On December 18,2025 papier-mâché artists in Srinagar ,Jammu and Kashmir create Christmas decorations as the holiday season approaches. However, the industry faces fresh hurdles after the US increases import duties. Artisans fear that the higher tariffs will decrease demand for their products, particularly Christmas ornaments, which make up a large part of exports.
