US President Donald Trump imposed new tariffs on 60 economies under Section 301 of the Trade Act of 1974, effective July 24, 2026.
India received a 10% tariff, lower than the initially proposed 12.5%, due to recent policy changes on forced labour.
economies face a 10% tariff, including India, Canada, the UK, Mexico, and Bangladesh; the remaining 43 economies face a 12.5% levy.
The tariffs replace a temporary 10% blanket tariff and follow USTR investigations launched on March 12, 2026.
