The White House,
Washington, March 17, 2025.
Hon. Mike Johnson,
Speaker of the House of Representatives,
Washington, DC.
Dear Mr. Speaker: Pursuant to the International Emergency
Economic Powers Act (50 U.S.C. 1701 et seq.), the National
Emergencies Act (50 U.S.C. 1601 et seq.), section 604 of the
Trade Act of 1974, as amended (19 U.S.C. 2483), and section 301
of title 3, United States Code, I hereby report that I have
issued Executive Order 14231 of March 6, 2025 (Amendment to

Border), which adjusts the tariffs imposed on articles of
Canada in Executive Order 14193 of February 1, 2025 (Imposing

the United States automotive industry and automotive workers.
I am enclosing a copy of the Executive Order I have issued.

Executive Order
----------
Amendment to Duties To Address the Flow of Illicit Drugs Across Our
Northern Border
By the authority vested in me as President by the
Constitution and the laws of the United States of America,
including the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (50
U.S.C. 1701 et seq.), the National Emergencies Act (50 U.S.C.
1601 et seq.), section 604 of the Trade Act of 1974, as amended
(19 U.S.C. 2483), and section 301 of title 3, United States
Code, I hereby determine and order:
Section 1. Background. Automotive production is a major
source of United States employment and innovation and is
integral to United States economic and national security. The
American automotive industry as currently structured often
trades substantial volumes of automotive parts and components
across our borders in the interest of bringing supply chains
closer to North America. In order to minimize disruption to the
United States automotive industry and automotive workers, it is
appropriate to adjust the tariffs imposed on articles of Canada
in Executive Order 14193 of February 1, 2025 (Imposing Duties
to Address the Flow of Illicit Drugs Across Our Northern
Border).
Sec. 2. Product Coverage. (a) Articles that are entered
free of duty as a good of Canada under the terms of general
note 11 to the Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States
(HTSUS), including any treatment set forth in subchapter XXIII
of chapter 98 and subchapter XXII of chapter 99 of the HTSUS,
as related to the Agreement between the United States of
America, United Mexican States, and Canada, shall not be
subject to the additional ad valorem rate of duty described in
section 2(a) or section 2(b) of Executive Order 14193.
(b) The additional rate of duty on potash that is not
subject to subsection (a) of this section shall be reduced to
10 percent in lieu of 25 percent.
(c) The modifications set out in this section shall be
effective with respect to goods entered for consumption, or
withdrawn from warehouse for consumption, on or after 12:01
a.m. eastern standard time on March 7, 2025.
Sec. 3. General Provisions. (a) Nothing in this order shall
be construed to impair or otherwise affect:
(i) the authority granted by law to an executive
department, agency, or the head thereof; or
(ii) the functions of the Director of the Office of
Management and Budget relating to budgetary,
administrative or legislative proposals.
(b) This order shall be implemented consistent with
applicable law and subject to the availability of
appropriations.
(c) This order is not intended to, and does not, create any
right or benefit, substantive or procedural, enforceable at law
or in equity by any party against the United States, its
departments, agencies, or entities, its officers, employees, or
agents, or any other person.
Donald J. Trump.
The White House, March 6, 2025.
