Key Points

  • This order stops the collection of extra taxes, called tariffs, on goods imported from several countries. These taxes were originally put in place to deal with issues like illegal drugs at the borders, trade deficits, and foreign policy threats.

    From policy text

    “declared or described national emergencies with respect to unusual and extraordinary threats to the national security, foreign policy, or economy of the United States and took actions to deal with those threats, including by imposing, pursuant to IEEPA, additional ad valorem duties on certain imports of certain foreign trading partners.”

  • The change affects products coming from many major trading partners, including China, Mexico, Canada, Brazil, Russia, Iran, and Venezuela. Businesses that bring these goods into the U.S. will no longer have to pay these specific extra fees as soon as the agencies can update their systems.

    From policy text

    “the additional ad valorem duties imposed pursuant to IEEPA in Executive Order 14193, as amended; Executive Order 14194, as amended; Executive Order 14195, as amended; Executive Order 14245; Executive Order 14257, as amended; Executive Order 14323, as amended; Executive Order 14329, as amended; Executive Order 14380; and Executive Order 14382 shall no longer be in effect and, as soon as practicable, shall no longer be collected.”

  • While the extra taxes are going away, the 'national emergencies' that were declared regarding these countries are still in effect. This means the government still considers these situations serious, even though it is changing how it uses taxes to handle them.

    From policy text

    “The national emergencies declared or described in Executive Order 14193, Executive Order 14194, Executive Order 14195, Executive Order 14245, Executive Order 14257, Executive Order 14323, Executive Order 14329, Executive Order 14380, and Executive Order 14382 or subsequent orders remain in effect and shall not be affected by this order.”

  • This order does not cancel all trade rules. Other types of taxes, like those on steel and aluminum or certain temporary surcharges, will stay in place. It specifically targets the 'value-based' duties created by several executive orders from 2025 and early 2026.

    From policy text

    “This order affects only the additional ad valorem duties imposed under IEEPA pursuant to the Executive Orders described in section 1 of this order. This order does not affect any other duties, including duties imposed under section 232 of the Trade Expansion Act of 1962, as amended, 19 U.S.C. 1862, and section 301 of the Trade Act of 1974, as amended, 19 U.S.C. 2411.”

  • For everyday Americans, this could eventually lead to lower prices for some imported products. When companies don't have to pay extra government fees to bring items into the country, they may pass those savings on to shoppers.
