July 30, 2025 — U.S. President Donald Trump said India will be hit with a 25 percent tariff rate as of 1 August, the same date a range of other countries will also be hit by new tariffs if the deadline is not extended.
Trump first threatened to increase tariffs across almost every country in the world in early April before pausing them on most countries a few days later. At the time, India – the third-largest source of seafood imported to the U.S. by value – was being threatened with a 27 percent tariff.
