According to White House executive orders, the United States has announced that it will suspend new tariffs on India for ninety days, until July 9 of this year. On April 2, US President Donald Trump imposed severe charges on nations like India and universal duties on over 60 nations that sell goods to the US.
The United States levied an extra 26% import tax on India. Its rivals, including China, Vietnam, and Thailand, were subject to heavy tariffs. This tariff moratorium does not cover China, Hong Kong, and Macau.
Enforcement of the second paragraph of section 3(a) of Executive Order 14257 is suspended until 12:01 a.m. eastern daylight time on July 9, 2025, with effect from April 10, 2025, on or after 12:01 a.m. eastern daylight time for goods entered for consumption or withdrawn from warehouse for consumption, the order stated.
The application of reciprocal tariffs is mentioned in the second paragraph of Section 3(a) of the executive order that was issued on April 2. It contains the tariff rates for various nations listed in Annex 1. However, the 10% baseline tariff that is now in effect for the nations will not be altered.
