DGFT opens quota applications for goods under India-UK FTA
In short
DGFT has asked importers to apply for quota allocation for certain goods under the India-UK trade pact. The fresh tariff-rate quota applications are for 2027, after India wraps up 2026 quota allocations for UK-origin auto imports.
This matters for importers because the quota decides access for certain goods under the trade rules.
