FIEO sees limited impact on Indian exports from new US tariffs
India faces a 10% US Section 301 tariff rate, below the 12.5% slab applied to many economies, according to FIEO. Textile exporters should closely track tariff-rate quotas proposed for competing Asian suppliers.
FIEO says new US Section 301 tariffs are unlikely to materially hurt Indian exports because India faces the lower 10% rate, but textile exporters must monitor proposed tariff-rate quotas for competing Asian suppliers.
Why this matters
FIEO’s assessment follows the recent signal that Indian exporters front-loaded US shipments as a USTR probe and BTA talks reshaped tariff math, showing exporters are balancing near-term tariff exposure with policy uncertainty.
