What’s the Latest

President Trump has issued an Executive Order modifying the scope of reciprocal tariffs originally imposed under EO 14257 and amended by EO 14346. The latest action exempts 237 Harmonized Tariff Schedule (HTSUS) classifications and 11 categories of agricultural products from reciprocal tariffs. These changes reflect progress in trade negotiations and assessments of domestic supply and demand.

What to Know

  • Products Exempted: Coffee, tea, tropical fruits, fruit juices, bananas, oranges, tomatoes, beef, chocolate, spices, and certain fertilizers as indicated by tariff classifications listed in Annex II of Executive Order

Implementation:

  • Applies to goods entered for consumption or withdrawn from warehouse on or after 12:01 a.m. EST, November 13, 2025.
