Japan Drags India To WTO Over Excess Import Duty To Boost Make-In-India Prospects
Japan has complained against India’s excess import duties for smartphones to the World Trade Organisation, the trade body’s filings showed on Tuesday (May 14, 2019).
The complaint comes against India’s duties on mobile phones, base stations and routers, as well as the circuit boards and other components that go into these devices.
Japan alleged that the tariffs on some of the goods of substantial interest to the country were now “clearly in excess” of the rates allowed by the WTO. It is to be noted that India’s WTO membership terms specified that the import tariff on all the disputed goods was to be 0%. However, Japan alleges that, India applied a 20% tariff on mobile phones and base stations, and tariffs of 10%, 15% and 20% on some other products which have been named in its complaint.
Details
The complaint was filed by the Japanese government on May 10 when it requested for consultations over India’s duty regime.
