<h1>US Imposes 25% Tariff on Indian Imports Under New Executive Order, Plus Additional 25% on Russian Oil Purchases</h1> The United States has implemented a 25 percent tariff on imports from India as part of a broader executive order adjusting reciprocal tariff rates on nearly 70 countries. This initial tariff took effect on August 7, 2025. Additionally, the US announced a further 25 percent tariff targeting India's purchases of Russian oil, scheduled to begin 21 days later, effectively raising total duties on India to 50 percent. The executive order cites some trading partners' willingness to negotiate trade and security commitments with the US, while others, including India, have not sufficiently aligned with US economic and national security interests. The tariffs apply to goods entered or withdrawn for consumption after the specified effective date, with rates varying among countries from 10 to 40 percent.
