Plain-language summary

Auto-generated summaryWritten by claude-sonnet-5 from the order’s own text · prompt v4 ·

Ends the additional ad valorem duties imposed under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act by several prior executive orders addressing illicit drugs from Canada, the southern border, synthetic opioids from China, Venezuelan oil imports, reciprocal tariffs tied to trade deficits, and threats attributed to Brazil, Russia, Cuba, and Iran. Directs the head of each federal agency to immediately take steps to stop collecting these duties as soon as practicable. Instructs the Secretary of Commerce, the Secretary of Homeland Security, and the United States Trade Representative to determine whether the Harmonized Tariff Schedule needs updating and to make such changes through Federal Register notices. Clarifies that the underlying national emergencies remain in effect, that other non-tariff actions under those orders are unaffected, and that duties under separate trade laws, a related de minimis suspension order, and an import surcharge proclamation issued the same day are not changed by this order.

Claimed authority

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, it is hereby ordered

Quoted from the order as written. Many orders cite nothing more specific than “the Constitution and the laws”; this reproduces what the order claims, not an assessment of whether it holds.

Disposition

See: EO 14193, February 1, 2025; Executive Order 14194, February 1, 2025; EO 14195, February 1, 2025; EO 14245, March 24, 2025; EO 14257, April 2, 2025; EO 14323, July 30, 2025; EO 14329, August 6, 2025; EO 14380, January 29, 2026; EO 14382, February 6, 2026; Proc. 11012, February 20, 2026; EO 14388, February 20, 2026

Compiled after the fact by the National Archives, so recent orders often have none yet. An empty disposition means no record, not no activity.
