Executive Order (EO) 14346, “Modifying the Scope of Reciprocal Tariffs and Establishing Procedures for Implementing Trade and Security Agreements” signed on September 5, 2025, directed and authorized the Secretary of Commerce (Commerce), the Secretary of Homeland Security, and the United States Trade Representative (USTR) to take all necessary actions to implement and effectuate EO 14346, and further directed Commerce and USTR to determine whether the United States must take any action to implement a final trade and security framework agreement between a foreign trading partner and the United States, including any necessary modifications to the Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTSUS) through notice in the Federal Register.
Based on the authorization of EO 14346, Commerce and USTR are publishing a notice in the Federal Register to modify the HTSUS as they, in consultation with U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) and the U.S. International Trade Commission (ITC), have determined to be necessary and appropriate to effectuate the EO and the Framework on an Agreement on Reciprocal, Fair, and Balanced Trade (the EU Framework Agreement) that was announced by the United States and the European Union (EU) on August 21, 2025. On September 24, 2025, Commerce posted, “Implementing Certain Tariff-Related Elements of the U.S.-EU Framework on an Agreement on Reciprocal, Fair, and Balanced Trade” (2025-18660.pdf), with the relevant HTSUS modifications for public inspection in the Federal Register, with a scheduled publication date of September 25, 2025. CBP’s updated guidance below is based on the HTSUS modifications announced in this notice scheduled for publication on September 25, 2025. Read More→
