CBP Updates Guidance Modifying Additional Duties on Imports from India

The below was taken in part from the NCBFAA:

On Monday, February 9th, US Customs and Border Protection (CBP) provided the trade community with guidance for implementing the February 6th Presidential Executive Order (EO), Modifying Duties to Address Threats to the United States by the Government of the Russian. This CSMS message updates CSMS message #66027027 with the following information only.

Guidance

Products of India entered for consumption or withdrawn from warehouse for consumption on or after 12:01 AM EST on February 7th, 2026, are no longer subject to the additional ad valorem duty rate of 25% imposed by the August 6th, 2025, EO 14329, Addressing Threats to the United States by the Government of the Russian Federation. As a result, HTSUS headings 9903.01.84–9903.01.89 are no longer in use as of February 7th, 2026.

The reciprocal tariffs imposed by EO 14257, Regulating Imports with a Reciprocal Tariff to Rectify Trade Practices That Contribute to Large and Persistent Annual United States Goods Trade Deficits,” as amended, remain in effect for products of India that do not qualify for an exemption.

Correcting Previously Filed Entries

CBP stated that for any entries filed declaring HTSUS headings 9903.01.84–9903.01.89 that were entered for consumption or withdrawn from warehouse for consumption on or after 12:01 AM EST on February 7th, 2026, filers should take action as necessary to correct those entries as soon as possible.

For unliquidated entries for which estimated duties have already been deposited, importers may file a Post Summary Correction (PSC) to request a refund. Upon PSC approval, the refund will be issued at liquidation. For liquidated entries, importers may request a refund by filing a protest within 180 days after liquidation in accordance with 19 U.S.C. § 1514.
