“The U.S. pecan industry faces an excessively high tariff of 100 percent when exporting to India. Demand for tree nuts continues to grow in India, and high tariffs mean that the pecan industry is not able to participate in this booming market. India’s principal goal of the pecan tariff is revenue, but the high tariff has resulted in few imports and consequently little revenue for the country,” wrote Senator Warnock.
“Eliminating the tariff or, at a minimum, reducing the tariff to the level of other tree nuts, would simultaneously raise tariff revenues for India and increase U.S. imports, resulting in a mutually beneficial situation for both countries.”
“Expanding export market opportunities is key to the future of the pecan industry, and we are committed to working with you in support of this goal,” concluded Senator Warnock.
