Indian products entering the United States that are directly or indirectly linked to Russian oil will face a 25 per cent additional tariff, according to a draft federal notification from Secretary of Homeland Security Kristi Noem, set for publication on Aug.27.

The tariff is part of President Trump’s Executive Order 14329, issued on Aug.6, 2025, aimed at addressing threats posed by the Russian government and its ongoing actions in Ukraine. It builds on previous sanctions under Executive Orders 14066 and 14024, which restricted imports of Russian crude oil, petroleum products, and related commodities.
