Title 3— 

The President 

Proclamation 10420 of June 27, 2022 

Increasing Duties on Certain Articles From the Russian Federation 

By the President of the United States of America 

A Proclamation 

1. On April 8, 2022, I signed the Suspending Normal Trade Relations with 

Russia and Belarus Act (19 U.S.C. 2434 note) (Suspending NTR Act). Section 

3(a) of the Suspending NTR Act suspended nondiscriminatory tariff treatment 

for products of the Russian Federation and of the Republic of Belarus, 

and imposed the rates of duty set forth in column 2 of the Harmonized 

Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTSUS) on all products of the Russian 

Federation and of the Republic of Belarus, effective as of April 9, 2022. 

Section 3(b)(1) of the Suspending NTR Act provides that the President 

may proclaim increases in the column 2 rates of duty applicable to products 

of the Russian Federation and of the Republic of Belarus. 

2. On April 8, 2022, I signed the Ending Importation of Russian Oil Act 

(22 U.S.C. 8923 note). Section 2 of the Ending Importation of Russian Oil 

Act prohibits imports of all products of the Russian Federation classified 

under chapter 27 of the HTSUS, in a manner consistent with any implementation actions issued under Executive Order 14066 of March 8, 2022. 

3. In Executive Order 14066 of March 8, 2022, I prohibited, inter alia, 

importation into the United States of the following products of Russian 

Federation origin: crude oil; petroleum; petroleum fuels, oils, and products 

of their distillation; liquefied natural gas; coal; and coal products. 

4. In Executive Order 14068 of March 11, 2022, I prohibited, inter alia, 

the importation into the United States of the following products of Russian 

Federation origin: fish, seafood, and preparations thereof; alcoholic beverages; 

and non-industrial diamonds. 

5. In accordance with section 3(b)(1) of the Suspending NTR Act, I have 

determined that increasing the column 2 rates of duty to 35 percent ad 

valorem on certain other products of the Russian Federation, the importation 

of which has not already been prohibited, is warranted and consistent with 

the foreign policy interests of the United States. These products are listed 

in Annex A to this proclamation. The United States will monitor the implementation of the increased duties, and I may revisit this determination, 

as appropriate. 

6. Section 604 of the Trade Act of 1974, as amended (19 U.S.C. 2483), 

authorizes the President to embody in the HTSUS the substance of statutes 

affecting import treatment, and actions thereunder, including the removal, 

modification, continuance, or imposition of any rate of duty or other import 

restriction. 

NOW, THEREFORE, I, JOSEPH R. BIDEN JR., President of the United States 

of America, by the authority vested in me by the Constitution and the 

laws of the United States of America, including section 3 of the Suspending 

Normal Trade Relations with Russia and Belarus Act; section 301 of title 

3, United States Code; and section 604 of the Trade Act of 1974, as amended, 

do hereby proclaim as follows: 

(1) To increase the column 2 rates of duty on imports of certain articles 

of the Russian Federation as set forth in paragraph 5 of this proclamation,

HTSUS heading 9903.90.08 and new U.S. Note 30 to subchapter III of 

chapter 99 of the HTSUS are provided for in Annex A to this proclamation. 

(2) The modifications to the HTSUS made by clause 1 of this proclamation 

shall be effective with respect to goods entered for consumption, or withdrawn from warehouse for consumption, on or after 12:01 a.m. eastern 

daylight time on the day that is 30 days after the date of this proclamation 

and shall continue in effect, unless such actions are expressly reduced, 

modified, or terminated. 

(3) General Note 3(b) to the HTSUS is amended to add the Republic 

of Belarus and the Russian Federation to the list of countries subject to 

column 2 duties. This amendment is provided in Annex B to this proclamation. 

(4) Any provision of previous proclamations and Executive Orders that 

is inconsistent with the actions taken in this proclamation is superseded 

to the extent of such inconsistency. 

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this twenty-seventh 

day of June, in the year of our Lord two thousand twenty-two, and of 

the Independence of the United States of America the two hundred and 

forty-sixth.
