Tariff tremors on $61 bn worth of US apparel imports from Asia
The reciprocal tariffs announced by the US administration may mark a major shift in $61 billion of apparel sourcing from Asia. With steep hikes in effective tariffs—up to 77 per cent for China—Asia’s dominance may wane, benefiting low-tariff regions like Mexico, South America, and parts of the Middle East. India stands to gain with relatively lower tariffs and ongoing trade talks.
