U.S. to remove additional 25% duty on Indian goods from February 7

The U.S. will lift a 25% duty on Indian goods starting February 7, 2026, after India's commitment to halt Russian oil imports.

The U.S. has said India has committed to stop directly or indirectly importing Russian oil, following which the additional 25% tariffs imposed by America on Indian goods will be removed from Saturday (February 7, 2026).

According to an executive order issued by the White House, India has also committed to a framework with the U.S. to expand defence cooperation over the next 10 years.

"Effective with respect to goods entered for consumption, or withdrawn from the warehouse for consumption, on or after 12.01 a.m. EST on February 7, 2026, products of India imported into the United States shall no longer be subject to the additional ad valorem rate of duty of 25% imposed pursuant to Executive Order 14329," it said. In August 2025, the U.S. imposed 25% reciprocal tariffs and an additional 25% levy on goods from India over its purchase of Russian crude oil.
