granted to the President by
IEEPA, as may be necessary to implement this order.
Each executive department and agency shall take all
appropriate measures within its authority to implement
this order.

Sec. 4. 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, 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 Office of the United States Trade
Representative.
