**DATES:**
The duties set out in the Annex to this document are effective with respect to products of India that are entered for consumption, or withdrawn from warehouse for consumption, on or after 12:01 a.m. eastern daylight time on August 27, 2025.

**SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:**
Executive Order 14066 of March 8, 2022 (Prohibiting Certain Imports and New Investments With Respect to Continued Russian Federation Efforts To Undermine the Sovereignty and Territorial Integrity of Ukraine), expanded the scope of the national emergency declared in Executive Order 14024 of April 15, 2021 (Blocking Property With Respect To Specified Harmful Foreign Activities of the Government of the Russian Federation), to include the actions taken against Ukraine by the Government of the Russian Federation. To address that unusual and extraordinary threat to the national security and foreign policy of the United States, Executive Order 14066 prohibited, among other things, the importation into the United States of certain products of Russian Federation origin, including crude oil; petroleum; and petroleum fuels, oils, and products of their distillation.
On August 6, 2025, after considering additional information received from various senior officials on, among other things, the actions of the Government of the Russian Federation with respect to the situation in Ukraine, the President found that the national emergency described in Executive Order 14066 continues and that the actions and policies of the Government of the Russian Federation continue to pose an unusual and extraordinary threat to the national security and foreign policy of the United States.
To deal with the national emergency described in Executive Order 14066, pursuant to the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (50 U.S.C. 1701 *et seq.* ) (IEEPA), the National Emergencies Act (50 U.S.C. 1601 *et seq.* ), section 604 of the Trade Act of 1974, as amended (19 U.S.C. 2483), and section 301 of title 3, United States Code, the President issued Executive Order 14329 on August 6, 2025, in which he determined that it is necessary and appropriate to impose an additional *ad valorem* rate of duty of 25 percent on imports of articles of India, which is directly or indirectly importing Russian Federation oil. [^1] In the President's judgment, imposing tariffs, as described below, in addition to maintaining the other measures taken to address the national emergency described in Executive Order 14066, will more effectively deal with the national emergency described in Executive Order 14066.
[^1] The terms “Russian Federation oil” and “indirectly importing” are defined in section 7 of Executive Order 14329.
Executive Order 14329 directed the Secretary of Homeland Security to determine and implement the necessary modifications to the Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTSUS), consistent with law, in order to effectuate the Executive Order.
In order to implement the rate of duty imposed by Executive Order 14329, effective on 12:01 a.m. eastern daylight time on August 27, 2025, subchapter III of chapter 99 of the HTSUS is modified by the Annex to this notice.
Products of India, except those set forth in section 3 of Executive Order 14329, that are entered for consumption, or withdrawn from warehouse for consumption, on or after 12:01 a.m. eastern daylight time on August 27, 2025, will be subject to the additional *ad valorem* rate of duty provided for in new HTSUS heading 9903.01.84. Products of India shall not be subject to such additional duty if they (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 United States before 12:01 a.m. eastern daylight time on August 27, 2025; (2) are entered for consumption, or withdrawn from warehouse for consumption, before 12:01 a.m. eastern daylight time on September 17, 2025; and (3) the importer certifies to CBP that the products qualify for this in-transit exception by declaring new HTSUS heading 9903.01.85 as described in the Annex to this notice.
Products of India that are encompassed by 50 U.S.C. 1702(b) will not be subject to the additional *ad valorem* duty provided for in new HTSUS heading 9903.01.84, but such qualifying products, other than products for personal use included in accompanied baggage of persons arriving in the United States, must be declared and entered under new HTSUS heading 9903.01.88 or new HTSUS heading 9903.01.89. Specifically, new HTSUS heading 9903.01.88 covers products encompassed by 50 U.S.C. 1702(b)(2) and new HTSUS heading 9903.01.89 covers products encompassed by 50 U.S.C. 1702(b)(3).
The *ad valorem* duty provided for in new HTSUS heading 9903.01.84 applies in addition to all other applicable duties, taxes, fees, exactions, and charges, unless subject to existing or future actions under section 232 of the Trade Expansion Act of 1962, in which case the *ad valorem* duty imposed in Executive Order 14329 shall not apply.
The *ad valorem* duty imposed in section 2 of Executive Order 14329 shall not apply to articles that are set forth in Annex II to Executive Order 14257 of April 2, 2025 (Regulating Imports With a Reciprocal Tariff To Rectify Trade Practices That Contribute to Large and Persistent Annual United States Goods Trade Deficits), as amended, but such products of India must be declared and entered under new HTSUS heading 9903.01.86. However, for products that are not included in Annex II to Executive Order 14257, as amended, the *ad valorem* duty imposed in section 2 of Executive Order 14329 shall apply in addition to the *ad valorem* duty imposed in Executive Order 14257, as amended, when applicable pursuant to the terms of Executive Order 14257.
Articles that are products of India subject to the *ad valorem* duty imposed in section 2 of Executive Order 14329, except those that are eligible for admission to a foreign trade zone under “domestic status” as defined in 19 CFR 146.43, and are admitted into a United States foreign trade zone on or after 12:01 a.m. eastern daylight time on August 27, 2025, must be admitted as “privileged foreign status” as defined in 19 CFR 146.41. Such articles will be subject, upon entry for consumption, to the duties imposed by Executive Order 14329 and the rates of duty related to the classification under the applicable HTSUS subheading in effect at the time of admission into the United States foreign trade zone.
Kristi Noem,
Secretary of Homeland Security.
