(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 determine and order:<\/p>\n<p>Section 1. \u00a0Background. \u00a0Executive Order 14066 of March 8, 2022 (Prohibiting Certain Imports and New Investments With Respect to Continued Russian Federation Efforts To Undermine the Sovereignty and Territorial Integrity of Ukraine), expanded the scope of the national emergency declared in Executive Order\u00a014024 of April 15, 2021 (Blocking Property With Respect To Specified Harmful Foreign Activities of the Government of the Russian Federation), to include the actions taken against Ukraine by the Government of the Russian Federation. \u00a0To address that unusual and extraordinary threat to the national security and foreign policy of the United States, Executive Order 14066 prohibited, among other things, the importation into the United States of certain products of Russian Federation origin, including crude oil; petroleum; and petroleum fuels, oils, and products of their distillation.<\/p>\n<p>I have received additional information from various senior officials on, among other things, the actions of the Government of the Russian Federation with respect to the situation in Ukraine.\u00a0 After considering this additional information, among other things, I find that the national emergency described in Executive Order 14066 continues and that the actions and policies of the Government of the Russian Federation continue to pose an unusual and extraordinary threat to the national security and foreign policy of the United States.<\/p>\n<p>To deal with the national emergency described in Executive Order 14066, I determine that it is necessary and appropriate to impose an additional ad valorem duty on imports of articles of India, which is directly or indirectly importing Russian Federation oil.\u00a0 In my judgment, imposing tariffs, as described below, in addition to maintaining the other measures taken to address the national emergency described in Executive Order 14066, will more effectively deal with the national emergency described in Executive Order 14066.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Sec. 2. \u00a0Imposition of Tariffs.\u00a0 (a)\u00a0 I find that the Government of India is currently directly or indirectly importing Russian Federation oil.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>(b)\u00a0 Accordingly, and as consistent with applicable law, articles of India imported into the customs territory of the United States shall be subject to an additional\u00a0ad valorem\u00a0rate of duty of 25 percent.\u00a0 Subject to section 3 of this order, this rate of duty shall be effective with respect to goods entered for consumption, or withdrawn from warehouse for consumption, on or after 12:01 a.m. eastern daylight time 21 days after the date of this order, except for goods that (1) were loaded onto a vessel at the port of loading and in transit on the final mode of transit prior to entry into the United States before 12:01 a.m. eastern daylight time 21 days after the date of this order; and (2) are entered for consumption, or withdrawn from warehouse for consumption, before 12:01 a.m. eastern daylight time on September 17, 2025.<\/p>\n<p>Sec. 3.\u00a0 Scope of Duties and Stacking. \u00a0(a) \u00a0The\u00a0ad valorem\u00a0duty imposed in section 2 of this order shall be in addition to any other duties, fees, taxes, exactions, and charges applicable to such imports, unless subject to existing or future actions under section 232 of the Trade Expansion Act of 1962, in which case the\u00a0ad valorem\u00a0duty imposed in this order shall not apply.<\/p>\n<p>(b)\u00a0 The\u00a0ad valorem\u00a0duty imposed in section 2 of this order shall not apply to articles that are excepted by 50 U.S.C. 1702(b).<\/p>\n<p>(c) \u00a0The\u00a0ad valorem\u00a0duty imposed in section 2 of this order shall not apply to articles that are set forth in Annex II to Executive Order 14257 of April 2, 2025 (Regulating Imports With a Reciprocal Tariff To Rectify Trade Practices That Contribute to Large and Persistent Annual United States Goods Trade Deficits), as amended.<\/p>\n<p>(d)\u00a0 The\u00a0ad valorem\u00a0duty imposed in Executive Order 14257 of April 2, 2025, as amended, shall apply in addition to the\u00a0ad valorem\u00a0duty imposed in section 2 of this order, when applicable pursuant to the terms of Executive Order 14257.<\/p>\n<p>(e) \u00a0Except for those articles that are eligible for admission under \u201cdomestic status\u201d as defined in 19 CFR 146.43, articles that are subject to the duty imposed in section 2 of this order and are\u00a0admitted into a foreign trade zone on or after 12:01 a.m. eastern daylight time 21 days after the date of this order must\u00a0be admitted as \u201cprivileged foreign status\u201d as defined in\u00a019\u00a0CFR 146.41.<\/p>\n<p>Sec. 4.\u00a0 Modification Authority.\u00a0 (a)\u00a0 To ensure that the emergency described in section 1 of this order is dealt with, I\u00a0may modify this order, including in light of additional information, recommendations from senior officials, or changed circumstances.<\/p>\n<p>(b)\u00a0 Should a foreign country retaliate against the United States in response to this action, I may modify this order to ensure the efficacy of the actions herein ordered.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>(c)\u00a0 Should the Government of the Russian Federation or a foreign country impacted by this order take significant steps to address the national emergency described in section 1 of this order and align sufficiently with the United States on national security, foreign policy, and economic matters, I may further modify this order.<\/p>\n<p>Sec. 5.\u00a0 Monitoring and Recommendations.\u00a0 (a)\u00a0 The Secretary of Commerce, in coordination with the Secretary of State, the Secretary of the Treasury, and any other senior official the Secretary of Commerce deems appropriate, shall determine whether any other country is directly or indirectly importing Russian Federation oil.\u00a0 If the Secretary of Commerce finds that a country is directly or indirectly importing Russian Federation oil, the Secretary of State, in consultation with the Secretary of the Treasury, the Secretary of Commerce, the Secretary of Homeland Security, the United States Trade Representative, the Assistant to the President for National Security Affairs, the Assistant to the President for Economic Policy, and the

additional\u00a0ad valorem\u00a0rate of duty of 25 percent on imports of articles of that country.<\/p>\n<p>(b)\u00a0 The Secretary of State shall monitor and regularly consult with any senior official the Secretary of State deems appropriate on the emergency described in section 1 of this order.<\/p>\n<p>(c)\u00a0 The Secretary of State, in consultation with the Secretary of the Treasury, the Secretary of Commerce, the Secretary of Homeland Security, the United States Trade Representative, the Assistant to the President for National Security Affairs, the Assistant to the President for Economic Policy, and the Assistant to the President and Senior Counselor for Trade and Manufacturing, shall recommend to me additional action, if necessary, if the actions in this order are not effective in resolving the emergency described in section 1 of this order or should the Government of the Russian Federation or another foreign country retaliate against the United States in response to the actions taken in this order or any subsequent order issued to address the emergency described in section 1 of this order.<\/p>\n<p>Sec. 6. \u00a0Delegation.\u00a0 (a)\u00a0 The Secretary of State, in consultation with the Secretary of the Treasury, the Secretary of Commerce, the Secretary of Homeland Security, the United States Trade Representative, the Assistant to the President for National Security Affairs, the Assistant to the President for Economic Policy, and the Assistant to the President and Senior Counselor for Trade and Manufacturing, is hereby authorized to take such actions, including adopting rules and regulations, and to employ all powers granted to the President by IEEPA as may be necessary to implement this order. \u00a0The Secretary of State may, consistent with applicable law, redelegate any of these functions within the Department of State. \u00a0<a>Each <\/a>executive department and agency shall take all appropriate measures within its authority to carry out this order.<\/p>\n<p>(b)\u00a0 The Secretary of Homeland Security, in consultation with the United States International Trade Commission, shall determine whether modifications to the Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States are necessary to effectuate this order and may make such modifications through notice in the Federal Register.<\/p>\n<p>(c)\u00a0 U.S. Customs and
