The US has doubled the tariffs imposed on India to 50% and the Indian post has also taken a big decision amidst this tariff tension, due to which the postal booking of all the categories going to America has been completely suspended. While sharing the information on Sunday by the Ministry of Communications, it has been clear that it has been decided to completely suspend the posting of all the categories including letters, documents and gift items going to America.
Government gave information about decisions
Giving information about this decision taken between tariff tension, the government also mentioned the reasons behind it. It was said by the Ministry of Communications that the booking of all categories, including letters, documents and gift items worth up to $ 100, is being completely suspended in the absence of regulatory mechanisms under the new rules being implemented by the Airlines in the transportation of posts going to America and the new rules being implemented by the US.
‘Efforts to restore services continue’
Following the new rules in the US, it was told by the government on 22 August that it has been decided to temporarily suspend all types of postal booking for the US except US $ 100, which is worth US $ 100, which is valued at US $ 100. But now the government has completely suspended the postal booking of all categories. However, the postal department has clearly stated in its notice that the government is keeping a close watch on every situation and efforts are being made to restore services as soon as possible.
Decision after US order
This step by the Indian Postal Department has been raised after an order issued by the Trump administration of the US on 30 July 2025, in which the tariff exemption on imported goods up to $ 800 was withdrawn and the new rule came into effect from August 29. Under the new rules, all the items coming to the US will attract customs duty under the International Emergency Economy Power Act (IEEPA) tariff, although the order was exempted to up to $ 100.
America has imposed double tariff on India
Tension between India and America has been seen increasing after the tariff attack of Trump. Actually, the US has imposed 25 percent tariff on India before, which came into effect from 1 August 2025. But after this, making an issue of purchase of Russian oil and weapons, it was increased from the US to 50 per cent from the last 27 August, imposing an additional tariff of 25 per cent on India. With this, India has stood at the top of the list of such countries with Brazil, on which Trump has imposed the most tariff.
