 "US notifies Trump tariffs on Indian imports, new levies from tomorrow")
The United States on Monday issued an official notice confirming a 25 per cent hike in tariffs on Indian imports, raising the overall rate to 50 per cent from August 27 under President Donald Trump’s executive order.
The United States has formally announced a 25 per cent hike in tariffs on Indian imports through an official notice, with the new duties set to take effect at 12:01 am (EST) on August 27, raising the overall tariff rate to 50 per cent.
The Department of Homeland Security, through US Customs and Border Protection (CBP), said the step enforces President Donald Trump’s Executive Order 14329, signed on August 6.
Earlier this month, Trump unveiled plans to double tariffs on Indian goods from 25 per cent to 50 per cent over New Delhi’s continued purchase of Russian oil, setting an August 27 deadline. The draft notice, published Monday, confirms the administration will proceed with the higher levies.
According to the notice, the tariffs apply to Indian products “that are entered for consumption, or withdrawn from warehouse for consumption, on or after 12:01am eastern daylight time on August 27, 2025.”
The White House has said the move is intended to pressure Russian President Vladimir Putin by restricting Moscow’s oil revenues and forcing him to the negotiating table to end the war in Ukraine. India has rejected the so-called secondary tariffs as unfair and defended its decision as being in its own national interest.
