*Updated August 7, 2025:

President Trump on Aug. 6 issued an Executive Order citing the International Economic Emergency Powers Act (IEEPA) authority imposing an additional 25% tariff on India because it imports Russian oil and oil products. It is important to note that this is not an increase to the IEEPA Reciprocal tariff announced last week. This is a separate tariff imposed under IEEPA to address India’s imports of Russian oil and oil products. As such, we will refer to this tariff as the IEEPA Russian Oil tariff.

As of the effective date below, all goods from India will be subject to the MFN duty, any applicable antidumping or countervailing duty, Section 201 duty, the IEEPA Reciprocal duty (25%), and the IEEPA Russian Oil tariff (25%), unless an exemption applies.

A summary of the IEEPA Russian Oil tariffs is included below.

President Trump released an Executive Order (EO) this morning, August 6th, imposing an additional 25% tariff on Indian product imports into the U.S., effective 12:01 a.m. ET on August 27, 2025. The purpose of the tariff, according to the White House, is in response to India’s continued import of Russian oil. The Trump administration issued this EO in response to Russia’s continued military incursion in the Ukraine.

This additional tariff rate, which is on top of the 25% reciprocal tariff set to take effect on Indian product imports at 12:01 a.m. ET on Aug. 7, 2025, will apply, except for goods that (1) were loaded onto a vessel at the port of loading and in transit on the final mode of transit prior to entry into the U.S. before 12:01 a.m. ET 21 days after the date of this order, Aug. 6; and (2) are entered for consumption, or withdrawn from warehouse for consumption, before 12:01 a.m. ET on Sept. 17, 2025, according to the EO.

The EO also states:

(b) The ad valorem duty imposed in section 2 of this order shall not apply to articles that are excepted by 50 U.S.C. 1702(b).

(d) The ad valorem duty imposed in Executive Order 14257 of April 2, 2025, as amended, shall apply in addition to the ad valorem duty imposed in section 2 of this order, when applicable pursuant to the terms of Executive Order 14257.

(e) Except for those articles that are eligible for admission under “domestic status” as defined in 19 CFR 146.43, articles that are subject to the duty imposed in section 2 of this order and are admitted into a foreign trade zone on or after 12:01 a.m. eastern daylight time 21 days after the date of this order must be admitted as “privileged foreign status” as defined in 19 CFR 146.41.
