 Tariff measures taken to curb the imports of non-essential items

 

The Central Government has taken tariff measures, by way of increase in the basic customs duty, to curb import of certain imported items. These changes aim at narrowing the current account deficit (CAD).

 

Notifications are being issued today. These changes in rates of basic customs duty (BCD) will be effective from 27.09.2018 (i.e., midnight of 26th September/27th September, 2018)

  

The total value of imports of these items in the year 2017-18 was about Rs  86000 Crore.
