<h1>US announces 100% tariffs on foreign films and branded drugs, heavy furniture duties; risks major export disruptions and trade tensions</h1> The US President announced a 100% tariff on films produced outside the United States, plus substantial tariffs on imported furniture and a 100% tariff from October 2025 on branded/patented pharmaceuticals unless manufacturers build domestic plants. The measures target foreign content and industries and are expected to significantly affect overseas film exporters, notably India's multilingual film industry that relies on US box office and diaspora markets, and will constrain patented drug exports while leaving generics largely unaffected. The tariffs follow prior US duties on imports from India and come amid ongoing bilateral trade negotiations aiming to expand commerce, potentially complicating talks and supply-chain decisions.
