The India Shrimp Tariff Act increases duties on shrimp imports from India to protect U.S. shrimp producers.

The India Shrimp Tariff Act aims to increase duties on shrimp imports from India to protect U.S. shrimp producers. It phases in a duty increase from 2026 to 2028, with duties rising from 10% to 40% and $0.25/kg to $1/kg. The act also mandates country-of-origin labeling for cooked shrimp and crawfish. It requires the President to impose a $0.10 per kilogram duty on shrimp imports, with proceeds used for inspections. The act addresses concerns about India's heavily subsidized shrimp exports and the limited effectiveness of U.S. trade remedy laws.
