$EAF An immediate 50% tariff on goods from India, including those under Harmonized System (HS) code 8545, was imposed by the U.S., effective August 27, 2025. This aggregate tariff resulted from an additional 25% levy on top of an existing 25% reciprocal duty. The action was in response to India's continued purchase of Russian oil.
Details of the new 50% tariff
Target: The tariff applies to most imports from India, including the goods described under HS code 8545 (carbon electrodes, brushes, and other electrical articles of graphite or carbon).
Effective date: The additional 25% tariff went into effect at 12:01 a.m. EDT on August 27, 2025.
