Modifying Reciprocal Tariff Rates Consistent with the Economic and Trade Arrangement Between the United States and the People’s Republic of China
This Presidential Action formally implements the economic and trade Arrangement reached between the United States and the People's Republic of China (PRC) following meetings in October 2025.
Citing progress on addressing non-reciprocal trade, the action continues the suspension of heightened reciprocal tariffs previously imposed on PRC imports until November 10, 2026.
The President justifies this extension by citing commitments from the PRC to cease retaliatory actions, ease export controls on critical minerals, and exponentially increase purchases of U.S. agricultural goods, all intended to remedy the national emergency declared in Executive Order 14257.
Modifying Duties Addressing the Synthetic Opioid Supply Chain in the People’s Republic of China
The document announces a modification to presidential actions taken under a national emergency concerning the synthetic opioid supply chain originating from the People's Republic of China (PRC).
Citing PRC commitments to halt the shipment of specific fentanyl precursor chemicals to the United States and control exports globally, the President reduces the additional ad valorem duty on targeted PRC goods from 20 percent to 10 percent, effective November 10, 2025.
The order directs the Secretary of Homeland Security to implement these changes in the Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTSUS) and mandates ongoing monitoring of the PRC's compliance, reserving the right to modify the order if commitments are not met.
