The document is an updated version of the “Liberation Day” tariffs announced by US President Donald Trump on April 2.
Initially, India’s tariff rate was mentioned as 27% in the earlier version of the White House annex. However, the latest revision has adjusted it to 26%. The update also included tariff changes for at least 14 other countries, including South Korea, Botswana, Cameroon, Malawi, Nicaragua, Norway, Pakistan, the Philippines, Serbia, South Africa, Thailand, Vanuatu, and the Falkland Islands.
A report by Bloomberg on Thursday had found differences in the White House’s published data. The tariff rates in the annex were different from the figures shown in the charts during Trump’s original announcement. For example, South Korea’s rate was listed as 26% instead of 25%.
Under the executive order that enforces Trump’s reciprocal tariff policy, all US trading partners are subject to a 10% global tariff, which took effect on 5 April. However, some countries, as mentioned in the annex, will have higher tariffs, including India at 26%.
The revised annex also removed some territories that were included in earlier versions. For example, Reunion, which was previously listed with a 37% tariff, along with Saint Pierre and Miquelon and Norfolk Island, were not included in the final document.
