The Trump administration has announced that certain dietary supplement and dietary ingredients have been excluded from the Harmonized Tariff Schedule (HTS) announcement on April 2.
In the executive order, President Trump provided a list of goods and materials (Annex II) that are classified in the 8-digit subheadings of the HTS that are exempt. Some of the vitamins and minerals included in Annex II are vitamins A, C, E, some forms of vitamin B and fatty acids of animal or vegetable origin, among others.
“We are truly thankful for President Trump’s thoughtful and industry-focused approach throughout the tariff process,” said Daniel Fabricant PhD, president and CEO of the Natural Products Association (NPA). “His administration’s willingness to listen and act on our concerns is a testament to their dedication to both public health and economic stability. We are excited to continue collaborating with this administration to prevent any supply chain disruptions and to explore innovative solutions, like reshoring, that will strengthen our industry and create American jobs—priorities that reflect the president’s vision for our great nation.”
