Executive Order 14411: Strengthening Customs Enforcement
President: Donald J. Trump
Directed stronger customs enforcement, data sharing and action against evasion, fraud and misclassification.
Status: In effect.
Is Executive Order 14411 still in effect? Yes. Active customs-enforcement directive.

What does Executive Order 14411 do?
This action formed part of the 2025–2026 tariff framework. On February 20, 2026, the Supreme Court held that IEEPA does not authorize presidential tariffs; EO 14389 then ended the additional ad valorem duties imposed under the listed IEEPA orders. Measures based on other statutes and the all-country de minimis suspension require separate analysis.
Before and after
Before the order
The Harmonized Tariff Schedule reflected the then-current reciprocal, country-specific and product-specific treatment.
Earlier orders in the same lineage supplied the baseline that this order amended.
After the order
The order operates through existing customs and trade laws and is not dependent on IEEPA tariff authority.
EO 14389 ended the listed IEEPA additional ad valorem duties after the Supreme Court decision. It expressly preserved non-IEEPA duties and the separate all-country de minimis suspension.
