The Trump administration on Friday unveiled fresh duties of between 10% and 12.5% on goods from 60 trading partners, including India

The 10 per cent temporary tariff imposed by the US on imports from its trading partners, including India, is set to expire at 9:31 am (IST) on July 24, unless President Donald Trump's administration extends the measure or announces a new tariff regime. If no fresh announcement is made in the next few hours, imports from India and other US trading partners will revert to the tariff regime that existed before April 2, 2025, when no additional duty was in place. Trump, in April 2025, announced sweeping reciprocal tariffs on a number of countries, including on India (26 per cent). For example, a shirt exported from India, which attracted a 5 per cent Most Favoured Nation (MFN) duty in the US, has been subject to an additional 10 per cent tariff since February 24. If the temporary tariff expires on July 24 without being extended or replaced, the product will again attract only the 5 per cent MFN duty. The US, on Wednesday, said it will release the "final responsive action" on Section 30
