Modifying Duties Addressing the Synthetic Opioid Supply Chain in the People’s Republic of China

The order directs federal agencies to reduce the additional ad valorem rate of duty on articles that are products of the People's Republic of China (PRC) from 20 percent to 10 percent, effective November 10, 2025. This reduction is in response to the PRC's commitment to take significant measures to end the flow of synthetic opioids, including fentanyl, to the United States. The Secretary of Homeland Security, in consultation with other agencies, is instructed to monitor the PRC's progress and may modify the order if necessary.
