Electronics Exports Get Interim Relief From US Tariff Move

INDIAN exports of smartphones, laptops, and tablets to the US likely to remain unaffected as the US had in April 2025 provided a 90-day exemption period on select electronics, allowing Indian exporters to continue shipments without being subject to the newly announced tariffs, according to reports citing sources.

These exemptions are scheduled to expire on August 14. A review meeting is expected to be held in the US before the deadline to decide on whether to extend the exemptions under Section 232 of US trade law. Industry experts believe the tariff development is unlikely to significantly impact India's mobile manufacturing sector.
