Are Silicone Goods from India in to the United States (HS Code 3910.00.00) Subject to Tariffs?
If you are importing silicone goods classified under the Harmonized System Code (HS Code) 3910.00.00 — also written as 39100000 — from India in to the United States, you may be wondering whether these products are subject to the 50% tariff recently imposed on certain goods.
The short answer: No, they are not.
Why Silicone Goods from India Are Exempt
According to the Executive Order issued on July 2025 titled Further Modifying the Reciprocal Tariff Rates, the 50% tariff applies to select goods from specified countries. However, the order explicitly refers to exceptions listed in Executive Order 14257, which exempt silicones in primary forms from India from this additional duty.
This means that silicone products under HS Code 3910.00.00 or 39100000, when manufactured in India, are not subject to the additional tariff rate.
