Under the constitutional and statutory authority bestowed upon me as President of the United States, including provisions from 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, I hereby declare and order the following:
Section 1. Background
Executive Order 14066, enacted on March 8, 2022, aimed to address the ongoing national emergency declared in Executive Order 14024, dated April 15, 2021. This emergency was framed as a response to the Russian Federation’s actions undermining Ukraine’s sovereignty and territorial integrity. In light of this, Executive Order 14066 prohibited the importation into the United States of specific Russian-origin products, notably crude oil and petroleum-related products.
Recent insights from senior officials reaffirm that the national emergency outlined in Executive Order 14066 persists, as the actions of the Russian government continue to pose an extraordinary threat to U.S. national security and foreign policy.
In response to this ongoing crisis, I find it necessary to impose an additional ad valorem tariff on imports from India, which is directly or indirectly importing oil from the Russian Federation. I believe that these tariffs, combined with existing measures, will more effectively address the continuing national emergency.
Sec 2. Imposition of Tariffs
(a) It has been determined that the Government of India is currently engaged in the direct or indirect importation of oil from the Russian Federation.
(b) Therefore, in accordance with applicable laws, articles imported from India into the U.S. customs territory shall incur an additional ad valorem duty of 25 percent. This rate will take effect for goods entered for consumption or withdrawn from warehouse for consumption beginning at 12:01 a.m. eastern daylight time, 21 days from the date of this order, with exceptions for goods that (1) were loaded onto a vessel at the port of origin and are in transit before the duty takes effect, and (2) are entered for consumption before 12:01 a.m. eastern daylight time on September 17, 2025.
Sec 3. Scope of Duties and Stacking
(a) The ad valorem duty described in section 2 will be in addition to any other applicable duties, taxes, or fees unless exempted by existing or future actions under section 232 of the Trade Expansion Act of 1962.
(b) The ad valorem duty will not apply to articles exempted by 50 U.S.C. 1702(b).
(c) The duty will also not apply to articles specified in Annex II of Executive Order 14257, which regulates imports to rectify trade practices contributing to persistent trade deficits.
(d) Furthermore, the duty from Executive Order 14257 will apply in addition to the duty imposed in this order where relevant.
(e) Except for articles eligible under “domestic status,” any goods subject to the duty and entering a foreign trade zone after the effective date must be admitted as “privileged foreign status.”
Sec 4. Modification Authority
(a) I may modify this order based on new information, recommendations from officials, or changing circumstances.
(b) In the event of retaliatory actions by a foreign country, I may alter this order to ensure its effectiveness.
(c) Should the Russian government or any affected foreign country take significant steps to address the national emergency and align with U.S. interests, modifications to this order may be made.
Sec 5. Monitoring and Recommendations
(a) The Secretary of Commerce, in collaboration with the Secretary of State, the Secretary of the Treasury, and other relevant officials, will investigate whether other countries are importing oil from the Russian Federation. Should this be the case, the Secretary of State will recommend whether further actions, including a 25 percent ad valorem duty, should be taken against those countries.
(b) The Secretary of State will continuously monitor the situation and engage with necessary officials regarding the emergency described herein.
(c) If the measures outlined in this order fail to resolve the emergency or provoke foreign retaliation, further actions will be recommended.
Sec 6. Delegation
(a) The Secretary of State, in conjunction with other relevant officials, is authorized to implement this order, including establishing necessary regulations. Delegation of these functions within the Department of State is permitted.
(b) The Secretary of Homeland Security will assess if modifications to the Harmonized Tariff Schedule are required to effectuate this order.
(c) U.S. Customs and Border Protection is empowered to take appropriate measures to administer the duties imposed by this order.
Sec 7. Definitions
(a) “Russian Federation oil” refers to crude oil or petroleum products sourced from the Russian Federation, irrespective of the producer’s nationality.
(b) “Indirectly importing” encompasses acquiring Russian oil through intermediaries or third countries, as identified by the Secretary of Commerce in consultation with other relevant officials.
Sec 8. Severability
If any part of this order is deemed invalid, the remaining provisions and their applications will remain unaffected.
Sec 9. General Provisions
(a) This order shall not impede the authority of any executive department or agency.
(b) Implementation will align with applicable laws and available appropriations.
(c) This order does not create enforceable rights or benefits for any party against the U.S. government or its entities.
(d) The Department of State will bear the costs related to the publication of this order.
