CBP dropped 25% Russia-related duty on India goods in February 2026, kept reciprocal tariffs
CBP title: UPDATED GUIDANCE – Modifying Additional Duties on Imports from India
This message is from February 9, 2026. Later CSMS messages may have changed it. See the latest trade news
What did CBP announce?
CBP announced that products of India entered on or after February 7, 2026 were no longer subject to the 25 percent additional duty imposed by EO 14329 on Russia-related threats, retiring HTSUS headings 9903.01.84-9903.01.89. Reciprocal tariffs under EO 14257 remained in effect for India goods that did not qualify for an exemption. CBP told filers to correct entries filed under the retired headings, using a post summary correction for unliquidated entries or a protest within 180 days of liquidation for liquidated entries.
What is Allied's position?
This message predates the Supreme Court's February 20, 2026 ruling that IEEPA does not authorize tariffs and the EO 14389 order that ended IEEPA duties, including reciprocal tariffs, the same day. The PSC and protest process described here for correcting these entries has since been replaced by the CAPE Declaration refund process in the ACE Portal for IEEPA duties. Clients with India entries from this period should ask us to review whether their duties were refunded through CAPE rather than through the process this message describes.

GUIDANCE
Products of India entered for consumption or withdrawn from warehouse for consumption on or after 12:01 a.m. eastern time on February 7, 2026, are no longer subject to the additional ad valorem duty rate of 25 percent imposed by EO 14329, “Addressing Threats to the United States by the Government of the Russian Federation (https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2025/08/11/2025-15267/addressing-threats-to-the-united-states-by-the-government-of-the-russian-federation)” signed on August 6, 2025. As a result, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTSUS) headings 9903.01.84-9903.01.89 are no longer in use as of February 7, 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 (https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2025/04/07/2025-06063/regulating-imports-with-a-reciprocal-tariff-to-rectify-trade-practices-that-contribute-to-large-and),” as amended, remain in effect for products of India that do not qualify for an exemption.
Correcting Previously Filed Entries
For any entries filed declaring HTSUS headings 9903.01.84 - 9903.01.89 that are entered for consumption or withdrawn from warehouse for consumption on or after 12:01 a.m. eastern time on February 7, 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.
