in effect
This is an executive order (EO 14316, signed July 7, 2025) that extends a temporary pause on higher “reciprocal” tariff rates that had been set to expire. It is the latest in a series of orders adjusting import duties the President imposed under a declared national emergency tied to U.S. trade deficits.
A 90-day suspension of elevated country-specific tariff rates — originally set in April 2025 and due to expire at 12:01 a.m. on July 9, 2025 — is extended until 12:01 a.m. on August 1, 2025. During this extension, most trading partners (those listed in the original April 2 order) continue to face a flat 10 percent additional tariff rate rather than the higher, country-specific rates that would otherwise apply. China is explicitly excluded from this extension; a separate tariff arrangement with China established by EO 14298 (May 12, 2025) remains in place unchanged. Specific tariff schedule headings (9903.01.43–9903.01.62 and 9903.01.64–9903.01.76) are suspended during this window.
U.S. importers bringing goods into the country from most foreign trading partners (other than China) will continue paying the 10 percent additional tariff rate rather than higher country-specific rates through July 31, 2025. Businesses and consumers whose supply chains run through those countries — including manufacturers, retailers, and distributors — are directly affected by the cost of those duties. Foreign exporters selling into the U.S. market also remain subject to this interim rate while trade negotiations continue.
