FRContinuing the Suspension of Duty-Free De Minimis Treatment for All Countries
President Donald Trump’s executive order continues the suspension of the duty-free “de minimis” exemption for low-value imports from all countries, including packages sent through the international postal system. It revises an earlier order to require that most of these shipments pay applicable duties, taxes, fees, and charges, and it directs Customs and Border Protection to collect those charges using updated procedures. For postal shipments, the order sets a temporary duty tied to the import surcharge established on February 20, 2026, and requires carriers or other approved parties to collect and send those payments to CBP. The order says it was issued because the administration determined that systems are now in place to collect these duties and that keeping the suspension in place remains necessary to address the national emergencies identified in earlier Trump orders.

FRStrengthening Actions Taken to Adjust Imports of Aluminum, Steel, and Copper Into the United States
President Donald J. Trump issued this proclamation to tighten existing section 232 import restrictions on aluminum, steel, and copper, saying these imports continue to threaten U.S. national security. The action changes the tariff rules so that, starting April 6, 2026, the duties generally apply to the full customs value of covered products rather than just their metal content, and it sets updated tariff rates for different categories of metal articles and derivative products, with some lower rates for certain United Kingdom products and items made entirely from U.S.-sourced metal. It also revises which derivative products are covered, removes some products from the tariff lists, and creates a new system that lets the Commerce Secretary and the U.S. Trade Representative jointly add more derivative products on a rolling basis instead of using the old inclusion process. Trump said the proclamation was issued to strengthen and refine the metal tariff system so it more effectively supports domestic metal production and addresses the national security concerns identified in earlier proclamations.

FRAdjusting Imports of Pharmaceuticals and Pharmaceutical Ingredients into the United States
President Donald J. Trump issued this proclamation after a Commerce Department investigation found that heavy U.S. reliance on imported patented pharmaceuticals and their ingredients threatens national security. The action imposes a 100 percent tariff on covered patented drugs and pharmaceutical ingredients, while allowing lower or zero tariff rates in certain cases, including for companies with approved plans to move production into the United States, companies with agreements on most-favored-nation pricing and onshoring, and some products covered by trade arrangements or special exemptions. It directs the Secretaries of Commerce and Health and Human Services to negotiate and enforce these agreements, set standards for onshoring plans, monitor compliance, and report back to the President. The proclamation was issued to reduce reliance on foreign-made patented medicines and drug ingredients and strengthen domestic pharmaceutical production tied to national security.

President Donald Trump issued this notice to extend for one more year the national emergency he originally declared on April 2, 2025, regarding trade practices tied to large and persistent U.S. goods trade deficits. The action says those conditions still pose what the administration describes as an unusual and extraordinary threat to U.S. national security and the economy, with causes coming in whole or substantial part from outside the country. It formally continues the emergency under the National Emergencies Act beyond April 2, 2026, and keeps in place the legal basis for actions previously taken under that emergency. The notice also directs that it be published in the Federal Register and sent to Congress.
