The main purpose of the India Shrimp Tariff Act is to increase import duties on shrimp coming from India. This legislation aims to support U.S. shrimp producers who face tough competition from Indian shrimp imports, which are often subsidized and cheaper due to lower production costs and less stringent regulations. Key provisions of the Act include a phased increase in duties on shrimp from India. Starting January 1, 2026, the duty will be set at 10% and will rise to 20% in 2027, and then to 40% in 2028.
