US Tariffs: US President Donald Trump announced a slew of new tariffs on at least 85 countries, including the ones he has made a trade deal with, hours before the August 1 deadline.

The new tariffs include a 10 per cent global minimum and 15 per cent or higher duties for countries with trade surpluses with the US.

For many countries, the baseline tariffs remain unchanged. However, for countries like Canada, the tariff has been increased from 25 per cent to 35 per cent. India is among the highest-charged countries under the new set of US tariffs at 25 per cent, as compared to peers like Pakistan (19 per cent), Vietnam (20 per cent) and Bangladesh (20 per cent).

Most of the rates will take effect after midnight on August 7 to allow time for US Customs and Border Protection to make necessary changes to collect the levies.

No Compromise — Farmers Matter!

The official made it clear that India will not compromise on the interests of its farmers. “The farmer’s interest is paramount. There is no question of allowing the import of genetically modified (GM) crops,” the source said. “India will not agree to any terms that hurt our agriculture or dairy sectors.”

There will also be no relaxation on matters linked to religious sensitivities, including non-vegetarian milk and beef products, the official confirmed.

“There is no compromise on issues like non-veg milk and beef. These are matters of food safety and religious sentiment,” the official added.

Majority of Exports Remain Stable; Minor Decline Expected

While the tariff has raised concern across sectors, the government source explained that most of the goods exported from India to the US are not under the new tariff bracket. “Exports may fall slightly, but a large share of Indian goods going to the US will remain outside the new duties,” the official said.

The impact, if any, will be seen only in a few segments and is not expected to disrupt trade on a large scale. The government is keeping close track and is prepared to take necessary steps if things change.

India’s Bold Trade Strategy

The government is currently in discussions with the US for a bilateral trade agreement (BTA), which could also help reduce trade tensions. “Negotiations for the BTA are moving in the right direction,” the official said. “Once that deal is in place, both countries will have the opportunity to review the tariff structure.”

The source also mentioned that India is not under pressure and will continue to safeguard national interests. “India is giving top priority to its interests. There will be no adverse effect allowed on the interests of Indian farmers. The interests of the agriculture and MSME sectors will be protected at all costs.”
