Notice
Summary
Starting soon, the U.S. is updating extra taxes on certain products from China to fight the flow of synthetic opioids. This means importers will see new rules and fees on some Chinese goods, with changes kicking in right after the President’s orders in early February 2025. These updates also tweak how small shipments are treated, making sure the rules are clear and fair.

Additional Duties on China Products
The Secretary of Homeland Security is amending the February 5, 2025 notice to implement additional duties on certain products that are products of the People's Republic of China, pursuant to the President's February 1, 2025 Executive Order and the February 5, 2025 amendment. The notice modifies the Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTSUS) as set out in the Annex, so affected imports from China will be subject to the specified duties under the revised HTSUS entries.
Change to De Minimis Treatment
The amended notice also changes how goods are treated under the de minimis exemption for imports from the People's Republic of China as part of implementing the February 1, 2025 Executive Order and February 5, 2025 amendment. These changes address the treatment of small shipments (the de minimis exemption) for purposes of duties under the HTSUS.
