In recent weeks, Apple has brought about 600 tonnes of iPhone from India to the United States by wind as part of a approach to preventing the high American role in Chinese imports. Reuters reported this on Thursday, April 10.
The company rented six aircraft aircraft, each with a capacity of 100 tons, for carrying nearly 1.5 million iPhone units.
Delivers are part of Apple’s broader approach aimed at increasing production in India and protecting from 125% of customary duty in Chinese imports introduced by the Donald Trump administration. At the same time, customary duty is used for India’s goods at 26%, which is lower. However, this rate was suspended 90 days after the US president’s decision.
Apple has tried to bring its products before the introduction of new duties, confirmed by resources familiar to the situation. The company has significantly accelerated the custom clearance process at the Chennai Airport in India, which provides the So -called “Green Corridor”, which allows to reduce freight design time from 30 to 6 hours. This method repeats the approach that Apple uses at some Chinese airports.
At the same time, Apple has actively increased the manufacture of its devices in India. According to Reuters, the company increased the production of 20% in the Indian factory, which hired additional employees and organizing the temporary work of the largest Foxconn plant in India over the weekend. The plant in Chennai is now also operating on Sunday, which is usually one day.
Last year, this plant produced nearly 20 million iPhones, including iPhone 15 and iPhone models. According to resources, over time, India is becoming more important for Apple, as the company expands production outside China. Foxconn and Tata, two major Apple suppliers in India, are currently in charge of three factories, two others under construction.
Currently, the United States and Apple are actively employed by an increase in the production component in India as part of the diversity approach. This step is important to reduce hope in the Chinese market, which has become particularly relevant after the introduction of Trump’s new traditional tariffs.
Remember that American buyers are rushing to apple stores, buying an iPhone against the back of fears about the future sharp rising prices due to Donald Trump’s new roles.
Earlier it was reported that Apple had lost $ 638 billion in three days.
