The U.S. administration has issued a notice confirming that a 50% tariff on Indian goods will take effect from Wednesday, August 27. The article specifies that the Department of Homeland Security issued a notice to enact the President’s executive order, which imposes an additional 25% ad valorem duty on Indian imports, specifically those from countries that are directly or indirectly importing Russian oil.
The duties will be effective on products entered for consumption on or after 12:01 a.m. Eastern Daylight Time on August 27, 2025. The notice provides an exemption for products that were already loaded on a ship and in transit to the U.S. before this time. The exemption is valid until September 17, 2025, for products that are cleared for use in the U.S. before that date. The notice also clarifies that humanitarian relief goods, informational materials, and news wire feeds are exempt from the 50% tariff, and existing anti-dumping and countervailing duties will remain in effect.
