Exporters in India are shifting to air transport for deliveries to the U.S. due to uncertainty over new tariffs set to take effect on April 2. This change affects sectors like electronics, gems, jewellery, apparel, and footwear. Logistical challenges arise as air transport capacity is limited compared to shipping. Exporters are facing difficulties in meeting demand, with many opting for smaller shipments to navigate the situation. Despite these challenges, some exporters remain hopeful about a resolution to the tariff issues, citing ongoing negotiations for a Bilateral Trade Agreement between India and the U.S. They believe this could mitigate the impact of the tariffs.
