20 August 2021

USA import data 2021 shows the top imports for
diamonds and related products under the Heading 7102. While import data of USA
2021 shows the high imports for diamonds, USA import data 2020 shows the
highest imports in the country for pharmaceuticals. This was due to the still
ongoing pandemic because of the Coronavirus.
The United States of America had an impactful
experience going through the waves of the pandemic, driven by the virus of
COVID-19. It was impacted by the virus the most among major countries such as
India, France, and Italy. Imports of pharmaceuticals in the USA were
understandably higher than any other country and for any other commodity.
India has been the leading drug producer in the world
during the pandemic and exported the vaccines recently, during the second wave
of the pandemic in 2021 to many countries. India fulfilled over 50% of the
global vaccine demand for many countries when the first wave of the pandemic
impacted the world. Among these pandemic-struck countries, the USA was of major
importance because of the widespread intensity of the virus in its various
regions.
The United States of America accounted for about 40%,
in which the anti-malarial drug “hydroxychloroquine” was included. The USA is a
major destination for pharmaceuticals because of the strong consumer demand. In
the import data of the USA below, the top imports of the USA from India are
shown with the corresponding column from product’s name showing the ‘heading’
to which each product belongs, along with their import values. Pharmaceutical

According to The Rapaport Group, the USA is the net importer of polished diamonds. It states that the United States of America has no within-country operational mines for diamonds. However, it has manufacturing setups to produce diamonds for consumer consumption. Therefore, the USA is also known as the country with high imports for rough diamonds.
India is the top source for diamonds’ imports in the
United States of America, followed by Israel. The growing US-India’s bilateral
trade relationship is a good sign for the businesses in both the countries. The
bilateral relations between countries grew during the pandemic when high
imports of pharmaceuticals were sent by India to the USA for lending out the
hand during the heat of COVID-19 in 2020.
Not only
pharmaceuticals, diamonds as well are the leading business opportunities for
businesses in India and USA. Take advantage of the dynamic global trade trends
