Executive Order 14329

Addressing Threats to the United States by the Government of the Russian Federation

This executive order imposes an additional 25 percent ad valorem tariff on all imports from India, effective August 27, 2025, on the determination that India is directly or indirectly importing Russian oil. The order also establishes a monitoring and recommendation process for potentially extending similar tariffs to other countries found to be importing Russian oil, and delegates implementation authority across multiple agencies.

Who is ordered

Timeline

Immediate

  • Publication and public notice of tariff imposition
  • 21-day countdown begins for tariff effective date

Near term (90d)

  • Tariff takes effect August 27, 2025 (12:01 a.m. EDT)

Risks & tensions

  • Retaliation risk from India against US exports explicitly anticipated in Sec. 4(b)
  • Potential WTO challenge to IEEPA-based tariff on non-Russian country
  • Circular enforcement problem: tracing 'indirect' Russian oil imports through intermediaries (Sec. 7(b))
  • Stacking with EO 14257 reciprocal tariffs creates compounded trade barriers
  • Sec. 3(a) carve-out for section 232 actions creates complexity but avoids triple-stacking for steel/aluminum/autos
  • Vague 'indirectly importing' standard leaves significant discretion to Secretary of Commerce
