Proclamation 10523 of February 24, 2023
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, the 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 Proclamation 10420 of June 27, 2022, I stated
that I had determined that increasing the column 2
rates of duty to 35 percent ad valorem on certain
products of the Russian Federation was warranted and
consistent with the foreign policy interests of the
United States. I also stated that the United States
will monitor the implementation of the increased
duties, and that I may revisit this determination, as
appropriate.
6. 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
additional products of the Russian Federation and to 70
percent ad valorem on certain other additional 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. In addition, I have determined that
increasing the column 2 rates of duty from 35 percent
ad valorem to 70 percent ad valorem on certain products
covered by Proclamation 10420 of June 27, 2022, 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 the Annex to this proclamation. The United
States will monitor the implementation of the increased
duties, and I may revisit this determination, as
appropriate.

7. 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 6 of this proclamation,
subdivision (b) to U.S. Note 30 to subchapter III of
chapter 99 of the HTSUS is modified and new HTSUS
heading 9903.90.09 and new subdivisions (c) and (d) to
U.S. Note 30 to subchapter III of chapter 99 of the
HTSUS are established, as provided for in the Annex 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 April 1, 2023, and shall
continue in effect, unless such actions are expressly
reduced, modified, or terminated.
(3) 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-fourth day of February, in the year of our Lord
two thousand twenty-three, and of the Independence of
the United States of America the two hundred and forty-
seventh.
