What happened?
- On September 18, 2026, the Graham Act became law, introducing tariffs reaching 100 per cent on goods imported by the five biggest buyers of Russian oil and gas—China and India among them—effective 30 days after enactment (The Economic Times).
- The order imposes additional 100 per cent tariffs on products from the five biggest importers of Russian crude oil and of natural gas that make fresh purchases from October 18, with those duties then suspended via the presidential waiver (ANI).
- Russian crude accounted for roughly 44 per cent of India's total oil imports in August, and India plans to purchase Russian LNG under long-term contracts (The Economic Times).
The waiver carries no fixed expiry date, can be withdrawn, and leaves Russia-related sanctions under other executive orders unchanged.
