<h1>Temporary import surcharge lowers reciprocal US tariff on Indian goods following legal limitation on presidential tariff powers</h1> A presidential proclamation imposes a temporary import surcharge of ten per cent ad valorem, effective February 24, 2026, applied in addition to existing Most Favoured Nation duties; this replaces prior broader reciprocal levies on Indian goods, while higher sectoral tariffs for specified products remain and the surcharge applies only to a portion of exports due to coverage exemptions.
