A Kashmiri artisan holds a Santa Claus made of papier-mache at the workshop before sending it to the market ahead of Christmas celebrations in Srinagar, Jammu and Kashmir, on December 16, 2025. Christmas is celebrated across India and worldwide on December 25 to commemorate the birth of Jesus Christ. Kashmir's papier-mache artisans face fresh challenges after US President Donald Trump announces higher import duties, raising concerns among exporters dependent on overseas markets. Artisans say the increased tariffs could reduce demand for Kashmiri products, especially Christmas decorations, which form a major share of exports. Papier-mache items from Kashmir are shipped to the US, Italy, Germany, France, Australia, Muscat, and the UAE. Exporters warn that higher costs may hurt orders and livelihoods in the Valley's centuries-old craft industry
