The update
An Executive Order eliminated the additional 25% ad valorem duty previously imposed on imports of articles of India; specified Chapter 99 headings were terminated effective 12:01 a.m. EST on Feb 7, 2026.
Impact
Immediate landed-cost relief for Indian-origin imports previously paying the extra layer; it also raises refund and entry-correction considerations depending on entry timing.
What to watch
The duty could be reimposed if conditions change, so treat the relief as current rather than permanent.
How to prepare
- 1Check entry date and time against the cutover
The change took effect at 12:01 a.m. EST on February 7, so entries either side are treated differently.
- 2Correct or protest entries filed near the cutover
Refunds follow standard CBP procedures and depend on liquidation status.
- 3Requote Indian-origin programs
A layer coming off is a chance to rebase pricing rather than absorb it silently.
