Title 3—

Executive Order 14228 of March 3, 2025

The President

Further Amendment to Duties Addressing the Synthetic
Opioid Supply Chain in the People’s Republic of China
By the authority vested in me as President by the Constitution and the
laws of the United States of America, including the International Emergency
Economic Powers Act (50 U.S.C. 1701 et seq.) (IEEPA), the National Emergencies Act (50 U.S.C. 1601 et seq.), section 604 of the Trade Act of 1974,
as amended (19 U.S.C. 2483), and section 301 of title 3, United States
Code, I hereby determine and order:
Section 1. Background. With Executive Order 14195 of February 1, 2025
(Imposing Duties to Address the Synthetic Opioid Supply Chain in the
People’s Republic of China), I determined that the failure of the Government
of the People’s Republic of China (PRC) to act to blunt the sustained influx
of synthetic opioids, including fentanyl, flowing from the PRC to the United
States constituted an unusual and extraordinary threat, which has its source
in substantial part outside the United States, to the national security, foreign
policy, and economy of the United States. To address that threat, I invoked
my authority under section 1702(a)(1)(B) of IEEPA to impose ad valorem
tariffs on articles that are products of the PRC, as defined by the Federal
Register notice described in section 2(d) of Executive Order 14195, as amended by Executive Order 14200 of February 5, 2025 (Amendment to Duties
Addressing the Synthetic Opioid Supply Chain in the People’s Republic
of China).
Pursuant to section 3 of Executive Order 14195, I have determined that
the PRC has not taken adequate steps to alleviate the illicit drug crisis
through cooperative enforcement actions, and that the crisis described in
Executive Order 14195 has not abated.
Sec. 2. Amendment. In recognition of the fact that the PRC has not taken
adequate steps to alleviate the illicit drug crisis, section 2(a) of Executive
Order 14195 is hereby amended by striking the words ‘‘10 percent’’ and
inserting in lieu thereof the words ‘‘20 percent’’.
Sec. 3. General Provisions. (a) Nothing in this order shall be construed
to impair or otherwise affect:
(i) the authority granted by law to an executive department, agency, or
the head thereof; or

(ii) the functions of the Director of the Office of Management and Budget
relating to budgetary, administrative, or legislative proposals.
(b) This order shall be implemented consistent with applicable law and
subject to the availability of appropriations.
