Gold and platinum jewellery exports to US will face 32-34 per cent duty, silver jewellery could be as high as 40.5 per cent
US President Donald Trump’s 27 per cent tariff on gems and jewellery industry will cause a disruption in the industry as US is one of the major exporting destinations for India, says Industry experts.
Gold and platinum jewellery will face 32-34 per cent duty, while silver jewellery could be taxed as high as 40.5 per cent. Other items such as lab-grown diamonds and imitation jewellery will also see significant hikes, going up to 38 per cent.The hike will hurt major categories like cut and polished diamonds and studded gold jewellery, which constitute a large share of exports.
Experts also warn that Indian exporters, especially small businesses, may lose share in US markets to other countries not facing these duties. They urge quick action from Indian policymakers to protect the country’s leadership in the global gems and jewellery trade.
