  • US Imposes 26 Percent Tariff on Indian Imports Amid Trade Tensions Sparking Economic Challenges and Diplomatic Negotiations

    US Imposes 26 Percent Tariff on Indian Imports Amid Trade Tensions Sparking Economic Challenges and Diplomatic Negotiations
    May 22 2025
    Welcome to India Tariff News and Tracker, bringing listeners the latest developments in U.S. trade policy and what it means for India right now.

    In early April 2025, the U.S. administration, under President Donald J. Trump, rolled out a sweeping new tariff structure, dramatically reshaping trade relationships with key partners, including India. According to India Briefing, the Trump administration imposed a 26 percent tariff on most imports from India, effective April 9, 2025, targeting goods beyond those already covered by Most Favored Nation duties. This move was presented as a reciprocal response, aiming to counter what the White House calls unfair trade practices by India and others.

    The policy features a two-phase approach. Starting April 5, 2025, the U.S. implemented a baseline 10 percent tariff on imports from all countries. Then, on April 9, an additional, country-specific tariff took effect—for India, that meant the headline 26 percent rate. However, some products are exempted, including certain pharmaceuticals, semiconductors, energy items, and copper, as outlined by S.S. Rana & Co. Additionally, goods with at least 20 percent U.S. origin content are taxed only on the non-U.S. portion, providing limited relief for some Indian exporters.

    The U.S. Trade Representative’s National Trade Estimate Report, released just before the tariffs, highlighted that India’s average Most Favored Nation applied tariff rate stands at 17 percent—the highest among major economies—with rates as high as 39 percent for agricultural goods, and significant tariffs on items like vegetable oils, apples, corn, and automobiles, according to India Briefing.

    President Trump has invoked the International Emergency Economic Powers Act, citing persistent U.S. trade deficits and the need to address what he describes as years of nonreciprocal treatment. The tariffs remain in force until the administration believes the threat posed by these imbalances has been resolved, as per a White House fact sheet.

    The impact on Indian businesses is immediate, with export competitiveness and supply chain stability under pressure. Unlike its approach with China, where the U.S. recently suspended certain tariffs for negotiation, Trump’s administration has maintained strong trade leverage against India and other allies. The Japan Times notes that this approach has rattled the U.S.-India strategic partnership, as India refrains from retaliation, instead seeking to negotiate new deals and increased purchases of U.S. goods. Trump has also publicly linked these trade moves to broader geopolitical considerations, including India’s regional security policies.

    Indian exporters are now adjusting to higher costs and seeking exemptions wherever possible, while some sectors benefit from specific carve-outs. The situation remains fluid as both nations continue discussions, with Indian policymakers emphasizing the need for dialogue and compromise.

  • India Offers Zero Tariffs on 60 Percent of Goods in Historic Trade Deal Proposal to Trump Administration

    India Offers Zero Tariffs on 60 Percent of Goods in Historic Trade Deal Proposal to Trump Administration
    May 15 2025
    Welcome to India Tariff News and Tracker, where we bring listeners up to speed on the latest headlines and developments in US-India trade relations and tariffs as of May 15, 2025.

    India has surged into the global trade spotlight after US President Donald Trump’s administration rolled out an aggressive new wave of tariffs targeting dozens of countries, including India. On April 2, Trump labeled the day “Liberation Day” for US trade policy, announcing a sweeping set of reciprocal tariffs. From April 5, a baseline 10 percent tariff on all imports took effect, but specific rates have gone much higher for some nations. For India, the new US tariff rate was set at a significant 26 percent, directly targeting major Indian exports spanning seafood, industrial metals like steel, and more. India Briefing reports that this move is part of a broader policy to recoup what Trump described as decades of unfair trade treatment by foreign nations.

    Driving this shift is longstanding criticism from Trump about India’s high tariffs, which the US Trade Representative’s 2025 National Trade Estimate Report describes as the highest among major economies. In 2023, India’s most favored nation applied tariff rate averaged 17 percent, with agricultural goods attracting a striking 39 percent tariff and non-agricultural goods at 13.5 percent. Specific Indian goods like vegetable oils, apples, corn, motorcycles, automobiles, and alcoholic beverages face some of the steepest barriers. Trump has argued that while American motorcycles face tariffs as high as 100 percent in India, the US imposes only 2.4 percent on Indian motorcycles.

    But in a surprising twist, negotiations have recently made headway. At a business gathering in Qatar this week, President Trump revealed that India has offered what he described as a historic trade deal. According to Trump and Reuters, India has proposed to bring tariffs on 60 percent of tariff lines down to zero in the first phase of a new trade agreement, essentially offering no tariffs on a broad array of American products. In return, India is seeking a full exemption from both existing and potential future US tariff hikes, a concession not even granted to the United Kingdom in recent US agreements.

    This proposal comes as the US temporarily suspended extra tariffs on Indian exports for a 90-day period, effective until July 9, a goodwill measure to bolster ongoing negotiations. India is also reportedly offering preferential access to nearly 90 percent of goods imported from the US. Critics note that while Trump’s team touts the reciprocal nature of these tariffs, some of the figures presented by the administration include harder-to-quantify factors such as currency manipulation and non-tariff barriers, which can inflate the effective tariff rate reported in public statements.

    With the 26 percent US tariff on Indian goods active unless a deal is struck and India offering zero tariffs on much of American trade, all eyes are on Washington and New Delhi. Any breakthrough could redefine the economic ties between the two nations, impacting everything from high-tech manufacturing to the price on everyday goods.

  • US Considers Trade Boost with India as Reciprocal Tariffs Loom, Bilateral Agreement Negotiations Gain Momentum

    US Considers Trade Boost with India as Reciprocal Tariffs Loom, Bilateral Agreement Negotiations Gain Momentum
    May 11 2025
    Welcome to India Tariff News and Tracker. In today's update, we have significant developments regarding US-India trade relations.

    President Donald Trump announced late yesterday that he plans to "increase trade substantially" with India and Pakistan following their recent ceasefire agreement. This statement comes amid ongoing tensions between the two South Asian nations, though both sides have accused each other of violating the truce since it was announced.

    The announcement represents a potential shift in the tariff landscape that has been evolving since April. Currently, India faces a planned 27% reciprocal tariff from the United States, which was initially scheduled to take effect on April 9th but has been delayed until July 9th, 2025. This is part of Trump's broader tariff strategy announced on what he called "Liberation Day" (April 2nd).

    The US administration has placed most country-specific reciprocal tariffs on pause, implementing instead a flat 10% tariff on imports from all countries (with China and Hong Kong being notable exceptions at 125%). However, India remains on the list for the delayed 27% rate coming in July.

    Trade relations between the two countries have been strained due to significant imbalances. India maintains one of the highest average applied tariff rates among major economies at 17%, compared to the US rate of just 3.3%. For agricultural products, the gap is even wider with India at 39% versus the US at 5%.

    The Office of the US Trade Representative highlighted these disparities in its annual National Trade Estimate Report released on March 31st. Despite these challenges, experts note that the impact on India's exports may be limited since only 18% of India's total exports go to the US, with automobiles and electronics—sectors most affected by the tariffs—comprising a relatively small portion of that trade.

    Pharmaceuticals, which represent 10% of India's exports to the US, remain exempt from the new tariffs, providing some cushion for bilateral trade. The US and India have also established Terms of Reference for a potential bilateral trade agreement, which could address these imbalances in the future.
