India-UK trade deal: CBIC eases paperwork for UK imports seeking preferential tariffs

·Economic Times·Impact 3/5 · Notable

The Central Board of Indirect Taxes and Customs (CBIC) has simplified the process for UK importers to claim preferential tariffs under the India-UK trade agreement. This change means that UK exporters only need to provide a valid origin declaration to prove the origin of their goods, rather than submitting additional paperwork. As a result, importers can now make routine import declarations without needing to provide Form-I, streamlining the process and reducing administrative burdens. This move is expected to boost trade between India and the UK.
