U.S. GOVERNMENT PUBLISHING OFFICE
69-011 WASHINGTON : 2025
The White House,
Washington, November 3, 2025.
Hon. Mike Johnson,
Speaker of the House of Representatives,
Washington, DC.
Dear Mr. Speaker: Consistent with applicable law, including
section 401(b) of the National Emergencies Act (50 U.S.C.
1641(b)), I am providing notice that I have issued an Executive
Order on Addressing Threats to the United States by the
Government of the Russian Federation (Executive Order), which
deals with the national emergency described in Executive Order
14066 of March 8, 2022 (Prohibiting Certain Imports and New
Investments With Respect to Continued Russian Federation
Efforts to Undermine the Sovereignty and Territorial Integrity
of Ukraine), involving the Government of the Russian
Federation's actions taken against Ukraine.
In the Executive Order, I determined that it is necessary
and appropriate to deal with the national emergency described
in Executive Order 14066 by imposing an additional ad valorem
duty on imports of certain goods from countries that are
currently importing Russian Federation oil.
I am enclosing a copy of the Executive Order that I have
issued. The Executive Order further explains the circumstances
underlying the national emergency and the actions taken in the
Executive Order to deal with the emergency.
Sincerely,
Donald J. Trump.
Executive Order
----------
Addressing Threats to the United States by the Government of the
Russian Federation
By the authority vested in me as President by the
Constitution and the laws of the United States of America,
including the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (50
U.S.C. 1701 et seq.) (IEEPA), the National Emergencies Act (50
U.S.C. 1601 et seq.), section 604 of the Trade Act of 1974, as
amended (19 U.S.C. 2483), and section 301 of title 3, United
States Code, I hereby determine and order:
Section 1. Background. Executive Order 14066 of March 8,
2022 (Prohibiting Certain Imports and New Investments With
Respect to Continued Russian Federation Efforts To Undermine
the Sovereignty and Territorial Integrity of Ukraine), expanded
the scope of the national emergency declared in Executive Order
14024 of April 15, 2021 (Blocking Property With Respect To
Specified Harmful Foreign Activities of the Government of the
Russian Federation), to include the actions taken against
Ukraine by the Government of the Russian Federation. To address
that unusual and extraordinary threat to the national security
and foreign policy of the United States, Executive Order 14066
prohibited, among other things, the importation into the United
States of certain products of Russian Federation origin,
including crude oil; petroleum; and petroleum fuels, oils, and
products of their distillation.
I have received additional information from various senior
officials on, among other things, the actions of the Government
of the Russian Federation with respect to the situation in
Ukraine. After considering this additional information, among
other things, I find that the national emergency described in
Executive Order 14066 continues and that the actions and
policies of the Government of the Russian Federation continue
to pose an unusual and extraordinary threat to the national
security and foreign policy of the United States.
To deal with the national emergency described in Executive
Order 14066, I determine that it is necessary and appropriate
to impose an additional ad valorem duty on imports of articles
of India, which is directly or indirectly importing Russian
Federation oil. In my judgment, imposing tariffs, as described
below, in addition to maintaining the other measures taken to
address the national emergency described in Executive Order
14066, will more effectively deal with the national emergency
described in Executive Order 14066.
Sec. 2. Imposition of Tariffs. (a) I find that the
Government of India is currently directly or indirectly
importing Russian Federation oil.
(b) Accordingly, and as consistent with applicable law,
articles of India imported into the customs territory of the
United States shall be subject to an additional ad valorem rate
of duty of 25 percent. Subject to section 3 of this order, this
rate of duty shall be effective with respect to goods entered
for consumption, or withdrawn from warehouse for consumption,
on or after 12:01 a.m. eastern daylight time 21 days after the
date of this order, except for goods that (1) were loaded onto
a vessel at the port of loading and in transit on the final
mode of transit prior to entry into the United States before
12:01 a.m. eastern daylight time 21 days after the date of this
order; and (2) are entered for consumption, or withdrawn from
warehouse for consumption, before 12:01 a.m. eastern daylight
time on September 17, 2025.
Sec. 3. Scope of Duties and Stacking. (a) The ad valorem
duty imposed in section 2 of this order shall be in addition to
any other duties, fees, taxes, exactions, and charges
applicable to such imports, unless subject to existing or
future actions under section 232 of the Trade Expansion Act of
1962, in which case the ad valorem duty imposed in this order
shall not apply.
(b) The ad valorem duty imposed in section 2 of this order
shall not apply to articles that are excepted by 50 U.S.C.
1702(b).
(c) The ad valorem duty imposed in section 2 of this order
shall not apply to articles that are set forth in Annex II to
Executive Order 14257 of April 2, 2025 (Regulating Imports With
a Reciprocal Tariff To Rectify Trade Practices That Contribute
to Large and Persistent Annual United States Goods Trade
Deficits), as amended.
(d) The ad valorem duty imposed in Executive Order 14257 of
April 2, 2025, as amended, shall apply in addition to the ad
valorem duty imposed in section 2 of this order, when
applicable pursuant to the terms of Executive Order 14257.
(e) Except for those articles that are eligible for
admission under ``domestic status'' as defined in 19 CFR
146.43, articles that are subject to the duty imposed in
section 2 of this order and are admitted into a foreign trade
zone on or after 12:01 a.m. eastern daylight time 21 days after
the date of this order must be admitted as ``privileged foreign
status'' as defined in 19 CFR 146.41.
Sec. 4. Modification Authority. (a) To ensure that the
emergency described in section 1 of this order is dealt with, I
may modify this order, including in light of additional
information, recommendations from senior officials, or changed
circumstances.
(b) Should a foreign country retaliate against the United
States in response to this action, I may modify this order to
ensure the efficacy of the actions herein ordered.
(c) Should the Government of the Russian Federation or a
foreign country impacted by this order take significant steps
to address the national emergency described in section 1 of
this order and align sufficiently with the United States on
national security, foreign policy, and economic matters, I may
further modify this order.
Sec. 5. Monitoring and Recommendations. (a) The Secretary
of Commerce, in coordination with the Secretary of State, the
Secretary of the Treasury, and any other senior official the
Secretary of Commerce deems appropriate, shall determine
whether any other country is directly or indirectly importing
Russian Federation oil. If the Secretary of Commerce finds that
a country is directly or indirectly importing Russian
Federation oil, the Secretary of State, in consultation with
the Secretary of the Treasury, the Secretary of Commerce, the
Secretary of Homeland Security, the United States Trade
Representative, the Assistant to the President for National
Security Affairs, the Assistant to the President for Economic
Policy, and the Assistant to the President and Senior Counselor
for Trade and Manufacturing, shall recommend whether and to
what extent I should take action as to that country, including
whether I should impose an additional ad valorem rate of duty
of 25 percent on imports of articles of that country.
(b) The Secretary of State shall monitor and regularly
consult with any senior official the Secretary of State deems
appropriate on the emergency described in section 1 of this
order.
(c) The Secretary of State, in consultation with the
Secretary of the Treasury, the Secretary of Commerce, the
Secretary of Homeland Security, the United States Trade
Representative, the Assistant to the President for National
Security Affairs, the Assistant to the President for Economic
Policy, and the Assistant to the President and Senior Counselor
for Trade and Manufacturing, shall recommend to me additional
action, if necessary, if the actions in this order are not
effective in resolving the emergency described in section 1 of
this order or should the Government of the Russian Federation
or another foreign country retaliate against the United States
in response to the actions taken in this order or any
subsequent order issued to address the emergency described in
section 1 of this order.
Sec. 6. Delegation. (a) The Secretary of State, in
consultation with the Secretary of the Treasury, the Secretary
of Commerce, the Secretary of Homeland Security, the United
States Trade Representative, the Assistant to the President for
National Security Affairs, the Assistant to the President for
Economic Policy, and the Assistant to the President and Senior
Counselor for Trade and Manufacturing, is hereby authorized to
take such actions, including adopting rules and regulations,
and to employ all powers granted to the President by IEEPA as
may be necessary to implement this order. The Secretary of
State may, consistent with applicable law, redelegate any of
these functions within the Department of State. Each executive
department and agency shall take all appropriate measures
within its authority to carry out this order.
(b) The Secretary of Homeland Security, in consultation
with the United States International Trade Commission, shall
determine whether modifications to the Harmonized Tariff
Schedule of the United States are necessary to effectuate this
order and may make such modifications through notice in the
Federal Register.
(c) U.S. Customs and Border Protection may take any
necessary or appropriate measure to administer a duty imposed
by this order or any action taken pursuant to this order.

petroleum products extracted, refined, or exported from the
Russian Federation, regardless of the nationality of the entity
involved in the production or sale of such crude oil or

Russian Federation oil through intermediaries or third
countries where the origin of the oil can reasonably be traced
