New Delhi, July 24: India has secured lower tariffs from the United States following developments related to forced labour compliance measures, marking a positive step for bilateral trade and providing relief to Indian exporters across key sectors.
The tariff adjustment reflects progress in addressing labour-related concerns and reinforces India’s commitment to strengthening ethical sourcing practices, transparency in supply chains, and adherence to internationally recognized labour standards.
