S 2868

This bill, titled the India Shrimp Tariff Act, proposes a phased-in increase in tariffs on shrimp imported from India. The legislation argues that Indian shrimp imports are unfairly subsidized and pose a threat to domestic U.S. shrimp producers. It seeks to gradually raise tariffs on specific shrimp subheadings, starting in 2026 and continuing through 2028, with the aim of protecting the U.S. shrimp industry and aligning trade practices with free trade agreements. Additionally, the bill includes provisions for country-of-origin labeling and the use of tariff revenue for inspections.
