Executive Order Modifies Duties on Imports from India

This Executive Order rescinds the additional 25 percent ad valorem duty imposed on imports of articles of India, effective February 7, 2026. This action is a modification of duties previously established under Executive Order 14329, which was itself part of the broader national emergency declared in Executive Order 14066 concerning Russian Federation threats. The removal of the duty is based on the President's determination that India has taken significant steps to address the national emergency, including committing to cease direct or indirect importation of Russian Federation oil and expanding defense cooperation with the United States.

Regulated entities involved in importing goods from India should note the immediate cessation of the additional 25% duty. This change impacts the cost of goods and requires an update to tariff classifications and payment processes. Compliance officers should ensure that their systems and procedures reflect this tariff modification to avoid overpayment of duties. No specific compliance deadline is mentioned beyond the effective date of the duty removal.
