This order suspends country-specific ad valorem rates of duty enumerated in the executive order titled “Regulating Imports with a Reciprocal Tariff to Rectify Trade Practices that Contribute to Large and Persistent Annual United States Goods Trade Deficits” until July 9, 2025. Additionally, this order raises the additional rate of duty on Chinese imports from 84% to 125% effective April 10, 2025 and makes further adjustments to limit circumvention of tariffs.  

To combat Venezuela’s destabilizing actions and support for illicit activities, the Secretary of State in consultation with the Secretary of the Treasury, the Secretary of Commerce, the Secretary of Homeland Security and the U.S. Trade Representative, is authorized to determine in his discretion whether a tariff of 25% will be imposed on goods imported into the United States from any country that imports Venezuelan oil, whether directly through Venezuela or indirectly through third parties, on or after April 2, 2025. A party is found to be “indirectly” importing Venezuelan oil when the origin of the oil can reasonably be traced back to Venezuela, as determined by the Secretary of Commerce.

The executive order directs the Secretary of Commerce to conduct an investigation pursuant to Section 232 of the Trade Expansion Act of 1962 regarding “the effects on the national security of imports of timber, lumber, and their derivative products,” such as “paper products, furniture, and cabinetry.”  In undertaking this investigation, the President ordered the Secretary of Commerce to consider the following factors: 

Directs the Department of Justice to extend the enforcement delay of the Protecting Americans from Foreign Adversary Controlled Applications Act to TikTok until June 19, 2025. Further directs the Attorney General to issue a letter to each provider stating that there has been no violation of the statute and that there is no liability for any conduct that occurred during the specified period.

Orders that for each new regulation issued, at least 10 prior regulations be identified for elimination.  This practice is to ensure that the cost of planned regulations is responsibly managed and controlled through a rigorous regulatory budgeting process.

This EO instructs the Attorney General to delay enforcement of the TikTok ban for 75 days. The Attorney General will issue a letter to each provider stating that there has been no violation of the statute and that there is no liability for conduct that occurred between January 19, 2025 and January 20, 2025, when the EO was issued.  During the forthcoming 75-day period, the Trump administration intends to “determine the appropriate course forward” while “avoiding an abrupt shutdown of a communications platform used by millions of Americans.”
