Addressing Threats to the United States by the Government of Iran

[EO 14382] is an executive action signed by President (name not specified in the text) that creates a process to impose extra ad valorem tariffs on U.S. imports from countries that directly or indirectly purchase goods or services from Iran (Sec. 1; Sec. 2). The Secretary of Commerce must first find whether a foreign country buys Iranian goods or services, and the Secretary of State then recommends tariff levels to the President (Sec. 2(b)(i); Sec. 2(c)(i)-(ii)). The order lets the Secretary of Commerce and Secretary of State issue rules and guidance to carry out the plan (Sec. 2(b)(ii); Sec. 2(c)(iii)). This matters because it can raise prices on imported goods, change trade rules, and affect jobs for companies that import or export (Sec. 2; Sec. 6).
