概要

This Executive Order, signed by President Donald J. Trump on February 6, 2026, officially removes the 25 percent additional tariff previously imposed on imports from India.

The summary of the order is as follows:

In August 2025 (via Executive Order 14329), the Trump Administration imposed a 25% tariff on Indian goods as a penalty for India's continued importation of Russian oil, which the U.S. had banned to address the national emergency regarding Russia's actions in Ukraine.

The President has now determined that India has taken "significant steps" to align with U.S. national security and foreign policy objectives, leading to the termination of these punitive duties.

The removal of the tariffs is based on three specific actions taken by the Indian government:

    • Cessation of Russian Oil Imports: India has committed to stop both direct and indirect imports of Russian crude oil and petroleum products.

    • Energy Transition: India has represented that it will shift its energy procurement to purchase products from the United States.

    • Defense Cooperation: India has committed to a new framework with the U.S. to expand bilateral defense cooperation over the next 10 years.

    • Effective Date: The 25% tariff is eliminated for all Indian goods entered for consumption on or after 12:01 a.m. EST on February 7, 2026.

    • Refunds: The order authorizes U.S. Customs and Border Protection to process refunds for duties collected under the previous policy.

The order mandates continuous oversight to ensure India remains in compliance:

    • Commerce Monitoring: The Secretary of Commerce is tasked with monitoring whether India resumes any purchase of Russian oil.

    • Reimposition: If India is found to have resumed imports of Russian petroleum, the Secretary of State and other senior officials are directed to recommend the immediate reimposition of the 25% tariff or other additional actions.

Conclusion:
The order represents a significant diplomatic and economic pivot, rewarding India for shifting its energy and defense alignment toward the United States while maintaining a "snap-back" mechanism to ensure India does not return to purchasing sanctioned Russian energy.
