The Directorate General of Foreign Trade (DGFT) has announced an extension for the submission deadline of Tariff Rate Quota (TRQ) applications under the India–United Kingdom Comprehensive Economic and Trade Agreement (CETA) for the calendar year 2026. This extension provides additional time for businesses to apply for TRQs, which allow imports at reduced tariff rates.
The extension impacts importers who are planning to utilize TRQs under the India-UK CETA. This is particularly relevant for industries that rely on importing goods under preferential tariff rates. The extension offers more flexibility in planning and submitting necessary documentation. However, it is crucial to verify if your specific goods or tariff classifications are affected.
