flag Senators introduce bill to impose 40% tariff on Indian shrimp by 2028 to protect U.S. shrimp and catfish industries.

flag Senators Bill Cassidy and Cindy Hyde-Smith introduced the India Shrimp Tariff Act to impose a phased 40% tariff on shrimp imports from India by 2028, starting with 10% next year, aiming to protect Louisiana’s domestic shrimp and catfish industries from what they call unfair trade practices and low-cost, poorly regulated imports. flag The bill seeks to level the playing field for American producers, who argue that imported shrimp undermines local livelihoods, reduces incomes, and compromises quality. flag Support comes from shrimpers, processors, and restaurant owners concerned about market displacement. flag President Trump has voiced backing, aligning with broader efforts to defend U.S. agriculture and fisheries from foreign competition deemed unregulated or unfair. flag The legislation follows previous actions by Cassidy targeting trade issues with India and China, including a similar bill on rice.
