Adjusting Imports of Polysilicon and Its Derivatives Into the United States
This proclamation imposes minimum import prices (MIPs) and a 15% ad valorem tariff on polysilicon and downstream derivatives (ingots, wafers, solar cells, modules) effective December 4, 2026, to protect U.S. production capacity for semiconductor and solar supply chains. It also establishes an onshoring incentive program with construction deadlines by January 20, 2029, and includes differentiated tariff treatment for certain trading partners including the UK (10% rate) and EU/Japan/Korea/Taiwan/Switzerland/Liechtenstein (capped at 15% combined with Column 1 duties).
Strengthening Customs Enforcement
This executive order mandates comprehensive customs enforcement reforms targeting foreign importers of record (IORs), including stricter bonding requirements, prohibition of foreign IORs from filing informal entries, enhanced vetting, supply chain disclosure mandates, and tougher penalties for noncompliance. The order directs DHS to implement these changes through regulatory revisions within 90-180 days and seeks legislative recommendations within 45 days.
Modifying Duties To Address Threats to the United States by the Government of the Russian Federation
This executive order eliminates the 25 percent additional ad valorem duty on imports from India that was imposed by EO 14329 in August 2025, effective February 7, 2026. The removal is conditioned on India's commitments to stop importing Russian oil, purchase U.S. energy products, and expand defense cooperation with the United States over the next decade.
Modifying the Scope of Tariffs on the Government of Brazil
This executive order modifies the 40 percent ad valorem tariffs imposed on Brazil under EO 14323 by removing certain agricultural products from the tariff scope, effective retroactively to November 13, 2025. The modification follows negotiations between the U.S. and Brazilian presidents and ongoing diplomatic engagement.
Modifying the Scope of Reciprocal Tariffs and Establishing Procedures for Implementing Trade and Security Agreements
This executive order modifies the scope of reciprocal tariffs established under EO 14257 by updating Annex II to exclude certain goods, and creates formal procedures for implementing trade and security framework agreements and final agreements with trading partners. It specifically implements tariff reductions with the European Union under a newly announced Framework Agreement, while maintaining leverage by generally refusing to narrow tariffs before final agreements are concluded.
Addressing Threats to the United States by the Government of the Russian Federation
This executive order imposes an additional 25 percent ad valorem tariff on all imports from India, effective August 27, 2025, on the determination that India is directly or indirectly importing Russian oil. The order also establishes a monitoring and recommendation process for potentially extending similar tariffs to other countries found to be importing Russian oil, and delegates implementation authority across multiple agencies.
Further Modifying the Reciprocal Tariff Rates
Executive Order 14326 modifies reciprocal tariff rates imposed under EO 14257, replacing country-specific additional ad valorem duties with new rates in Annex I effective August 7, 2025. The order creates a 15% combined duty floor for EU goods, maintains a 10% default rate for unlisted partners, imposes a 40% transshipment penalty, and requires biannual publication of circumvention facility lists.
Addressing Threats to the United States by the Government of Brazil
Executive Order 14323 declares a national emergency over actions by the Brazilian government, citing interference with U.S. companies, censorship demands on U.S. social media platforms, and political persecution of former President Jair Bolsonaro. The order imposes a 40 percent additional ad valorem tariff on Brazilian imports effective August 6, 2025, with certain exceptions and a transit grace period through October 5, 2025. The Secretary of State is delegated broad IEEPA authorities and directed to monitor the situation and coordinate with other senior officials on potential modifications or additional actions.
Extending the Modification of the Reciprocal Tariff Rates
This executive order extends for 22 days the temporary suspension of higher reciprocal tariff rates on most trading partners, maintaining a reduced 10% ad valorem duty rate from July 9 to August 1, 2025. The order leaves unchanged the separate tariff arrangements with China established under a prior order.
Modifying Reciprocal Tariff Rates To Reflect Trading Partner Retaliation and Alignment
This executive order raises tariffs on Chinese imports to 125% in response to China's announced 84% retaliatory tariff, while simultaneously suspending country-specific reciprocal tariffs for over 75 other trading partners and replacing them with a flat 10% additional duty for 90 days. It also increases de minimis duties on low-value postal shipments from China to prevent tariff circumvention.
Amendment to Reciprocal Tariffs and Updated Duties as Applied to Low-Value Imports From the People's Republic of China
This executive order escalates U.S. tariffs on China in response to Beijing's April 4, 2025 announcement of 34% retaliatory tariffs on all U.S. goods. It raises the reciprocal tariff rate on Chinese imports from 34% to 84% effective April 9, 2025, and dramatically increases de minimis duties on low-value postal shipments from China—from 30% to 90% ad valorem, with per-item fees rising from $25 to $75 (May 2-June 1) and $50 to $150 (from June 1 onward).
Regulating Imports With a Reciprocal Tariff To Rectify Trade Practices That Contribute to Large and Persistent Annual United States Goods Trade Deficits
This executive order declares a national emergency based on large and persistent U.S. goods trade deficits and imposes a baseline 10 percent additional ad valorem tariff on all imports from all trading partners, effective April 5, 2025. Higher country-specific reciprocal tariff rates take effect April 9, 2025 for trading partners listed in Annex I, with exemptions for certain goods including steel, aluminum, automobiles, pharmaceuticals, semiconductors, critical minerals, and energy products.
America First Trade Policy
This January 20, 2025 memorandum directs multiple Cabinet members and agency heads to conduct broad reviews and investigations across trade policy, with reports due by April 1, 2025 (and one by April 30, 2025).
