Trump cuts tariffs on farm, industrial equipment imports, but gains for Indian exporters may be limited
03-Jun-2026

The US has reduced duties on agriculture and construction equipment to 15% from 25% through a proclamation signed by President Donald Trump. The tweaks are, however, expected to have a limited impact on India as its exports of the items that will attract lower duties is less than $ 50 million a year. The Proclamation adjusts the tariffs on agricultural equipment, like combines and harvesters, as well as certain other equipment, from 25% to 15%. It also expands the existing category of industrial equipment subject to a 15% tariff to include mobile industrial equipment, like bulldozers and forklifts, when imported from trade deal countries that are entitled to such treatment.
