White House announces additional 25% tariff on Indian imports
Increased tariff effective August 27, 2025
The White House today released an executive order signed by President Trump subjecting goods imported from India to an additional 25% tariff (for a total tariff rate of 50%), effective August 27, 2025, although goods imported before September 17, 2025, will be exempt.
According to the related White House fact sheet (August 6, 2025), this action is in response to India’s continued purchase of Russian oil and part of establishing a process for the potential imposition of similar tariffs on other countries that directly or indirectly import oil from Russia.
