The United States announces new Section 301 tariff rates affecting around 60 countries, with India placed in the lower 10% tariff category. According to reports, the United States sets fresh tariff slabs of 10% and 12.5% for participating economies, announced on Thursday local time. Multiple outlets say India is included among the countries covered by the new measures and that its goods fall under the 10% bracket, while other countries face a higher 12.5% rate. The coverage frames the action as part of the US Section 301 trade tariff program and describes the broader scope as targeting dozens of countries rather than a single bilateral measure. The reporting does not provide additional details in the excerpts on the specific product categories affected, timing for implementation, or the total tariff rates’ duration. Overall, the common elements across sources are the updated tariff categories (10% and 12.5%), the application to roughly 60 countries, and India’s placement at 10%.
