Strategic Analysis to Mitigate the Tariff Risks in E-Commerce Industries in Context to

Abstract In today's volatile trade environment, global tariff risk mitigation is a critical priority for businesses engaged in international commerce. Recent developments, such as the United States imposing a 10% universal tariff on imports and imposing higher rates on major trading partners, have introduced significant market uncertainty and supply chain disruptions. Companies must deal with a complex web of tariffs, with some Chinese goods facing rates as high as 145%. Effective global tariff risk mitigation strategies are essential to protect profit margins, maintain competitive pricing, and ensure supply chain resilience in this challenging landscape. The United States Trade Representative (USTR) source indicates that although the Indian government has pursued ongoing economic reform efforts, US exporters continue to face significant tariff and non-tariff barriers that hinder imports of US products into India. The World Trade Organization estimates that the most favored nation import duty imposed on India is 13.8 percent, the highest among any major economy.
