Modifying Duties To Address Threats to the United States by the Government of the Russian Federation

The order removes the 25% additional ad valorem tariff on all imports from India that had been imposed by Executive Order 14329 in August 2025. It declares the relevant Harmonized Tariff Schedule headings terminated as of 12:01 a.m. on February 7, 2026, and directs U.S. Customs and Border Protection to process refunds of any duties collected under those headings after that date. The Secretary of State is authorized to take all implementing actions, and the Secretary of Homeland Security may make any necessary tariff schedule modifications through Federal Register notice.

The order does not terminate the underlying national emergency related to Russia's actions against Ukraine, which remains in effect. Instead, it modifies the U.S. response to that emergency specifically as it applies to India, based on India's new commitments. An ongoing monitoring mechanism is established: if India is found to have resumed direct or indirect Russian oil imports, a formal recommendation process is triggered to advise the President on whether to reimpose the 25% tariff.

U.S. importers of all Indian-origin goods — including pharmaceuticals, textiles, electronics, and machinery — who are immediately relieved of the 25% additional duty. Importers who paid that duty on goods entered on or after February 7, 2026, are eligible for refunds. Indian exporters and U.S. businesses sourcing from India are also directly affected.

The 25% tariff had applied to the full range of Indian imports, raising costs for U.S. businesses and consumers across many product categories. Its removal effective February 7 lowers those costs immediately and makes Indian goods price-competitive again; refunds are also available for duties collected since that date.

The tariff elimination is self-executing as of February 7, 2026 — no further rulemaking is required to lift the duty. The Secretary of Homeland Security may publish a Federal Register notice to update the tariff schedule, but that is administrative confirmation, not a precondition. The reimposition pathway is not automatic: the Secretary of Commerce must first find that India has resumed Russian oil imports, after which the Secretary of State consults a broad interagency group and makes a recommendation to the President, who retains final authority to act.
