Analyzed Economic Effects
3 provisions identified: 2 benefits, 0 costs, 1 mixed.
Annex II updates change tariff coverage
The order replaces Annex II to Executive Order 14257 and those changes take effect for goods entered for consumption, or withdrawn from warehouse for consumption, on or after 12:01 a.m. eastern daylight time 3 days after the date of this order (effective September 8, 2025). The Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTSUS) will also be modified as provided in Annex I, with those HTSUS modifications entering into effect on the date set in Annex I.
Zero-percent reciprocal tariffs possible for EU goods
The order implements parts of the U.S.-EU "Framework on an Agreement on Reciprocal, Fair, and Balanced Trade," including a U.S. commitment to reduce the reciprocal tariff under Executive Order 14257 to zero percent for certain products of the European Union and to reduce section 232 tariffs for automobiles and automobile parts originating from the European Union if the EU takes specified steps. These tariff reductions depend on the EU taking the described steps and on the conclusion of framework or final agreements.
Customs refunds for duties when implementation requires
If implementing a framework agreement or final agreement requires a refund of duties collected, U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) shall provide the refund to the extent consistent with law. Any refunds will be processed pursuant to applicable law and CBP's standard procedures for such refunds.
