Global trade flows shifted sharply today as major policy decisions from two of the world’s largest exporters took effect. On November 16, 2025, changes favourable to Indian agricultural exports and renewed momentum in the India-United States trade dialogue stood out.
At EximHub.pro, we track these changes to help exporters, importers and trade-strategy professionals adapt their sourcing, market access, compliance and product positioning. Below is the curated roundup of today’s major trade-news items.
1. U.S. Tariff Rollback Offers Relief for Indian Agricultural Exports

Under a U.S. Presidential exemption, tariffs on more than 200 food-products — including tea, coffee, spices and cashew nuts — have been waived. Indian agricultural exporters were among the key beneficiaries of the move, which could support an estimated US$2.5 billion–3.0 billion in export value.
Why it matters:
- For Indian exporters of value-added agri-products, this creates renewed access to U.S. market segments with high demand.
- For global importers sourcing from India, this may impact pricing and supply-chain competitiveness in U.S. bound agri-commodities.
EximHub Insight:
If your business involves exports of tea, coffee, spices, cashew or niche food-products from India, now is a strategic time to align your U.S. market-entry plan, review compliance and capitalise on tariff relief. Learn more via our export growth & market-access advisory.
2. India-U.S. Trade Deal Nears Finalisation — Broader Market Access Expected

Negotiators indicate a bilateral trade agreement between India and the United States could be announced by end-November. The deal includes India opening its market to duty-free imports of soybean, corn and certain dairy products, and reciprocal tariff adjustments on industrial and agricultural goods are under discussion.
Why it matters:
- Indian exporters across manufacturing, technology and services sectors should begin positioning for improved U.S. access and preferential rules of origin.
- Conversely, global businesses sourcing from India should monitor how trade volumes and sectoral dynamics might change following deal implementation.
