Such duty-free de minimis treatment shall cease to be available for such otherwise eligible covered articles upon notification by the Secretary of Commerce to the President that adequate systems are in place to fully and expeditiously process and collect tariff revenue applicable pursuant to subsection (a) of this section for covered articles otherwise eligible for de minimis treatment.''

This edits an order on goods from Mexico. That order was itself amended in February 2025. Small parcels may still enter free of duty. That break ends on one condition. Commerce must tell the President that systems are ready. Those systems must be able to collect the duty.
Sec. 2. General Provisions

(b) This order shall be implemented consistent with applicable law and subject to the availability of appropriations. [[Page 11372]] (c) This order is not intended to, and does not, create any right or benefit, substantive or procedural, enforceable at law or in equity by any party against the United States, its departments, agencies, or entities, its officers, employees, or agents, or any other person. <GRAPHIC(S) NOT AVAILABLE IN TIFF FORMAT> (Presidential Sig.)

This is the closing clause that nearly every order carries. It says the order does not change what the law already allows. It also says no one can sue to enforce it.
