(e) Potential products of imports from India
S.No. Commodity (2-digit HS tariff line) Rationale (Max. 200 words)
1. 02 – Meat and edible meat offal These are the items in top 25 products that UK imports from the world but not in top 25 bilateral trade with India Therefore, it is proposed to target these products for increasing India’s export to the UK in short term and medium-term strategy. UK has announced its new MFN tariff regime, the UK Global Tariff (UKGT) that replaced the EU’s Common External Tariff on 1st January 2021. We are in the process of examining the changes and would send a separate report on it.
2. 08 – Edible fruits and nuts; peel of citrus fruits or melons
3. 22 – Beverages, spirits and vinegar
4. 32 – Tanning or Dyeing Extracts
5. 33 – Essential oils and resinoids; perfumery, cosmetic, or toilet preparations
6. 38 – Miscellaneous chemical products
7. 44 – Wood and articles of wood; wood charcoal
8. 52 – Cotton
9. 72 - Iron and steel
10. 89 – Ships, boats and floating structures
11. 95 – Toys, games and sports requisites; parts and accessories
12.
47 - Pulp of wood or of other fibrous cellulosic material; waste and scrap of paper or paperboard
13. 85 - Electrical machinery and equipment and parts thereof; sound recorders and reproducers, television image and sound recorders and reproducers, and parts and accessories of such articles. LED lamps, which attract a duty of 3.7% as now, would go to zero.
14. 88 - Aircrafts, spacecraft parts thereof
15. 76 - Aluminium and articles thereof
16. Agri and Food Products
The UK is a net importer of food and food products from the EU. UK produces about 25% of fruits and vegetables consumed in the country. UK imports more than 70% of its food from EU of approximately 40 billion Euros. In the recently announced UK Global Tariffs (UKGT) it has announced liberalization and reduction of tariffs in a number of these products, to be applicable from January 2021. In this light, a member of Agri and Food products from India could become competitive for exports to this high value market. However, they would have to comply with environmental, animal welfare and food safety standards.

On 6 May 2022, the Republic of India and the United Kingdom concluded the third round of talks for an India-UK Free Trade Agreement (FTA). Negotiation officials undertook these technical talks in a hybrid fashion – with some of the teams meeting in New Delhi and the majority joining virtually. For this round of negotiations, draft treaty text was advanced across the majority of chapters.
