SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: I. Background In Executive Order 14346 of September 5, 2025 (Modifying the Scope of Reciprocal Tariffs and Establishing Procedures for Implementing Trade and Security Agreements), President Trump determined that it is necessary and appropriate to take steps contemplated in trade and security framework agreements between a foreign trading partner and the United States and that any modification of tariffs required to implement such framework agreements is necessary and appropriate to deal with the national emergency declared in Executive Order 14257 of April 2, 2025 (Regulating Imports With a Reciprocal Tariff to Rectify Trade Practices That Contribute to Large and Persistent Annual U.S. Goods Trade Deficits), and to reduce or eliminate the threats to national security found in Proclamation 9704 of March 8, 2018 (Adjusting Imports of Aluminum Into the United States), as amended; Proclamation 9705 of March 8, 2018 (Adjusting Imports of Steel Into the United States), as amended; Proclamation 9888 of May 17, 2019 (Adjusting Imports of Automobiles and Automobile Parts Into the United States), as amended; and Proclamation 10962 of July 30, 2025 (Adjusting Imports of Copper Into the United States). That order also directs and authorizes the Secretary of Commerce (Secretary) and the United States Trade Representative (Trade Representative) to act in a manner consistent with the national interests of the United States, the purpose of Executive Order 14346, the need to deal with the national emergency declared in Executive Order 14257, and the need to reduce or eliminate the threats to national security the President has found pursuant to Section 232 of the Trade Expansion Act of 1962, as amended. The Secretary and Trade Representative, upon the conclusion of any framework agreement of a kind described in Executive Order 14346, are authorized to determine whether conditions to an action by the United States have occurred, to determine whether the United States must take any action to implement such framework agreement, and to take the necessary and appropriate actions to implement such framework agreement. That order also directs the Secretary and Trade Representative, in consultation with the Commissioner of U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP), the Chair of the United States International Trade Commission (USITC), and any other senior official they deem appropriate, to determine whether modifications to the Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTSUS) are necessary to effectuate that order and actions taken under that order and authorizes them to direct such modifications through notice in the Federal Register. On November 13, 2025, the United States and the Republic of Korea (ROK) issued a Joint Fact Sheet reaffirming the historic announcement in July of the Korea Strategic Trade and Investment Deal (U.S.-ROK Deal), which reflects the strength and endurance of the U.S.-ROK Alliance (https://www.whitehouse.gov/fact-sheets/2025/11/joint-fact-sheet-on-president-donald-j-trumps-meeting-with-president-lee-jae-myung/). During their state visit of October 31, 2025, President Trump and President Lee declared a new chapter in the U.S.-ROK Alliance, the linchpin for peace, security, and prosperity on the Korean Peninsula and in the Indo-Pacific region. The Joint Fact Sheet sets out steps the United States and the ROK will take to further the U.S.-ROK Alliance under the U.S.-ROK Deal. The U.S.-ROK Deal provides that, for goods of the ROK with a column 1 duty rate in the HTSUS that is less than 15 percent, the sum of the column 1 duty rate and the additional ad valorem rate of duty pursuant to Executive Order 14257, as amended, will be 15 percent. For ROK goods with a column 1 duty rate that is at least 15 percent, the additional ad valorem rate of duty pursuant to Executive Order 14257, as amended, will be zero percent. The U.S.-ROK Deal also provides that for timber, lumber, and their derivative products of the ROK with a column 1 duty rate less than 15 percent, the sum of the good's column 1 duty rate and the ad valorem rate of duty pursuant to Proclamation 10976 of September 29, 2025 (Adjusting Imports of Timber, Lumber, and Their Derivative Products Into the United States) will be 15 percent ad valorem and that for such ROK goods with a column 1 duty rate [[Page 55965]] that is at least 15 percent, the additional ad valorem rate of duty pursuant to Proclamation 10976 will be zero percent.\1\ The U.S.-ROK Deal also provides that goods of the ROK that fall under the World Trade Organization Agreement on Trade in Civil Aircraft, except for unmanned aircraft, will not be subject to tariffs imposed pursuant to Executive Order 14257, as amended, Proclamation 9704, as amended, Proclamation 9705, as amended, and Proclamation 10962. The U.S.-ROK Deal also provides that for automobiles and automobile parts of the ROK with a column 1 duty rate less than 15 percent, the sum of the good's column 1 duty rate and the ad valorem rate of duty pursuant to Proclamation 10908 of March 26, 2025 (Adjusting Imports of Automobiles and Automobile Parts Into the United States), as amended, will be 15 percent ad valorem. For such ROK goods with a column 1 duty rate that is at least 15 percent, the additional ad valorem rate of duty pursuant to Proclamation 10908, as amended, will be zero percent.\2\ For the purposes of this notice, ``column 1 duty rate'' means the applicable ad valorem or ad valorem equivalent rate of duty under Column 1--General or Column 1--Special of the HTSUS. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- \1\ Timber, lumber, and their derivative products of the ROK that are subject to the ad valorem rate of duty pursuant to Proclamation 10976 are all presently subject to a column 1 duty rate less than 15 percent. Clauses 8 and 14 of Proclamation 10976, which govern foreign trade zone entries and drawback eligibility, respectively, continue to apply to timber, lumber, and their derivative products of the ROK that are subject to this notice. \2\ Clause 15 of Proclamation 10984 of October 17, 2025 (Adjusting Imports of Medium- and Heavy-Duty Vehicles, Medium- and Heavy-Duty Vehicle Parts, and Buses Into the United States), which governs drawback eligibility, continues to apply to automobiles and automobile parts of the ROK that are subject to this notice. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Accordingly, the Secretary and Trade Representative, in consultation with CBP and USITC, have determined that modifications of the HTSUS are necessary to implement the U.S.-ROK Deal, a framework agreement for the purposes of Executive Order 14346, and direct the modifications set forth (i) in Part A of the Annex with respect to automobiles and automobile parts of the ROK, effective for goods entered for consumption, or withdrawn from warehouse for consumption, on or after 12:01 a.m. eastern time on November 1, 2025, and (ii) in Part B of the Annex with respect to other goods of the ROK entered for consumption, or withdrawn from warehouse for consumption, on or after 12:01 a.m. eastern time on November 14, 2025. Additional amendments to the HTSUS may be made at a later date to further implement the U.S.-ROK Deal. William Kimmitt, Under Secretary for International Trade, United States Department of Commerce.
