Divya Delhi:  Talking to reporters in the Oval Office with PM Modi sitting by him, he announced the reciprocal tariffs on India.He said, "No more or less," with impunity. They tax us, we tax them, but no one knows the amount. You have to travel to the nation to find out.He added India has the highest rates, albeit a few smaller nations surpass it.India has high tariffs, although some smaller countries are more. I remember when Harley Davidson couldn’t sell their motorbikes in India because in India - the tax was so high, the tariff was so high, and Harley was obliged to build… But I suspect they constructed a facility in India to dodge tariffs. Business professionals and political analysts were stunned by his announcement and its delivery.It is interesting to note that days before PM Modi left for the US visit, Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman cut the tariffs on US-made motorcycles Harley Davidson. She cut the 50% tariffs on heavyweight bikes with engines over 1,600cc to 30% and on smaller ones to 40%. The Indian Finance Minister cut synthetic flavoring essence levies from 100% to 20%. Also, fish hydrolysate duties for aquatic feed fell from 15% to 5%. India also lifted taxes on some garbage and junk. Experts of international commerce have pointed out that more than 75% of the US exports to India are taxed between 15% and 5%. India rarely uses non-tariff obstacles on the US. ington should understand that Indian products are cheaper because to other considerations like manpower, power, reduced customs and other things.Donald Trump addressed the issue of excessive tariff rates on Harley Davidson far back in his first term of office when he had condemned the then 100% duty on Harleys as “unacceptable”. He made it a campaign rallying point and waged war on what he perceived as unfair commerce.President Trump signed an executive order hours before PM Modi's US visit, directing the US Trade Representative and Commerce Secretary to propose new tariffs by country.ough the tariffs will be discussed with each country separately under this executive order, should not expect any preferential treatment or relief. Donald Trump has often argued that India has the highest tariffs and unfair trade practices.
