However, the US tariff on Indonesia and Vietnam is lower at 19% and 20% respectively. Till now, the tariff to the US from India was 10%.'The new tariff rate is going to seriously test the resolve and resilience of India's textile and apparel exporters as we will not enjoy a significant duty differential advantage vis-à-vis many other countries, except Bangladesh, with whom we compete for a larger share of the US market,' said Rakesh Mehra, chairman of Confederation of Indian Textile Industry (CITI).The US is India's largest market for textile and apparel exports. During January-May 2025, US imports of textile and apparel from India were valued at $4.59 billion, a rise of more than 13% compared to the same period last year.
