President Donald Trump’s Oct. 16 order waived new Russia-related duties and most sanctions under the Lindsey O. Graham Sanctioning Russia and Iran Act of 2026, two days before key tariff provisions were due to take effect. The law, signed by Trump on Sept. 18, set a 30-day timetable for raising duties on Russian goods to as much as 500% ad valorem. Trump’s order describes a 500% ad valorem increase, while the law authorizes a duty rate of up to 500%.
