The Trump administration has clarified that the refund of 25% extra US tariff linked to Russian crude oil will be available only in those cases where duty was charged by mistake on shipments arriving after February 7. This is not a policy rollback or tariff relief, but a procedural fix to correct incorrect collection due to technical error. According to the US government, refunds will not be automatic, but will be evaluated on a case-by-case basis. Refund will be approved only after checking the import date, documentation and duty payment details. What this means is clear – there will be no extra tariff on future imports, but the duty already charged will be refunded only in eligible cases.
