Addressing Threats To The United States By The Government Of The Russian Federation

The tariff increases U.S. trade pressure on India over its Russian oil purchases and may be extended to other countries that directly or indirectly import Russian oil.

What the order does ​

• Adds a 25% duty to covered Indian goods entering the United States beginning 21 days after the order.
• Applies the duty on top of other applicable tariffs, including reciprocal tariffs, but excludes goods subject to section 232 measures and specified statutory or product exemptions.
• Exempts qualifying goods already in transit if they enter before September 17, 2025.
• Directs the Department of Commerce to identify other countries importing Russian oil and officials to recommend whether similar tariffs should apply.
• Authorizes tariff changes or other action if countries retaliate, circumstances change, or affected governments address the stated emergency.
• Directs federal trade and customs officials to implement and enforce the tariff.

Who it affects ​

• U.S. importers of covered goods from India.
• Indian exporters and manufacturers selling covered goods to the United States.
• Countries that directly buy Russian oil or purchase traceable Russian oil through intermediaries or third countries.

Context ​

The order builds on the U.S. national emergency and import restrictions imposed in response to Russia’s actions against Ukraine.
