Amendment to Duties to Address the Flow of Illicit Drugs Across Our Northern Border

The order directs federal agencies to increase the additional ad valorem duty rate from 25% to 35% on certain products of Canada, in response to the country's alleged lack of cooperation in stopping the flow of illicit drugs across the northern border. The increased duty rate applies to all articles previously subject to the 25% rate under a prior order. The changes will be effective for goods entered for consumption, or withdrawn from warehouse for consumption, from August 1, 2025.
