Summary
This order removes the extra 25 percent tariff that applied to many products from India, so Indian goods imported into the United States on or after February 7, 2026 will no longer face that surcharge. It ends specific tariff headings in the U.S. Harmonized Tariff Schedule and directs refunds under existing customs procedures.
Importers of Indian products, U.S. Customs officials, and trade and security officials must carry out the change. The President said India committed to stop importing Russian oil and to expand defense and energy cooperation, so the tariff removal reflects that alignment.
