The U.S. is set to impose a 50% tariff on certain Indian products starting August 27, 2025, but exporters can avoid this duty if specific conditions are met. Goods must have been loaded onto vessels and in transit before the deadline, and they should be entered for consumption or withdrawn from U.S. warehouses by September 17, 2025. Additionally, importers are required to certify eligibility using HTSUS code 9903.01.85 to U.S. Customs. Meeting these criteria ensures Indian exports remain tariff-free, mitigating the impact of new trade restrictions. (PC: Bloomberg)
