India responds to White House report on Chinese goods transshipment
India says it is studying a White House report that flags the country among major hubs for transshipment of Chinese goods to evade US tariffs.
India has stated it is scrutinizing a White House report that places the nation in the top tier of countries allegedly used for transshipment of Chinese goods to circumvent US tariffs, while upholding its domestic legal framework. The report, released by the White House's Office of Trade and Manufacturing Policy, identifies India and over 40 other nations as potential targets for China-linked transshipment risks.
India was listed among "China's biggest enablers" in the report. External Affairs Ministry spokesperson Randhir Jaiswal acknowledged receiving the report but emphasized that the country possesses robust laws and regulations governing customs, rules of origin, and exports. Any violations would be dealt with according to the law. Jaiswal also dismissed speculation linking the government's action to the proposed changes in the Foreign Contribution (Regulation) Act, stating that legislative matters are internal decisions of the Indian Parliament.
