Modifying Duties to Address Threats to the United States by the Government of the Russian Federation

The order directs federal agencies to eliminate the additional 25 percent ad valorem duty on imports from India. This decision comes after India's commitment to stop importing Russian Federation oil and increase its purchase of United States energy products, as well as its pledge to expand defense cooperation with the United States over the next decade. The removal of the tariff is deemed necessary to address the national emergency declared in response to the actions of the Russian Federation.
