Addressing Certain Tariffs on Imported Articles

What it means

This order prevents multiple tariffs from "stacking" on the same imported goods. It establishes a hierarchy where automobile tariffs take precedence over border tariffs, which in turn take precedence over steel and aluminum tariffs. The policy applies retroactively to imports since March 4, 2025.

Expected impact

• Reduced overall tariff burden for importers who previously paid multiple overlapping tariffs on the same goods
• Lower prices for consumers as companies may pass along some of the tariff savings
• Simplified customs procedures for businesses importing goods subject to multiple tariff measures
• Retroactive refunds for qualifying importers who paid stacked tariffs since March 4, 2025
• Maintained protection for domestic industries while balancing the economic impacts of multiple trade actions
