                Proclamation 10420 of June 27, 2022

                
Increasing Duties on Certain Articles From the 
                Russian Federation

                By the President of the United States of America

                A Proclamation

                1. On April 8, 2022, I signed the Suspending Normal 
                Trade Relations with Russia and Belarus Act (19 U.S.C. 
                2434 note) (Suspending NTR Act). Section 3(a) of the 
                Suspending NTR Act suspended nondiscriminatory tariff 
                treatment for products of the Russian Federation and of 
                the Republic of Belarus, and imposed the rates of duty 
                set forth in column 2 of the Harmonized Tariff Schedule 
                of the United States (HTSUS) on all products of the 
                Russian Federation and of the Republic of Belarus, 
                effective as of April 9, 2022. Section 3(b)(1) of the 
                Suspending NTR Act provides that the President may 
                proclaim increases in the column 2 rates of duty 
                applicable to products of the Russian Federation and of 
                the Republic of Belarus.

                2. On April 8, 2022, I signed the Ending Importation of 
                Russian Oil Act (22 U.S.C. 8923 note). Section 2 of the 
                Ending Importation of Russian Oil Act prohibits imports 
                of all products of the Russian Federation classified 
                under chapter 27 of the HTSUS, in a manner consistent 
                with any implementation actions issued under Executive 
                Order 14066 of March 8, 2022.

                3. In Executive Order 14066 of March 8, 2022, I 
                prohibited, inter alia, importation into the United 
                States of the following products of Russian Federation 
                origin: crude oil; petroleum; petroleum fuels, oils, 
                and products of their distillation; liquefied natural 
                gas; coal; and coal products.

                4. In Executive Order 14068 of March 11, 2022, I 
                prohibited, inter alia, the importation into the United 
                States of the following products of Russian Federation 
                origin: fish, seafood, and preparations thereof; 
                alcoholic beverages; and non-industrial diamonds.

                5. In accordance with section 3(b)(1) of the Suspending 
                NTR Act, I have determined that increasing the column 2 
                rates of duty to 35 percent ad valorem on certain other 
                products of the Russian Federation, the importation of 
                which has not already been prohibited, is warranted and 
                consistent with the foreign policy interests of the 
                United States. These products are listed in Annex A to 
                this proclamation. The United States will monitor the 
                implementation of the increased duties, and I may 
                revisit this determination, as appropriate.

                6. Section 604 of the Trade Act of 1974, as amended (19 
                U.S.C. 2483), authorizes the President to embody in the 
                HTSUS the substance of statutes affecting import 
                treatment, and actions thereunder, including the 
                removal, modification, continuance, or imposition of 
                any rate of duty or other import restriction.

                NOW, THEREFORE, I, JOSEPH R. BIDEN JR., President of 
                the United States of America, by the authority vested 
                in me by the Constitution and the laws of the United 
                States of America, including section 3 of the 
                Suspending Normal Trade Relations with Russia and 
                Belarus Act; section 301 of title 3, United States 
                Code; and section 604 of the Trade Act of 1974, as 
                amended, do hereby proclaim as follows:

                    (1) To increase the column 2 rates of duty on 
                imports of certain articles of the Russian Federation 
                as set forth in paragraph 5 of this proclamation,

[[Page 38876]]

                HTSUS heading 9903.90.08 and new U.S. Note 30 to 
                subchapter III of chapter 99 of the HTSUS are provided 
                for in Annex A to this proclamation.
                    (2) The modifications to the HTSUS made by clause 1 
                of this proclamation 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 on the day that is 30 days after 
                the date of this proclamation and shall continue in 
                effect, unless such actions are expressly reduced, 
                modified, or terminated.
                    (3) General Note 3(b) to the HTSUS is amended to 
                add the Republic of Belarus and the Russian Federation 
                to the list of countries subject to column 2 duties. 
                This amendment is provided in Annex B to this 
                proclamation.
                    (4) Any provision of previous proclamations and 
                Executive Orders that is inconsistent with the actions 
                taken in this proclamation is superseded to the extent 
                of such inconsistency.

                IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this 
                twenty-seventh day of June, in the year of our Lord two 
                thousand twenty-two, and of the Independence of the 
                United States of America the two hundred and forty-
                sixth.
                
                
                    (Presidential Sig.)
