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

AI Summary: This is a policy document - specifically an executive order amending previous executive orders related to duties and trade with Canada. This regulation increases the additional ad valorem duty rate on certain Canadian products from 25% to 35% in response to what the document describes as Canada's inadequate efforts to address drug trafficking and illegal migration. The executive order also establishes new provisions for goods that are transshipped to evade duties, including imposing an additional 40% duty on such goods and requiring the Department of Homeland Security and other agencies to publish a list of countries and facilities involved in circumvention schemes every six months. The order maintains previous provisions from earlier executive orders regarding trade and border security, and authorizes the Secretary of Homeland Security to take necessary actions to implement the order, including adopting rules and regulations. The changes will take effect on August 1, 2025, and apply to goods entered for consumption or withdrawn from warehouse for consumption on or after that date.
