The US Department of Homeland Security on Monday issued a notice outlining the plan to implement 50 per cent tariffs on Indian imports. President Donald Trump, in an executive order, announced 25 per cent tariffs on India but the levies were heightened to 50 per cent, asserting that India was fuelling the Ukraine war by buying oil from Russia.
The notice says that the hike in tariffs would affect Indian products “that are entered for consumption, or withdrawn from warehouse for consumption, on or after 12:01 AM eastern daylight time on August 27, 2025.”
