Imposing Duties To Address the Situation at Our Southern Border

This EO expands the scope of the national emergency declared under Proclamation 10886 to include the failure of Mexico to arrest, seize, detain, or otherwise intercept drug trafficking organizations (DTOs), other drug and human traffickers, criminals, and illicit drugs. Further, a 25% ad valorem rate of duty is imposed on all products of Mexico, beginning 2/4/25, except for goods entered for consumption. The Secretary of Homeland Security is directed to modify the Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the US (HTSUS) to effect this order. The tariff does not apply to products eligible for admission under "domestic status" as defined in 19 CFR 146.43. Further, the Secretary of Homeland Security is directed to consult regularly with Secretary of State, AG, Assistant to the President for National Security Affairs, and the Assistant to the President for Homeland Security regarding the situation on the southern border. Secretary of Homeland Security must consult with Secretaries of Treasury and Commerce and AG to adopt rules and regulations to enforce this EO. All agencies shall take appropriate action to enforce this EO.
