🌏 US-India Tariff Deal: What It Means for Your Supply Chain (And How Jonah Can Help)

Big news in global trade: The US and India just reached a framework deal slashing tariffs on Indian goods from 25% to 18% — with some categories like generic pharmaceuticals, gems, and aircraft parts getting tariff-free status.

Why this matters for procurement teams:

• Lower costs on textiles, apparel, leather, footwear, machinery, and more

• Potential new sourcing opportunities from India

• But also: More complexity in tracking changing tariff structures, lead times, and supplier performance across shifting trade agreements

Here's where traditional purchasing workflows struggle:

With tariff agreements constantly shifting (remember the EU suspension? The South Korea tensions?), your team needs to:

• Update pricing and lead times in real-time

• Renegotiate with existing suppliers

• Evaluate new Indian vendors

• Track POs across an increasingly complex global landscape

• Match invoices against new pricing structures
