thebalanced.newsTimeline of US Additional Tariffs on Indian Goods Since April 2025
Since April 2025, the US imposed various additional tariffs on Indian goods beyond standard MFN duties, including reciprocal tariffs and penalties linked to India's purchase of Russian oil. Tariffs ranged from 25 to 50 percent, with several suspensions and legal challenges. US courts struck down some reciprocal tariffs in early 2026, but sectoral tariffs under Section 232, such as on steel and pharmaceuticals, remain unchanged. The US administration has indicated intentions to adjust tariffs but has yet to implement reductions.
