The President

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 Emer-

gencies 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 (Impos-

ing 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 emer-

gency declared in Executive Order 14195. Specifically, the PRC has com-

mitted 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:
