We want to keep our customers informed as U.S. trade policy continues to evolve.
As of 12:01 AM EST on February 7, 2026, the additional 25% Russian-Oil tariff on Indian imports has been officially eliminated by Presidential action. Shipments entered for consumption on or after that date are no longer subject to the added duty, reducing the total tariff from 50% to 25%.
There has also been discussion of a potential 18% reciprocal tariff rate under a broader interim framework between the U.S. and India. At this time, that adjustment has been announced in principle only and has not yet been formally implemented. Until official guidance is issued through Executive Order, Federal Register publication, and U.S. Customs direction, the current 25% reciprocal tariff (plus 8.4% base duty) remains in effect.
As we’ve seen in recent months, tariff conditions can shift quickly. FlexSack’s tariff pass-through policy remains in place, and pricing will continue to reflect the legally applicable rate at the time of customs clearance.
If you would like updated cost scenarios under the current structure or forward-looking modeling based on a potential 18% implementation, please connect directly with your sales representative.
We appreciate your continued partnership as we navigate these changing trade conditions together.
