US Eases Import Duties on Key Indian Agricultural Exports Including Spices and Tea

Overview:

The United States has significantly lowered import duties on nearly 200 food and agricultural items, providing major relief to Indian exporters. This move includes spices like black pepper, cumin, cardamom, turmeric, ginger, and various types of tea, along with mango derivatives and cashew nuts. While this offers a boost to some of India's key agri exports, items like seafood and basmati rice remain under existing US tariffs.
