GJEPC partners with Economic Laws Practice to address industry concern over US tariffs

The Gem and Jewellery Export Promotion Council partnered with legal advisory firm Economic Laws Practice to organise a webinar to help exporters navigate changing US trade policies. Titled ‘US Tariff Challenges: A Strategic Webinar for Indian Gems and Jewellery Exporters,’ the session drew over 250 participants from across the industry, highlighting growing concern around tariff impacts on exports.

In his opening remarks, Sabyasachi Ray, executive director of GJEPC, provided an overview of the US tariff structure and outlined potential risks for Indian exporters, the traders’ body reported on its website. Ray urged businesses to remain informed and take proactive measures to mitigate future disruptions.

Specialists from ELP, including Sanjay Notani, Parthasarathi Jha, and Supreme Kothari, offered a detailed breakdown of the current US tariff regime. Their analysis covered segment-wise impacts on the gems and jewellery trade and outlined legal and strategic options available to Indian exporters.

During the Q&A segment, attendees raised questions around compliance, documentation, and long term trade prospects. The speakers also discussed potential shifts in US policy and their implications for India’s export position. The initiative reflects GJEPC’s continued efforts to support exporters amid a volatile trade environment, and marks a step towards building resilience in India’s gem and jewellery sector, the organisation announced.
