Additional 25% Tariff on Indian Imports Effective August 27, 2025

On August 6, 2025, President Trump issued an Executive Order imposing an additional 25% ad valorem tariff on Indian product imports into the United States, effective 12:01 a.m. ET on August 27, 2025. This action is in response to India’s continued importation of Russian oil amid ongoing conflict in Ukraine.

This tariff is in addition to the 25% reciprocal tariff scheduled to take effect on August 7, 2025. Exceptions apply to goods that:

• Were loaded and in transit prior to 12:01 a.m. ET on August 27, and
• Are entered for consumption or withdrawn from warehouse before 12:01 a.m. ET on September 17, 2025.

Per the EO, the additional duty will not apply to:

• Articles subject to Section 232 actions under the Trade Expansion Act of 1962
• Articles excepted by 50 U.S.C. 1702(b)
• Articles listed in Annex II of Executive Order 14257 (April 2, 2025), as amended

Goods admitted into a Foreign Trade Zone on or after August 27 must be entered under privileged foreign status, unless eligible for domestic status under 19 CFR 146.43.

A. N. Deringer, Inc. will continue to monitor developments and provide updates as additional guidance becomes available from U.S. Customs and Border Protection.
