On November 14, 2025, the White House issued a new Executive Order modifying how the US applies its reciprocal tariffs—specifically for a range of agricultural products. This change narrows the scope of the tariff program first created under Executive Order 14257 and later amended by Executive Order 14346.
What Changed?
The new order exempts agricultural products, comprising of over 200 distinct Harmonizes Tariff System (HTS) numbers, from reciprocal tariffs. These exemptions apply to goods that the US does not produce in sufficient quantities domestically as defined in this Executive Order. The exemptions apply to goods entered or withdrawn for consumption on or after 12:01 a.m. EST on November 13, 2025.
According to the White House, exempted products include:
- Coffee and tea
- Tropical fruits and fruit juices
- Cocoa and spices
- Bananas, oranges, and tomatoes
- Beef
- Additional fertilizers
