The additional Trump tariffs (25%+25%) on Indian imports are really set to be applied and enforced ?
The US Department of Homeland Security issued a formal official notice that the new 25% additional tariff (taking the total to 50%) on Indian goods will be implemented starting 12:01 a.m. Eastern Time on August 27, 2025.
This is in direct compliance with President Trump's executive order and is not just a threat or negotiation tactic. Multiple government and media sources confirm the order’s effective date, its scope, and that there are virtually no last-minute talks to defer or suspend the action.
While there is some market speculation and lobbying for exemptions or sector-specific relief, the official announcements and administrative orders confirm that the tariffs will be imposed as scheduled, and Indian exporters/importers are already getting guidance on how to handle shipments in transit.
Exceptions exist (mainly for goods shipped before the cutoff time and for certain exempt sectors like pharmaceuticals and electronics), but for most affected categories like textiles, gems, shrimp, and leather the additional duty applies in full.
In summary, these tariffs are not hypothetical—they will be applied from August 27, 2025, and are already being factored into business and market decisions.
