India-US interim trade framework reduces many tariffs, opens sectoral market access, and addresses non-tariff and digital trade barriers.
An interim trade framework sets reciprocal tariff reductions-many tariffs capped at 18% and zero tariffs for specified goods-and sectoral market access expansions for textiles, leather, chemicals, pharmaceuticals, gems, aircraft parts and select machinery. It includes negotiated exemptions, tariff rate quotas, mutually agreed rules of origin, commitments to remove non-tariff and digital trade barriers, measures to ease access for medical devices and ICT goods, and a reciprocal modification mechanism tied to tariff changes, alongside coordinated actions to strengthen supply chain resilience and technology trade.
