Electronics exports from India likely safe from US tariff hike—for now

Indian exporters of electronics products, such as smartphones, laptops, servers, tablets etc, are unlikely to be affected immediately by the latest US duties. The products fall under the Section 232 tariffs that are going to come up for review in the coming weeks, officials aware of the details told ET.

As of now, electronics exporters don't pay any duties for sending shipments to the US. "Until the 232 tariffs are announced, there won't be any impact on exports of smartphones like that of Apple, Samsung, Motorola etc to the US," said a person privy to the details.

For the time being, such exports will continue to stay at zero import duty.
