President Trump recently imposed a wide variety of tariffs on U.S. imports.

In doing so, he relied on various statutory authorities, executive orders (EOs) and proclamations, each with its own stated policy purpose. As a result, more than one tariff may apply to the same article being imported into the U.S. On April 29, an EO (Addressing Certain Tariffs on Imported Articles) was issued to address how to treat duties when more than one applies in order to avoid "stacking" (i.e., cumulative) tariffs on a single article.
