Total Effective Rate

India is a significant source of miscellaneous edible preparations imports into the United States, with approximately $130B in total bilateral trade.

The current tariff framework for miscellaneous edible preparations from India reflects the post-SCOTUS landscape: a 10% Section 122 tariff replaced the previously higher IEEPA rates after the Court's February 2026 ruling.

The Section 122 tariff is subject to a 150-day statutory time limit and is set to expire approximately July 24, 2026, unless Congress acts to extend or replace it. Importers should monitor legislative developments closely as this deadline approaches.

Miscellaneous Edible Preparations (HTS Chapter 21) carry an average MFN duty rate of 5% in addition to the Section 122 tariff. No additional Section 232 or Section 301 surcharges apply to most products in this category from India.

Key products in HTS Chapter 21 imported from India include Soy sauce, Ketchup, Ice cream, Soup preparations, Yeast, and Protein concentrates.
