Indian shrimp exporters are keeping their fingers crossed as the US is set to begin its review of anti-dumping and countervailing duties on shrimp next month, and are seeking government intervention to help secure relief amid stiff global competition, industry experts say. The exporters said that the formula of the US to calculate these duties is incorrect, and the Indian government should take up the issues with them bilaterally, as domestic traders are facing tough competition from Ecuador and Vietnam in the American market. "The US authorities consider India's RoDTEP and duty drawback schemes as incentive schemes, which is not the case. Both are WTO-compliant duty refund schemes only," Kolkata-based seafood exporter and MD of Megaa Moda Yogesh Gupta said. He added that the US uses a 'zeroing' method to impose anti-dumping duty on shrimp, which is not correct and needs to be re-looked as it distorts the calculation of the margin of dumping. He said that exporters are concerned an
The government is still assessing the impact of US tariffs on the country's chemicals and petrochemicals industry, a senior official said on Thursday. "We are still studying. We are in touch with the industry and trying to assess how it will impact our industry," Chemicals and Petrochemicals Secretary Nivedita Shukla Verma told PTI on the sidelines of a brainstorming session here. US President Donald Trump on April 9 reduced a planned 26 per cent reciprocal tariff to 10 per cent, just one week after announcing the higher rate on April 2. The government will determine measures after discussions with industry players, Verma added. According to industry data, chemicals constitute about 18 per cent of India's total exports to the US, with FY24 exports valued at around USD 5.7 billion. India Ratings and Research estimates the tariff hike could reduce chemical exports by USD 2-7 billion in FY26. Industry experts said the tariff increase substantially raises costs for Indian chemical ex

Japan recorded a trade deficit in its March-April fiscal year but racked up a surplus with the US, the Finance Ministry reported Thursday. Japan's global trade deficit totalled 5.2 trillion yen (USD 37 billion) for the fiscal year through March, for the fourth straight year of deficits, according to the provisional statistics. The surplus with the US ballooned to 9 trillion yen (USD 63 billion). Exports to the US are a contentious issue for US President Donald Trump and Japanese negotiators are in Washington to argue their case against higher US tariffs. Japan is a key longtime US ally and major investor in the US, employing hundreds of thousands of Americans. Trump said on April 2 that he planned to impose a 24 per cent tariff on imports from Japan as part of an announcement of higher tariffs on dozens of countries. After financial markets panicked, he put a partial 90-day hold on the import taxes, while increasing his already steep tariffs on Chinese goods to as much as 145 per .

US President Donald Trump on Wednesday inserted himself directly into trade talks with Japanese officials, a sign of the high stakes for the United States after its tariffs rattled the economy and caused the administration to assure the public that it would quickly reach deals.
