The U.S. exempted 254 Indian food items from tariffs to ease inflation, benefiting key exporters like cardamom and tea.
The U.S. has exempted 254 agricultural and processed food items, including coffee, tea, spices, tropical fruits, and beef, from reciprocal tariffs effective November 13, following a White House executive order signed by President Donald Trump.
The move, aimed at easing inflation and addressing voter concerns over rising food prices, benefits Indian exporters of high-value niche products like cardamom, ginger-turmeric, and tea, with $548 million in annual exports to the U.S.
The exemption applies to goods not produced in sufficient quantities domestically or requiring climate conditions the U.S. cannot replicate.
While the full impact depends on whether Indian exports are also exempt from a broader 50% tariff tied to Russian oil purchases, the policy shift signals a strategic adjustment in U.S.-India trade relations.
