The Government of India has lifted additional duties on American walnuts, almonds, and apples along with other products.
The Ministry of Finance announced the elimination of tariffs on a number of American products, including chickpeas, lentils (masur), apples, walnuts in shells, fresh or dried almonds, as well as shelled almonds, in a notification dated September 5.
This notification was issued in light of the G20 Summit, which was held in New Delhi from September 9–10 and was attended by American President Joe Biden.
Both countries decided to resolve six WTO issues and remove retaliatory tariffs on particular US goods during Prime Minister Modi’s official visit to the US in June.
India will eliminate extra taxes on chickpeas (10%), lentils (20%), fresh or dry almonds (7/kg), shelled almonds (20/kg), walnuts (20%), and fresh apples (20%) as part of this deal.
