India's newly increased tariffs1 on 28 American goods came into effect from Sunday, as a retaliatory2 measure to Washington's recent refusal to exempt3 India from higher steel and aluminum4 tariffs.
印度对28种美国商品新增加的关税于周日生效，这是为了报复美国对其钢铁和铝征收的进口关税。
India on Saturday night officially announced to hike import taxes on as many as 28 American goods following the United States ending preferential trade treatment for India.
By
imposing5 the hiked tariffs, India would earn about 217 million U.S. dollars additional revenue from such imports, which is equivalent to what the United States would pocket by imposing higher tariffs on imports of steel and aluminum from India.
In a "Notification" issued by the Department of Revenue of the
Ministry6 of Finance late Saturday night, the Indian government said that customs duty was hiked on as many as 28 American products, thus making these items
costlier7 in the Indian market.
The items include almonds, apples, acids and chemicals, official sources from the ministry said.
Earlier, the list comprised 29 items, "but one item has been dropped," an official from the country's Ministry of Commerce and Industry said. India removed "Artemia," a kind of
shrimp8, from the list.
