The United States has officially imposed 50% tariffs on Indian imports after the latest 25% duty, announced earlier this month by President Donald Trump, came into effect today at 9:31 am. The move doubles the trade tax on India.
Trump introduced the additional tariffs as a punishment for India’s purchase of oil from Russia. Meanwhile, India has called it “unfair, unjustified, and unreasonable.”
According to the US Department of Homeland Security, the new duties will apply to Indian products entering the American market from August 27, 2025.
