Executive Order 14323: Addressing Threats to the United States by the Government of Brazil

What does Executive Order 14323 do?

The order directs executive officials within existing statutory authority; its practical effect therefore depends on the later agency, regulatory, diplomatic or presidential actions identified below.

Reading the operative provisions of Executive Order 14323

EO 14323 declares a national emergency related to the Brazilian government and authorizes an additional duty on certain imports from Brazil under IEEPA. It includes product exceptions and assigns agencies implementation responsibilities. The order’s findings and operative terms appear in the Federal Register text of EO 14323. A declared emergency and additional duty do not mean that every Brazilian product is covered at the same rate.

Customs treatment depends on the product’s tariff classification, origin, any listed exception and the date of entry. Importers must also distinguish the additional duty from ordinary customs charges and other trade measures. The order’s annexes and later amendments control the precise scope; broad summaries cannot determine the duty for an individual shipment.

IEEPA supplies the emergency authority asserted in the order, and the administration must continue to comply with statutory reporting and review requirements. A later court decision or presidential amendment can affect implementation, so readers should check current customs instructions and the current legal record. The order’s emergency declaration, product coverage and actual collection are separate facts and should be reported independently.
