The United States (US) is pushing India to commit to an immediate elimination of Customs duties on most products as soon as the bilateral trade deal being negotiated by the two countries takes effect, posing another hurdle in concluding an agreement before August 1, when new US tariffs will kick in.
“The US has sought from India an aggressive timeline for duty elimination. It wants zero duty on most of its products as soon as the deal comes into force, except for a few tariff lines that can be phased out in a year or two,” a government official said,
