The order directs federal agencies to modify reciprocal tariff rates with the People's Republic of China (PRC). This change is in response to discussions between the two nations aimed at addressing trade reciprocity and security concerns. The order suspends for 90 days the additional ad valorem duties previously imposed on the PRC, replacing them with a 10 percent ad valorem rate of duty on all articles imported from the PRC, including Hong Kong and Macau, effective from 12:01 a.m. eastern daylight time on May 14, 2025.
