Background

Under an April 2022 law that revoked permanent normal trade relations status for (and thus increased tariffs on) imports from Russia, the U.S. is further increasing to 35 percent its import tariffs on more than 570 groups of goods from Russia. This increase will be effective for goods entered or withdrawn from warehouse for consumption on or after 12:01 a.m. EDT on July 27.

A list of the affected goods by HTSUS number is available here and includes steel and aluminum; minerals, ores, and metals; chemicals; arms and ammunition; wood and paper products; aircraft and parts; and automotive parts. U.S. Customs and Border Protection has instructed filers to enter HTSUS 9903.90.08 in addition to the applicable Chapter 1-97 number on the entry summary line.

According to CBP, the increased tariffs do not apply to goods for which entry is claimed under a provision of Chapter 98, except for goods entered under subheadings 9802.00.40, 9802.00.50, and 9802.00.60 and heading 9802.00.80. For subheadings 9802.00.40, 9802.00.50, and 9802.00.60, the increased tariffs apply to the value of repairs, alterations, or processing performed abroad, as described in the applicable subheading. For heading 9802.00.80, the tariffs apply to the value of the article less the cost or value of such products of the U.S.

CBP notes that products of Russia that are subject to the increased tariffs and classified in one of the subheadings enumerated in U.S. note 30(b) to subchapter III of chapter 99 will also continue to be subject to antidumping, countervailing, or other duties, fees, exactions, and charges that apply to such products.
