25% Tariff on Imports from India

Continuation of Russian Oil Import Prohibitions
The order continues measures under Executive Order 14066 that prohibit the importation into the United States of certain products of Russian Federation origin, including crude oil and petroleum fuels, oils, and products of their distillation. The President found the national emergency described in Executive Order 14066 continues and reaffirmed maintaining those measures.
Authority to Tariff Other Countries Importing Russian Oil
The order directs the Secretary of Commerce to determine whether other countries are directly or indirectly importing Russian Federation oil and authorizes recommendations to impose an additional ad valorem duty of 25 percent on imports of articles of any country found to be doing so. The Secretary of State, in consultation with other officials, will recommend whether and to what extent the President should take such action.

Articles subject to the 25% duty that are admitted into a foreign-trade zone on or after 12:01 a.m. eastern daylight time 21 days after the date of the order must be admitted as "privileged foreign status" unless eligible for "domestic status". The order also specifies that the new ad valorem duty is in addition to other duties and will not apply where section 232 actions govern.
