🌎 Mexico and Canada in the Tariff Crosshairs: A Wake-Up Call for U.S. Businesses President Trump’s recent tariff proposals target Mexican and Canadian imports, disrupting the automotive, electronics, and manufacturing sectors. These tariffs could add 25% to import costs, jeopardizing over $250 billion worth of cross-border trade annually. 🚨 The ripple effects: Supply chain costs are set to rise, especially in automotive and electronics industries reliant on Mexico for assembly and Canada for components. U.S. businesses face increased production costs, reduced competitiveness, and potential delays in product launches. 🔑 What’s next? With North American supply chains under strain, sourcing strategies must evolve. India offers a resilient and cost-effective alternative with its thriving manufacturing ecosystem and incentives like the PLI Scheme. 💼 India Index can help U.S. businesses seamlessly transition to reliable Indian suppliers, ensuring stability amid uncertainty. . . . #TradePolicy #SourcingStrategy #SupplyChain #IndiaIndex #Tariffs

🌍 Simplifying Global Trade with EXW (Ex Works) When it comes to international trade, Ex Works (EXW) is one of the most straightforward Incoterms. But is it the right choice for your business? Under EXW, the buyer takes on all the responsibilities from the seller's warehouse onward—transport, customs, and risks. While it offers sellers convenience, it requires buyers to have a robust understanding of logistics and regulations. At India Index, we empower Indian suppliers and global buyers with the tools and insights to navigate terms like EXW effectively. Key Considerations for EXW: 📦 Suitable for buyers with established logistics networks. 💸 Costs are transparent for sellers, but buyers must manage hidden logistics costs. 🌏 Essential for buyers importing goods from suppliers with limited export experience. Whether you're an Indian supplier expanding globally or a buyer looking to source effectively, understanding trade terms like EXW is critical. 👉 Explore our resources and discover how India Index simplifies sourcing, trade compliance, and market connections. #GlobalTrade #EXW #IndiaIndex #Incoterms2024 #InternationalTrade #SourcingFromIndia
