A $67 billion tariff trail leads the US to India over China trade, but evidence is thin: GTRI
The US has heightened scrutiny on India over alleged Chinese tariff evasion, estimating $67 billion in goods transshipped through India, Mexico, and Vietnam in 2025. However, the White House report lacks specific evidence linking Indian exporters to tariff fraud. GTRI argues that India's robust manufacturing in relevant sectors undermines claims of widespread rerouting of Chinese goods, with exports to the US reaching $414.5 million for liquid pumps alone in FY2026.
