Indian Garment Exporters Shift Focus from US to Europe Amid Tariff Changes
Indian garment exporters, including Orient Craft in Ranchi, are reducing reliance on the US market following tariff hikes of up to 50% imposed last year, which led to order cancellations and discount demands. Despite lower current duties and potential trade agreements, exporters are shifting sales toward Britain, Europe, and India to diversify risk. This realignment may strengthen India's negotiating position with the US and reduce vulnerability to future tariff pressures. Meanwhile, India's new free-trade agreements with countries like the UK aim to remove tariffs but primarily level the playing field rather than provide direct competitive advantages to small exporters.
