US tariff on Indian exports reduced to 10% following forced labour action

The United States has reduced tariffs on most Indian exports to ten percent, down from the earlier 12.5%. The reduction follows India's recent steps to address forced labour in imports, which appears to have influenced the US decision.

Indian exporters now face improved competitive positioning against rival nations. However, certain sectors will continue to face separately imposed, higher tariff rates. The overall trade environment remains fluid, with potential for additional levies in the future.
