TRQ Applications Open for India-UK CETA 2026

What changed

The Directorate General of Foreign Trade (DGFT) has issued Public Notice 22/2026-27, inviting applications for Tariff Rate Quotas (TRQ) under the India-United Kingdom Comprehensive Economic and Trade Agreement (CETA) for the calendar year 2026. This notice outlines the process for applying for TRQs, which allow importers to bring in specified quantities of goods at reduced tariff rates.

Why it matters for shipments

TRQs can significantly impact import costs, making it crucial for businesses to understand the application process and eligibility criteria. This is particularly relevant for importers dealing with goods covered under the India-UK CETA. The notice does not specify which goods are affected, so it's essential for businesses to verify if their products are eligible.

What to do next

1) Open the official notice
2) Check whether your CTH, documents or policy line is touched
3) Ask Neo's CHA before changing Bill of Entry or Shipping Bill practice
